The 2008 Pritzker Prize winner explores his career to date The work of France''s most unique and internationally celebrated contemporary architect in a book designed by the master himself. Limited to 1,000 signed and numbered copies packaged in a translucent plexiglass slipcase especially designed by Jean Nouvel for this edition. Recipient of the 2008 Pritzker Prize, Jean Nouvel is without any doubt Frances most original and important contemporary architect. From 1967 to 1970, he was an assistant of the influential architects Claude Parent and Paul Virilio, then creating his own office in Paris. His first widely acclaimed project was the Institut du Monde Arabe in Paris (198187, with Architecture Studio). Since then he has completed the Lyon Opera House (198693), the Euralille Shopping Center, Lille (199194), and the Fondation Cartier, Paris (199194). His major completed projects since 2000 include the Culture and Convention Center in Lucerne, Switzerland (19982000), the spectacular Agbar Tower on Barcelonas Diagonal Avenue (200103), the extension of the Reina Sofia Museum, (Madrid, 19992005), the Quai Branly Museum on the Seine in Paris (200106), and the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Apart from receiving this years Pritzker Prize, Jean Nouvel won the RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects) Gold Medal in 2001. Jean Nouvel worked for five years with author Philip Jodidio on this prodigiously illustrated TASCHEN monograph, a book that will finally give the full measure of the architects talent. Two 400-page hardcover volumes give the most complete overview to date of Jean Nouvels career, including works in progress, such as the new Louvre in Abu Dhabi, the Philharmonie de Paris, and the extension of the MoMA in New York. The books graphic design and images were conceived and selected by the architect; in addition, the transparent printed dust jackets mimic the architects own tendency to play with contrasts and overlaid patterns. One can truly say that this publication is Nouvel by Nouvel, inside and out.

La extraordinaria carrera del fotógrafo de la Revolución. Alberto Díaz Gutiérrez, para todos Korda, es internacionalmente reconocido como uno de los maestros de la fotografía cubana de la Revolución, cuyas imagenes del Che Guevara y Fidel Castro inspieraron a generaciones de jovenes a lo largo de los años sesenta y setenta. Su fotografia mas famosa es, sin duda, el retrato del Che tomado en 1960 y titulado Guerrillero Heroico, que sin duda se ha convertido en la imagen mas reproducida de la historia de la fotografia.Alberto Korda: Conocido Desconocido es un libro que recorre todas las facetas de la extraordinario carrera de Korda, con especial enfasis en la moda, la Revolucion y otros temas de la sociedad cubana. Desde los primeros trabajos publicitarios a inicio de la decada de los cincuenta, seguimos la entrada de Korda en el mundo de la moda y su pasion por lo que el definio como "una estetica de la belleza", que percibio no solo en las sensuales curvas femeninas, sino ademas en el particular paisaje cubano y en el esplendor de los revolucionarios cubanos.

The highly anticipated first body of work in colour by Eugene Richards (b.1944), one of Americas greatest living social documentary photographers.A moving, eloquent and highly personal work on the abandoned and forgotten houses of the American West that brings together themes that encompass all of Richards work and address what he describes as the transient nature of things Richards contemplative, beautiful photographs inspire us to imagine the lives of the former occupants and enigmatic images such as a wedding dress hanging in a bedroom, family photographs stuck on a wall, or snow falling on a bed by an open window, are a meditation on memory and loss The latest publication from the author of Phaidons The Fat Baby (2003) and Dorchester Days (2000) is a quiet, yet powerful, statement on the vulnerability of man in the face of shifting economic opportunities and the climate Eugene Richards is best known for his books and photo essays on cancer, drug addiction, poverty, emergency medicine and paediatric HIV.

Masats: Premio Nacional de Fotografía 2004. Masats fue el primer gran reportero de su generación ,el que supo captar con mayor talento la cambiante realidad del país y más dotado para el género reportaje. Masats comienza sacando la fotografia a las calles de pueblos y ciudades de una España franquista, con el proposito de mostrarla libremente, con sus miserias y sus misterios, en contraste con el oscurantismo de la epoca y el esteticismo de las academias de fotografia con las que se encuentra en los años 50. Reportero sin tapujos, intuitivo y libre, Masats vuelve en los años 80 a dedicarse en exclusiva a la fotografia, ahora en color, tras años como realizador de documentales para la televison, siempre en la misma linea tematica.

Callout: My hope is that my work is in some way counter-pinup. A pinup asks you to suspend interest in who the person is and occupy yourself entirely with looking at the body, fantasizing about what you could do with that body, completely ignoring how the person might feel about it. People who make pinup photographs don''t care who the woman is, what tragedies or triumphs that person''s life might encompass. My work hopefully works exactly counter to that. My ambition is that you look at the pictures and realize what complex, fascinating, interesting people every single one of my subjects is. --Jock Sturges, the "Boston Phoenix" Long known for his radiant black-and-white naturist portraiture, Jock Sturges has also been quietly working in color for more than two decades. "Life Time" presents a broad range of this color work for the first time and carries forward Sturges'' extended portraits of families in Northern California counter-culture communities and on French naturist beaches. Working with the same models and their families in his long-term studies of growth, change and relationship, his large format images borrow significantly from classical periods in both photography and nineteenth and early twentieth century painting. The large color plates in "Life Time" represent almost perfect one to one translations of the original transparencies and are rich with detail and physical and psychological nuance. Sturges describes his work as "identity driven" because his portraits represent collaborations that stretch over entire lifetimes. The confident ease with which all of his subjects present themselves to his camera evidences a rare level of trust and friendship.
