Truth or Consequence   Published by Phaidon    Truth or Consequences, a small Town in New Mexico, acquired its unusual name in 1950 in response to a call from a popular radio quiz show looking for somewhere to host its tenth anniversay broadcast and accompanying fiesta. Photographer artist Nick Waplington, best known for his remarkable Living Room series has been taking photographs in and around the town for eight years. His portrait of small town America shows us the place behind the name, the lives of its people and the landscape they live in, while at the same time constructing a personal tribute to the great American photography.

The Maze   Published by Granta, London 2004    Hardcover   New    For nearly 30 years, the Maze prison, 10 miles outside Belfast, played a unique role in the Northern Ireland Troubles. Built in 1976 to house terrorist prisoners, political segregation was so fierce it led to scenes of violent protests, hunger strikes, mass escapes, and deaths of both inmates and prison staff. At its peak capacity in the 1980s, the Maze housed more than 1,700 prisoners. In September 2000, under the terms of the Good Friday agreement, the prison was closed and the last four inmates were transferred to other prisons in Northern Ireland. Now, a handful of prison officers man the empty complex while the future of the site is debated. The prison's current state of limbo and the unanswered questions regarding its fate seem to reflect Northern Ireland's unsteady progress in grappling with its recent history. Last year, the Northern Ireland Prison Service gave Donovan Wylie exclusive and unprecedented permission to photograph the entire prison complex without supervision. The result is a book which not only documents the physical structure but manages to communicate some experience of the psychological impact of being inside the Maze. With a text by Louise Purbrick, Senior Lecturer in History and Design at Brighton University, and a timeline history of the prison and its prisoners as they relate to the history of the Troubles, this book records and preserves a unique physical structure that has played an important role in our recent history.    Photographs by Donovan Wylie. Essay by Louise Purbrick.  Granta, London, 2004. 112 pp., 60 color illustrations, 11 x 9

Published by Booth-Clibborn Editions     Nick Waplington's fifth photographic book reflects a journey to locations where the aspirations of the young have become stylized by contemporary mass media. Travelling to the  major growth economies  of Sao Paolo, Montevideo and Buenos Aires, as well as to Cuba, Easter island and Australia, Waplington finds the long shadows of first world capitalism, and captures the transitional existence of everyday life through a Fusion of photography, writing and collected imagery. Like Waplington's other award-winning projects, this book reveals the details to the realities of life lived on the margins. As critic Carlo McCormick writes,  Nick describes the ephemerality of experience in the materialist age; the whole of what's not whole in the fractured continuity of our contemporary schizophrenia. The pictures and accompanying drawings therefore represent the memento mori of a journey that charts a civilization at a moment of cultural collision.... In Nick's work it is the incidental and the monumental that collapse into a hallucinatory afterglow when caught within the boundaries of consumer culture. It is the personal and the social that have become the diametrical oppositions that skewer his insistent gaze.

EVERYDAY THINGS PB (Photographers at Work)

From the street photographs of the 1950s and 1960s to the postmodern imagery of the 1980s, from photography that addressed identity politics in the early 1990s to the new imaging technologies of the last decade, photography has been at the forefront of artistic innovation in America. As this volume demonstrates, its capacity for personal expression, for telling stories, and for documenting facts, makes it a medium of eloquence, relevance, and lasting power.   The Whitney Museum of American Art, which possesses the single most comprehensive collection of twentieth- and twenty-first-century American art, has in recent years concentrated on expanding its photography collection. Representing the work of more than forty artists, this volume of over 160 photographs highlights the Whitney's collection and provides photographic visions made by artists living and working in the United States from 1940 to 2000. Accompanying a major exhibition at the Whitney, this catalogue offers portraits, landscapes, streetscapes, and genre subjects from both emerging and well-known photographers, including Diane Arbus, Harry Callahan, William Eggleston, Lee Friedlander, Nan Goldin, Mary Ellen Mark, Joel Meyerowitz, Cindy Sherman, Joel Sternfeld, Brett Weston, and Garry Winogrand.

