Photographer, painter, sculptor, Lucas Samaras is one of the most influential and provocative artists of our time. Once again available to readers, this long out-of-print volume presents a thorough compilation of Samara''s photographic work, beginning with his earliest "Auto-Polaroids." This exhaustive body of work paved the way for a generation of contemporary photo-artists, expanding the expressive possibilities of the medium. Using Polaroid materials, large--sometimes life-sized--formats, manipulated imagery, and composites, Samaras helped forge a vocabulary employed by artists and photographers throughout the eighties. In his most profound achievement, he adopted one of photography''s basic genres--portraiture--and used it as a basis for an inquiry into the self, which remains unmatched in its intensity and boundless in its ramifications. Photography critic Ben Lifson provides a trenchant critique and history of Samaras''s work. "Samaras split himself into model, actor, director, audience, and critic," Lifson writes. "To each of these roles he brought a skilled artist''s hand an an eye deeply informed by the historical traditions and motifs of art and by the vernacular and popular traditions of photography. He became a rare figure in American art, not an artist who occasionally uses photography for tactical reasons . . . but an artist who made photography central to his aesthetic campaign."

First published by Aperture in 1988, At Twelve: Portraits of Young Women is a contemporary classic by one of photographys most renowned photographers. To mark the books thirtieth anniversary, Aperture is reoriginating it in a masterful facsimile edition that retains the purity of the original. At Twelve is Sally Manns revealing, collective portrait of twelve-year-old girls on the verge of adulthood. To be young and female in America is a time of tremendous excitement and social possibilities; it is a trying time as well, caught between childhood and adulthood, when the difference is not entirely understood. As Ann Beattie writes in her perceptive introduction, These girls still exist in an innocent world in which a pose is only a posewhat adults make of that pose may be the issue. The consequences of this misunderstanding can be real: destitution, abuse, unwanted pregnancy. The young women in Manns unflinching, large-format photographs, however, are not victims. They return the viewers gaze with a disturbing equanimity. Poet Jonathan Williams writes, Sally Manns girls are the ones who do the hard looking in At Twelvebe up to it!This reissue of At Twelve has been printed using new scans and separations from Manns prints, which were taken with an 8-by-10-inch view camera, rendering them with a freshness and sumptuousness true to the original edition.

En tiempos nebulosos y lejanos cuando la fotografía apenas balbuceaba, la sal de plata conseguía el milagro de la imagen capturada. la obra que tiene entre sus manos desvela como otrora nuevas luces, aquellas que en secreto guarda el alma. y entonces se suceden, lentamente, sombras, claridades, contraluces, una forma de mirar, el sentimiento, destellos que subyacen muy profundo. que emergen deseosos de un encuentro.

Nomura es conocida, sobre todo, por sus fotografías en blanco y negro de desnudos masculinos. Estos se alternan con otras imágenes que incluyen animales, paisajes, vistas de calles y carreteras vacías, bosques, plantas y flores, fuegos artificiales, olas del mar, puertas, ventanas y pasillos, cielos estrellados, nubes y tormentas conformando narrativas interrumpidas que nos remiten a ficciones cinematográficas. El catálogo incluye la selección competa de las imágenes de la exposición que se celebra en Madrid en febrero de 2025, así como los ensayos de los autores mencionados.
