Robert Mapplethorpe´s influence as an artist has grown steadily since his untimely death in 1989. Recently, over a period of seven years, seven extraordinary contemporary artists-David Hockney, Vik Muniz, Catherine Opie, Sterling Ruby, Cindy Sherman, Hedi Slimane, and Robert Wilson-each in turn reviewed Mapplethorpe´s entire body of work to select those that personally resonated. The result was the groundbreaking series of exhibitions documented in this book, which also features intensive interviews conducted by Richard Flood, noted curator of the New Museum of Contemporary Art (New York). This beautiful and compelling presentation offers bold new insights into Mapplethorpe´s genius and his lasting impact on contemporary art.

A celebrated return of Robert Frank s seminal photobook The Americans to Aperture s catalog one of the most important bodies of photographic work ever made In the nearly seven decades since its publication in France in 1958 and in the United States in 1959 Robert Frank s The Americans has become one of the most influential and enduring works of American photography Through eighty three photographs taken across the country Frank unveiled an America that had gone previously unacknowledged confronting its people with an underbelly of racial inequality corruption and injustice and the stark reality of the American Dream Frank s point of view at once startling and tenacious is imbued with humanity and lyricism painting a poignant and incomparable portrait of the nation at a turning point in history This edition of The Americans is a celebrated return of an iconic title to Aperture s catalog more than a half century after the Aperture and Museum of Modern Art edition was published in 1968 Presented on the centennial of Frank s birth and a major exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art it has been produced following the finest tritone printing from the 2008 edition for which Frank was personally involved in every step of the design and production Frank s exactin

Ephemera captures our curiosity. Through it we get a glimpse into the personalities, personal moments and ponderings, and sentiments of beloved public figures. Presented here are many such glimpses, along with several longer looks, into the life of legendary photographer, Robert Frank. New York to Nova Scotia was originally published in 1986 to accompany a retrospective exhibition organized by the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and has long been out of print. The book is the best source for much of the most absorbing material on the great artist: there are letters from a young Robert Frank to his parents telling them of New York, there is a facsimile of his 1954 proposal (considered a landmark document in the history of photography) to the Guggenheim Foundation that started his legendary journey across America, a letter from an Arkansas State policeman who arrested Frank during his trip to produce the photographs in his masterpiece, The Americans, as well with such other items like an account by Jack Kerouac about the trip he made with Robert Frank to Florida. The theme of this account is the now-classic one of a modern artist''s restless peregrinations--travel as a physical and spiritual journey, as search and as self-discovery. The chronology and personal spirit of Frank''s complex career as a photographer and filmmaker are evoked through these previously unpublished letters, pictures, reviews, and essays, as well as through 18 of his classic photographs. Some of the letters are by Frank; others were written by photographers and contemporaries, such as W. Eugene Smith, Louis Faurer, Keith Smith, and Gotthard Schuh, and by legendary curators Hugh Edwards and Robert Delpire. (Frank''s writings reveal his lesser-known side: considerable talent as a literary artist.) Authors of the essays include Walker Evans, Jonas Mekas, Allen Ginsberg, and Robert Coles, as well as the exhibition curators, Philip Brookman and Anne Tucker. New York to Nova Scotia also includes still images from Frank''s films, and pictures of Frank throughout his career. I''m trying to forget easy photo, trying to make something from within.Time moves on and never stops or waits. -Robert Frank Essays by Philip Brookman, Robert Coles, and Anne Wilkes Tucker.

Un beso en el Hôtel de Ville, críos revoltosos, obreros en la fábrica, gente de mundo, anónimos, retratos de Picasso y Tati... A Robert Doisneau (1912-1994) se le conoce sobre todo por sus fotografía

Con una sensibilidad especial tanto para el sufrimiento humano como para los pequeños placeres de la vida, Robert Doisneau es uno de los mayores exponentes de la fotografía humanista que imperó en la decada de 1950. Celebre por sus conmovedores retratos parisinos, Doisneau demostro una habilidad unica para descubrir, e inmortalizar como nadie, personajes carismaticos, escenas divertidas y momentos fugaces de humor y ternura. Supo condensar las emociones y los encuentros de la vida cotidiana aun en los entornos mas humildes.Esta retrospectiva de la carrera fulgurante de Doisneau presenta sus fotografias mas notorias junto a otras menos conocidas, que se recrean en los gestos corrientes de gente corriente en situaciones corrientes. Las citas del fotografo que aparecen en todo el libro permitiran al lector adentrarse en los pensamientos de Doisneau y en sus fotografias, asi como poner voz a la sensibilidad, la calidez y el ingenio que destilan sus imagenes.A traves de sus fotografias, visitaremos el extrarradio de los años de juventud de Doisneau; el mundo de la artesania y la admiracion que sentia por la nobleza de esta actividad, y los estudios de artistas de vanguardia que el fotografo inmortalizo en momentos de reflexion y creatividad. Las numerosas fotografias en color menos conocidas de los barrios remozados de la infancia de Doisneau revelan una vision diferente, mas critica, del maestro de la fotografia.Para confeccionar esta nueva y exhaustiva monografia sobre la vida y la obra de Robert Doisneau, su gran amigo y autor de TASCHEN Jean Claude Gautrand pudo acceder sin restricciones al extenso archivo fotografico del Atelier Robert Doisneau. El prefacio esta escrito por Francine Deroudille y Annette Doisneau, las hijas del fotografo.
