Imágenes de la expectoración: retratos verdaderamente increíbles de la “celebridad” .

Fotógrafo Mexicano. Obra que se expone en la sala de exposiciones de "El Águila"

El año 1968 fue un año pródigo en acontecimientos sociales de gran calado y trascendencia. La invasión de Praga por el ejército soviético fue, sin duda, uno de los más importantes. Josef Koudelka fue un testigo directo de esa invasion y pudo registrar, a traves de su experta mirada, toda la secuencia de unos sucesos que han pasado a la posteridad y que ahora podemos contemplar, en un intencionado estilo retro, a traves de esta obra.

Premio Daniel Gil. Mejor colección del año. La originalidad de sus derivas fotográficas reside en que los estímulos que guían sus pasos siempre son de carne y hueso. Tanto del fotógrafo como de sus personajes podriamos decir que su patria es la calle.

Who took 1970's porn esthetic and made it fashion chic? Terry Richardson. Who made the trailer park trendy and the tractor hat de rigueur? Richardson again. Who's equally at home in Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Purple and Vice? Our boy Terry. Who uses his fashion money to fund an X-rated website? Yes, Richardson. And who can't resist getting his clothes off and jumping in front of his own lens? Well, that would be Terry Richardson as well. Porn stars, supermodels, transsexuals, hillbillies, friends, pets, and celebrities all do for his lens what they'll do for no other. And if anyone ever wonders why they did it, just blame it on Terryworld, where taboos are null and void, and fashion finds sex a perfect fit.

Luis Ramón Marín, uno de los primeros fotógrafos que salieron a la calle con la cámara para retratar la actualidad y las noticias desde los primeros años del siglo XX hasta el final de la Guerra Civil, es rescatado por la Fundacion Telefonica en la exposicion "MARIN. Fotografia 1908-1940". Cerca de 18.000 negativos, en su mayoria de cristal, han sobrevivido ocultos para el gran publico hasta ahora, a pesar de que su autor, Marin, "reune todos los requisitos del nuevo profesional que habia de revolucionar la prensa escrita", escribe el presidente de la Fundacion Pablo Iglesias, Alfonso Guerra, en la introduccion del catalogo de la exposicion. Luis Ramon Marin (1884-1944), desde su estudio en la madrileña calle de Santo Domingo, salio a la calle a fotografiar la actualidad del momento y llego a publicar en prensa cerca de 1.000 imagenes. Las placas de cristal -los negativos de entonces-, que no utilizo, las guardo en su casa junto a anotaciones y pies de fotos que dan idea de su personalidad de periodista. Su viuda, Eduarda Pla, fue la persona que guardo el legado de su marido "en un altillo de la cocina" durante el franquismo, y mas tarde, en la Transicion, su hija Lucia y sus nietos depositaron este tesoro en la Fundacion Pablo Iglesias,

Critically praised for his finely modeled and classically composed photographs, Mapplethorpe remains intensely controversial and enormously popular. Revealing the themes that would inspire Mapplethorpe throughout his career, this book brings together almost three hundred images, many never published, from the Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation's archive and private collections, to provide a critical view of Mapplethorpe's formative years as an artist. Included is a selection of his colour Polaroids and objects incorporating his early instant photographs. Some images convey a disarming tenderness (...)

A SELECTION OF INSPIRING AND MEDITATIVE PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE LANDSCAPE AND PEOPLE OF INDIA, NEPAL, AFRICA AND THE MIDDLE EAST.

Fifty years of slightly slutty behavior Back in 1974, the sexual revolution was in full swing and the adult entertainment business was on the verge of becoming Big Business. Deep Throat had created America's first porn star in 1972, but by 1974 Linda Lovelace was already retired and the industry was seeking the next big thing. Vanessa del Rio should have been that thing, except in 1974 there were no ethnic sex stars. Undeterred, Vanessa took any role they d give her, because, amazingly, she was there for the sex more than the money. Fans, awed by her ferocious onscreen sexuality, made her a top box office draw and America's first Latina star. Retired since 1986, Vanessa del Rio remains a sexual icon who cuts across all ethnic boundaries. What her fans dont know is that her real life was, and is, as wild as anything she did on film. In this sumptuous over-sized volume, TASCHEN celebrates a remarkably candid, confident and exuberantly sexual woman. Presented through Vanessa's own archive, in her own words, is a life at once shocking, titillating, amusing, and inspiring. And because paper and ink cant do justice to a personality this big, an original 140 minute DVD documentary is included. If you arent already convinced, this book will end all doubt that there could ever be another woman like Vanessa del Rio. Vanessa del Rio is limited to a total of 1,500 numbered copies, each signed by Vanessa ? 1,300 copies in the Art Edition 200 copies in the Collector's Edition, with a signed watercolor lithograph of Vanessa by acclaimed artist Robert Crumb Bonus for one lucky reader: one of the 1,500 copies contains a Golden Ticket good for an all-expenses paid evening with Vanessa, to bedocumented by a world famous photographer!!

A highly influential body of work, mostly unpublished, by a photographer who helped establish colour photography as a legitimate medium of artistic expression A chronological sequence of photographs of vernacular America taken in the early 1970s that have been widely exhibited and discussed in Europe and the US A photo-diary of Shore''s experience crossing America that bridges the gap between the road trip tradition of Walker Evans and Robert Frank and the fascination with the ordinary of Bernd and Hilla Becher and Martin Parr A must-have for everyone interested in the history of twentieth-century photography In 1972, Stephen Shore left New York City and set out with a friend to Amarillo, Texas. He didn''t drive, so his first view of America was framed by the passenger''s window frame. He was taken aback by the fact that his experience of life as a New Yorker had very little in common with the character and aspirations of Middle America. Later that year he set out again, this time on his own, with just a driver''s licence and a Rollei 35 - a point-and-shoot camera - to explore the country through the eyes of an everyday tourist. The project was entitled American Surfaces, in reference to the superficial nature of his brief encounters with places and people, and the underlying character of the images that he hoped to capture. Shore photographed relentlessly and returned to New York triumphant, with hundreds of rolls of film spilling from his bags. In order to remain faithful to the conceptual foundations of the project, he followed the lead of most tourists of the time and sent his film to be developed and printed in Kodak''s labs in New Jersey. The result was hundreds and hundreds of exquisitely composed colour pictures, that became the benchmark for documenting our fast-living, consumer-orientated world. The corpus of his work - following on from Walker Evans'' and Robert Frank''s epic experiences of crossing America - influenced photographers such as Martin Parr and Bernd & Hilla Becher, who in turn introduced a new generation of students to Shore''s work.
