A prolific writer, photographer, portraitist, and documentarian, Lucia Moholy defies categorization. She was as active in avant-garde circles as she was in the field of information science, advancing an expansive understanding of visual reproduction. While previous publications on Moholy have limited her accomplishments to the five years she spent at the Bauhaus, Lucia Moholy: Exposures presents the full breadth of her writings and photographs for the first time. Extensive essays drawing on new archival discoveries offer insights into her early life in turn-of-the-century Prague, her involvement in the radical social movements of the 1920s in Weimar Germany, her emigration to London, where colleagues and friends included members of the Bloomsbury Group as well as her wartime involvement with microfilm and scientific documentation and her work in the Middle East on behalf of UNESCO. Acknowledging her reception by contemporary artists such as Jan Tichý, the publication demonstrates how Moholy's interdisciplinary approach to photography anticipated the medium's post-analogue present.LUCIA MOHOLYs (1894-1989) photographs in the aesthetics of the New Objectivity continue to shape the international reception of the Bauhaus to this day. After studying art history and philosophy in her native Prague, she worked as an editor before arriving at the Bauhaus with her husband László Moholy-Nagy in 1923. Her bestselling book A Hundred Years of Photography 1839-1939 was highly influential for the recognition of the medium as an art form. In 1959 she settled in Switzerland, where she continued to work as an art critic.

This volume - investigating the work of a particular photographer, in this case, Mathew Brady - comprises a 4000-word essay by an expert in the field, 55 photographs presented chronologically, each with a commentary, and a biography of the featured photographer.

It is hard to define what an art scene actually is. With a sense of irony and plenty of self-confidence, Gregor Guski (*1981 in Olsztyn, Poland) has titled his book "Die Szene" (The Scene), as if there were only one. He is in fact referring to the Düsseldorf art scene, or more precisely, to those artists whose works are currently setting trends and whose personalities have a decisive influence on events in the city. Aside from the big names, graduates of the Düsseldorf Art Academy, and up-and-coming newcomers, Guski presents the Düsseldorf fringe scene in all its variety. His photographs are not documentary, but radically experimental.In close communication with the artists, Guski's photo shoots take place in the protagonists' studios or in environments that shape their art. The photographs become works of art in their own right - flamboyantly decorated theatrical stages in which the sitters are the performers."Die Szene" is an attempt to portray the current artists and trends of the Düsseldorf art scene. Almost 100 artists from all artistic genres are presented.

Without Apology: Portraits of Pride vibrantly captures lives with portraiture and personal narratives to accompany each photograph.

The life and work of the Italian cinematic legend Gina LollobrigidaA symbol of Mediterranean beauty, the incarnation of the diva par excellence of Italian cinema, the witness of Italy's rebirth, but also the photojournalist, the sculptor, the painter: this was Gina Lollobrigida (1927-2023), best known for her roles in The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1956) and Carol Reed's Trapeze (1956), among others.This volume presents the life of this great all-around artist through her extraordinary photographs; the affectionate accounts of Christian De Sica, Carlo Verdone, Gérard Depardieu and Alex Marshall; the critical texts of the curators and editors; and an essay by Fabio Melelli.Lollobrigida possessed an uncommon artistic sensitivity and a great love of life--a vitality that she never lost, an unshakable determination--in addition to her all-consuming passion for art: all important elements in the shaping of her career.Through photos and accounts, this book retraces the life of Lollobrigida and her human and artistic versatility as actor, photographer, sculptor and philanthropist: myriad facets of an amazing existence.

Camo, by photographer Thandiwe Muriu, is the first publication to chronicle the work of this international artist, celebrating the vibrant portraits she creates that combine cultural textiles and beauty ideologies. Muriu takes us on a colorful, reflective journey through her world as a woman living in modern Kenya as she reinterprets contemporary African portraiture. As the sole woman operating in the male-dominated advertising photography industry in Kenya, Thandiwe Muriu has repeatedly confronted questions around the role of women in society, the place of tradition, and her own self-perception. These experiences inspired her personal project of cultural reflection: the Camo series. Camo was the catalyst for her to push new boundaries in her photography, leading her into a deeply personal artistic journey. The compelling, fully saturated photographs in this collection confront issues surrounding identity while seeking to redefine female empowerment through Muriu’s choice of materials. These constructed images are not digital manipulations but physical sets that incorporate African Ankara wax textiles as backdrops and custom-tailored clothing and headdresses. At the forefront of her practice is using textiles to make her subjects disappear and serve as a canvas for reflection on the question of identity and its evolution over time. Muriu also consistently reimagines common objects associated with the daily lives of Kenyans into bold accessories donned by her subjects. These objects range from hairpins to the mosquito-repellent coils she grew up using. In Kenya, an object can have multiple uses beyond its original purpose; as Muriu explains, “When you have little, you transform and reuse it.” Throughout the book, each image is paired with an inspirational African proverb in both English and Swahili, expressing the collected wisdom of generations that continue to inspire. Proverbs such as "With a little seed of imagination, you can grow a field of hope" convey the uplifting spirit of Muriu's work that empowers women, preserves tradition, and celebrates African beauty and culture.  A visually stunning art book and cultural touchstone, Camo is a collectible treasure as the first book to showcase the work of a rising star in the worlds of photography and art.

