Contra la creencia general, Pierre Bordieu nos indica que la fotografía corriente, practicada por los sectores populares, tiene muy poco de actividad improvisada o espontánea. Nada hay, afirma, que este mas sometido a reglas y que resulte mas convencional. Que estas normas esten generalmente poco articuladas, que permanezcan la mayor parte de las veces en un estado implicito, inconsciente o semiconsciente, no quiere decir que no existan o que no rijan los comportamientos. Esta es la principal aportacion de Un arte medio, donde, a traves de una inversion de perspectiva, Bordieu hace asomar todo el trasfondo social de actos tan supuestamente intranscendentes como tomar fotografias.

There are only two notable differences between toys for little boys and toys for grown-up boys: the toys get bigger with ageand more expensive. Matchbox cars give way to high-end sports cars, model boats become motorboats and sailing yachts, and the plastic wristwatch turns into a Swiss chronograph with a perpetual calendar and minute repeater. The Toys for Men series has always stayed abreast of this male drive to play; in the latest volume, we present the ultimate wish list, a selection of the most exclusive, most innovative, and most luxurious toys that men with money can buy. Of course, the list includes the classic male fantasies of Lear jets, mega- yachts, and super sports carsthe truly giant and great things that move men in the air, on water, or on land. But it also includes the little gadgetsfrom headphones and wristwatches to SLR camerasthat make tech-loving men's hearts beat a little faster. We also include the vices that speak to connoisseurs, like that special bottle of French wine, Scottish whiskey, or Cuban cigars. And last but not least, we include one of the greatest luxuries of all: having a product tailored to you and you alone, bespoke-style. But we're not just talking about custom- tailored suits. Cars, golf clubs, skis, nearly everything today can be customized to suit your particular tastes. If you're searching for the ultimate toys for the gentleman who has everything, you'll hit pay dirt here. Because as philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche already knew, "There is a child hidden in every man: and it wants to play

Bernd and Hilla Becher''s photography can be considered conceptual art, typological study, and topological documentation. Their work can be linked to the Neue Sachlichkeit movement of the 1920s and to such masters of German photography as Karl Blossfeldt, August Sander, and Albert Renger-Patzsch. Their photographs of industrial structures, taken over the course of forty years, are the most important body of work in independent objective photography. A keynote of their contributions to "industrial archaeology" has been their creation of typologies of different types of buildings; this book, which accompanies a major retrospective exhibition, collects all known Becher studies of industrial building types and presents them as a visual encyclopedia. Each chapter is devoted to a different structure--water towers, coal bunkers, winding towers, breakers (ore, coal, and stone), lime kilns, grain elevators, blast furnaces, steel mills, and factory facades. These are organized according to typologies, most of which are presented as tableaux or suites of about twelve images each. The book contains close to 2000 individual images. The accompanying text by Armin Zweite is an essential art historical consideration of the Bechers'' work. This ultimate Becher book stands as a capstone to the Bechers'' unique body of work.
