Signed copies of Soth's Advice for Young Artists are in stock. Inspired by Walker Evans's late Polaroids, this latest body of work reveals a new expansion of Soth's practice and a new vantage, twenty years on from the publication of his first book. Recalling the conceit of Broken Manual, it uses an instructional format as a spurious cover for introspection and provocation. As much as a study of the experience of the young artist, this is a reckoning with the prospect of becoming an old one.

A new book receiving good critical reviews is Rossalind Fox Soloman's A Women I Once Knew. Taking photography as a means of insistent introspection, over five decades Solomon studied the evolution of her aging body and embraced the self-estrangement her camera affords. A Woman I Once Knew brings these self-portraits together alongside extended texts by Solomon to form a unique work of autobiography, ambitious in its combination of image and text. Solomon’s writings allude to the periodic depressions and euphoric experiences in other cultures that defined her extraordinary life and shaped her empathetic approach to photography.

A book we missed when it was first publish but is still available is Whitney Hubbs' Say SO. Gregory Halpern recently said " I don't know if it's me or photography, but I find myself bored by a lot of work lately. Maybe its both? BBut I am not bored by Hubbs' work. It's full of contradictions, and in every sense reveals a truly original vision."

We are expecting signed copies of Gregory Halpern's Queen, King, Knave in stock soon. Over two decades, Gregory Halpern has been photographing in and around his hometown of Buffalo, New York, meticulously crafting the series of photographs that forms his latest monograph. King, Queen, Knave is an idiosyncratic vision of a city amidst its contradictions, defying familiar narratives of post-industrial decline and embracing an enigmatic strain of reality verging on surrealism. Halpern's mesmerising sequence unfurls as a stage across which distinct and unpredictable characters appear in and amongst solitary buildings, snowdrifts, and sun-bleached scenes of everyday transcendence.

In I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours, photographers and longtime partners Carolyn Drake and Andres Gonzalez embark on a collaborative journey along the US-Mexico border, creating an imaginative portrait of life in these borderlands. Traversing towns and waterways together they photographed the same subjects from different perspectives, capturing everyday scenes that appear both staged and ad hoc. The resulting series of uncanny image pairings illuminates the serendipity of human connection while confronting the challenges of relating to one another, finding balance, and defying conventional identities.

Tanya Marcus Portent visualizes phenomena that defy the laws of nature by staging fantastical scenes in swamps, rivers, and orchards near the artist's home in the Hudson Valley. Working without digital special effects in all seasons, weathers, and times of day, Tanya Marcuse photographs golden snakes entwined around tree branches, mysterious blue fire and blood-red snow, ice-encased apples, and other "marels" which testify to the presence of the extraordinary within plain sight. Photography often walks a thin line between fact and fiction, or dwells in a realm where the two cannot be distinguished; Marcuse's work embraces this ambiguity, and invites viewers into an expanded sense of the possible, the believable, and even the real.

Carrie Mae Weems's Sea Island Series chronicles and celebrates a group of African American communities in the Sea Islands off South Carolina and Georgia. The members of these communities, descended from West African people of the Gola tribe who were brought to the United States as slaves beginning in the seventeenth century, developed a culture and language known as Gullah, traces of which still persist. Weems' images affirm the enduring links between Gullah and traditional belief systems, specifically folklore concerning spirituality in nature. This book is already out of print.