Visions from America: Photographs from the Whitney Museum of American Art, 1940-2001 (Photography)

Albert Watson first came to public attention in 1994, with his first book, Cyclops, which has since become a collector's item. He is considered the eminence grise of top photographers, an intellectual loner who neither respects the boundaries of genre, nor is willing to compromise in matters of his own artistic demands. From advertisements for the fashion and cosmetic industry to portraits of celebrities such as Mick Jagger and Andy Warhol, to nudes, still life and landscapes, Watson's range is as impressive as the aesthetic forcefulness and the emotional intensity of his pictures. His curiosity appears to be as inexhaustible as his reputed chameleon-like changeability and the pleasure he takes in permanently inventing new pictures.     --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Art Times, November 2005     A veritable feast for the eye and mind... features stunning underwater photography... lavishly illustrated.   Mesmerizing color, dizzyingly intricate patterns and mind-bending shapes are on display in this unique collection of underwater images by award-winning photographer and documentarian Dos Winkel. Below the surface of the ocean is a world teeming with life, color, and motion. Dos Winkel's photographs introduce readers to an eye-popping experience that blends science and art, biology and design. Fantastically shaped corals take on endless variations from mountains to buildings to perfect spheres. Brightly colored vases and blankets of sponges litter the ocean floor. Tiny fish peer out with hypnotic eyes at the camera while anemones' languid tentacles seem to reach out of the page. Throughout the more than one hundred large-format images in this book, the mystery, beauty and pulsating life of the world's coral reefs is everywhere in evidence. Coupled with an informative text on the ecology of coral reefs, the photographs are an inspiration to anyone searching for colors and patterns in the world around us and a reminder that some of the wonders of the universe lie waiting to be discovered on our own planet.

Signed by the photographer\n\nBoth an artist’s book and comprehensive inquisition of D’Angelo Lovell Williams’s work to date, Contact High offers an expansive engagement with the visualisation of desire and depiction of the Black body. Williams’s narrative images reflect the many forms in which Black queer people exist and have existed historically within each other’s lives, picturing them as sitters, lovers, caregivers, or shadows. Williams’s work is guided by their life experience and an interrogation of their own perspective, as well as wider questions around the representation of race, class, sexuality, gender, and intimacy. The title Contact High references the importance of touch and gesture in Williams‘s work, and alludes to heightened senses and intuitive movement.\n\n\nFrom self-portraits to collaborations with community, Williams’s photographs visualise the Black body in performative scenes that are theatrical, dance-like, and occasionally mundane, pointing towards collective histories and Black ancestral practices. At the heart of these intimate, dialogic images are notions of kinship and spirituality interweaved with quietly political and radical gestures. Williams’s unfaltering gaze insists on visibility and deference, and creates scenes in which Black and queer voices are the authority. The dynamics that play out between families, cultures, friends, lovers, ancestors and descendants are visualised as a spectrum of care, tenderness, and vulnerability, speaking to the nuances of our complex lives often overlooked by historical depictions.\n\n \nOTA bound paperback\n23 x 27.8 cm, 104 pages\n\nISBN 978-1-913620-62-2

Signed by the Photographer\n\nThis limited edition artist’s book brings together digital collages and manipulated photographs by painter James White based on the celebrated and hugely influential series Evidence by Mike Mandel and Larry Sultan. In Evidence, Sultan and Mandel drew on the archives of more than a hundred US government agencies, finding surreal narrative suggestions in deadpan images that were intended as functional documents, upending and interrogating the documentary natures they espoused. The book has been a continual reference for the grayscale photographic paintings for which James White has become known. In this volume, White pays tribute to Sultan and Mandel’s project by further undermining the evidentiary nature of the photographic medium through a process of intervention and painterly gesture which disrupts and reconstitutes the images’ mercurial surfaces.\n\n\nPublished as a limited edition of 1000 signed copies.\n\n\nSilkscreened hardcover\nPrinted with metallic ink\n24 x 32cm, 104 pages\n\nISBN 978-1-913620-68-4\nJuly 2022

Francesca Woodman made her first mature photographs at the age of thirteen and went on to create a body of work that has been critically acclaimed for its singularity of style and innovative approach to photography. Despite her lifetime accomplishments – which included solo and group exhibitions and the publication of one of her books – and her work being celebrated widely in the years since her untimely death in 1981, very little has been published about her remarkable series of artist’s books until now.\n\n\nFrancesca Woodman: The Artist’s Books collects for the first time every page of all eight of Francesca Woodman’s unique artist’s books in one comprehensive volume, including two newly discovered books which have never been seen before, alongside better-known titles such as Some Disordered Interior Geometries. The basis of these works is in tattered nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century journals and notebooks that Woodman collected from bookshops and flea markets in Rome in the late 1970s. She later transformed these found volumes, attaching her prints, transparencies, and written annotations to their evocative pages. These books demonstrate a sophisticated relationship to narrative and sequence and offer a new understanding of the scope of Woodman’s engagement with the book form.\n\nEmbossed hardcover using Japanese paper, with tipped-in image\n24.5 x 30 cm, 416 pages\n\nISBN 978-1-913620-88-2