"With images from the beaches to the Canadian border, this is one of the most beautiful collections of Maine landscapes and portraits ever published."

"In the interstices between film and photography, ad stereotypes and clichés of a Californian paradise, Jack Pierson (born 1960) produces pictures that are deliberately sensual and sentimental. Through a subtle hybridization of genres they raise the central question of autobiographical sincerity as the work's theme and site. By arresting intimate moments, they compose a familiar, private world, happy and nostalgic. By disclosing (or pretending to disclose) something of the artist, they acquire a natural quality that turns them into secret confessions. We are simultaneously in the artist's studio and in the middle of his life, and, I'd be tempted to add, in the idealizing and loving grace of his gaze." --Henry-Claude Cousseau

Sonja Trabandt's project BEFANGEN deals with the personal desire of breaking free from social norms, cultural or social barriers or even evolutionary processes. Strong colors meet surrealistic abstracted metaphors of vague human feelings. There is no stringent storyline, no continuous series. The book's layout shows a flow of subsequent and interwoven images. They create bright disharmonies with neither a question nor an answer. With her intuitive imagery Trabandt invites the viewer into her slightly melancholic wonderland, depicting her very personal idea of freedom.

Cabaret has historically existed on the fringes, populated by those who find themselves, voluntarily or involuntarily, falling outside of conventional society. It pushes the boundaries of gender, politics, identity, power, and social norms. It’s live and unpredictable, bringing together a variety of performances to create a unique, and often never-repeated, entertainment experience. A cabaret show consists of a selection of short performances in a variety of styles and genres, including drag, burlesque, boylesque, circus and sideshow. Shows happen anywhere and everywhere - bar, club, theatre, library, carpark; cabaret’s adaptability and ephemeral nature are what set it apart from the formality and precision of traditional theater.Life as a Cabaret celebrates the vibrancy and diversity of the underground cabaret scene, uplifting and representing those who are typically overlooked. With a focus on Drag Kings, Queens and In-Betweens, Burlesque, Boylesque and Queerlesque, this book showcases this incredibly dynamic and fascinating world for what it really is – glamorous, polished and professional at times, but also intoxicatingly punk, inescapably queer and gloriously messy. It’s a space for experimentation, for pushing and challenging boundaries, for seeking a voice and a platform that’s unavailable in mainstream society, creating a different kind of society, even if it’s just for one night.Life as a Cabaret is not only a cross-section of the drag world, but also a love letter to it. The photographs showcase each performer’s individuality as works of art in and of themselves, immortalizing the beauty and power of these individuals who are determined to stand out from the crowd, embracing the hustle, oddness, contradictions, differences, and most of all, the unstoppable creativity.

Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love were notorious for representing the opposite of “Family Values.” To reframe their notoriety, they consented to a rare photoshoot for Spin magazine with their newborn, Frances Bean. Only 5 images were originally published; the rest of the photoshoot is seen here for the first time."Now the entire family was in bed together, and Hansen remembers how beautiful it was to see everyone in sync. “They just were loving Frances. It was really so apparent,” she said. “It was really about her. They were oblivious to us in a lot of cases, anytime they had the baby.”' -- Guzman Interview in CNN "Three decades later, Hansen and Peacock are revisiting this fabled shoot for the first time in their new book, Family Values (powerHouse Books), an intimate chronicle of a young couple driven by passion and love that eschewed the trappings of fame and celebrity for truth and art. Through Guzman’s portraits, we see the last of a fading breed: the true rock star who spoke for outsiders, misfits and radicals who wanted nothing more than to live by their own rules." -- AnOtherWith an ineffable ability to connect with people through his music, Kurt Cobain was charismatic and full of pathos, something of a lost boy poet struggling against his personal demons while holding the world in thrall. And yet in the midst of his struggles with success, fame, fortune, drugs, and the wounds of a traumatic childhood, he managed in his brief adulthood to get married to Courtney Love—who of course had her own accomplishments as an electrifying and unrestrained lead singer and lyricist. The couple had already emerged as a cultural touchstone when their baby, Frances Bean, was born in 1992. Photographers Guzman captured, amidst toys and pajamas, the sweetness, humor, irony and the simple happiness of a new mom and dad at home with their baby girl. Family Values is a photography book presenting approximately 90 images featuring Kurt, Courtney, and their baby Frances, one morning in their modest Hollywood home selected from a photoshoot that Guzman did for Spin magazine in 1992. Only five photographs from the shoot were published in the magazine at the time, including the cover. Another appeared in Rolling Stone at the time of Kurt Cobain’s death. In Spin, the photos originally accompanied an interview by Jonathan Poneman, which Guzman plans to license to reprint in the book. The book will also include a memoir of the photo shoot written by Guzman and an introduction by curator and music journalist Michael Azerrad. Family Values is a photographic assignment that revealed two famous rock stars who during one brief moment transcended the magnifying glass of fame and were revealed, amidst all the chaos, as being just a mom and dad

A visual celebration of natural Black hair that highlights the powerful connection between mothers and their children during their wash day rituals. “A beautiful love letter to natural hair and the rituals Black women have created.”—Roxane GayIn this stunning book, documentary photographer Tomesha Faxio explores the power of “wash day,” a day that Black women dedicate to washing, detangling, conditioning, and styling their natural hair. The significance of wash day goes far beyond hair care—it’s an opportunity for Black women to pour love into their curly, coily locks and, when they have children, pass on this sacred ritual to the next generation. Wash Day celebrates the unique bonds between Black mothers and their children through intimate photographs of their hair-care routines and insightful stories that detail their natural hair journeys. Faxio brings you into the homes of twenty-six different families, illustrating the many ways that these mothers have used wash day to instill love, acceptance, and confidence in their children about wearing their natural hair. Through hours spent with their children, typically at the kitchen sink, each of these mothers is resisting generations of hair discrimination by creating a space for empowerment, all while finding their own sense of self-acceptance along the way. Capturing the inherent beauty and diversity of natural hair, Wash Day is a visual homage to Black culture, Black rituals, and the generational bonds that strengthen the Black community.

Das weibliche Bein ist ein erotisches Phänomen. Es ist kein Geschlechtsteil, es ähnelt seinem männlichen Gegenstück fast aufs Haar - warum sollte man es also sexualisieren? Und doch wurden quer durch fast alle Zeiten und Kulturen Frauenbeine bedeckt, versteckt und derart tabuisiert, dass sie sich in Objekte intensiver sexueller Obsession verwandelten. Unter Königin Viktoria war in der feinen britischen Gesellschaft schon das Wort "leg" (Bein) verpönt, da man befürchtete, allein sein Klang könne Männern vor Lust die Besinnung rauben. Und sogar heute, 100 Jahre nach der Enthüllung der Frauenbeine, üben sie noch immer eine starke erotische Anziehungskraft aus. Im dritten Band ihrer sensationell erfolgreichen Reihe über erotische Körperteile geht Dian Hanson der Frage nach, wie das Bein allmählich - von der Französischen bis zur sexuellen Revolution - zum zentralen Thema der Frauenbewegung wurde. Über 400 Fotos dokumentieren die ersten burlesken "Beinshows" des frühen 19. Jahrhunderts, die wilden Seidenstrumpfträgerinnen der 1920er, die Nylonmanie der 1940er, den punktierten Auftritt des Pfennigabsatzes in den 1950ern und schließlich das Goldene Zeitalter der Leg Magazines in den 1960ern. Der Beinliebhaber wird beglückt erfahren, wer als Erste hochhackige Schuhe trug, wie Nylonstrümpfe zu Kriegsgerät wurden, warum Betty Grable Millionen-Dollar-Beine hatte, wie bei Elmer Batters alles anfing und was eigentlich Füße so anziehend macht - all das illustriert durch Vintage-Fotografien von Altmeistern der Beinkunst wie Irving Klaw , Peter Gowland , Bunny Yeager , Batters und anderen.
