Portraits of carnivals, storefronts, subways and other scenes of American life, recently unearthed from the archives of the avant-garde legend Since the 1970s, Catalan artist Antoni Miralda (born 1942) has created avant-garde installations, happenings and performances all over Europe and the US, most famously with his restaurant El Internacional (created with his partner, the chef Montse Guillén), which became a celebrated 1980s New York hot spot, and the FoodCulturaMuseum. Miralda has spent a large part of his career in the US, especially in the 1960s and '70s when he traveled widely across the country and amassed a substantial oeuvre of photographs. This volume compiles these black-and-white images, recently discovered by chance in Miralda's archives. Often comical, sometimes somber, the photographs range from shots of Easter celebrations in Brooklyn to portraits of Louisiana carnivals, scenes from Harlem, the Bronx, Kansas City, Miami, Philadelphia and elsewhere in the US, as well as photographs taken in Europe.

"The British-Ghanaian artist creates compelling character studies of people who don't exist, reflecting her twin talents as a writer and a painter" -Zadie Smith, the New YorkerThis volume gathers around 60 works by British artist and writer Lynette Yiadom-Boakye, internationally celebrated for her paintings of timeless subjects in everyday moments of happiness, comradery and solitude. The publication includes texts by Yiadom-Boakye herself, writer and filmmaker Kodwo Eshun, and curator Lekha Hileman Waitoller.Yiadom-Boakye's lush oils on canvas or coarse linen portray fictitious characters rendered in loose brushwork and set against dramatic backgrounds. The figures are composites drawn from different sources including scrapbooks and drawings. Animals such as birds, foxes, owls and dogs make regular appearances. To look at a Yiadom-Boakye painting is an invitation to slow down and observe, to enter the imaginary visual tales she spins.Born and raised in London by Ghanian parents, Lynette Yiadom-Boakye (born 1977) studied at Central Saint Martin's College of Art and Design and Falmouth College of Arts, and received her MA from the Royal Academy Schools in 2003. Her first solo exhibition was held at Jack Shainman Gallery in 2010. Since then, her work has been exhibited at the Serpentine Gallery in London (2015), the Venice Biennale (2013), the New Museum in New York (2012), the Biennale de Lyon in France (2011), the Studio Museum in Harlem (2008) and many others. Her work has been collected by the Tate, the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Victoria and Albert Museum, and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, among others.

A scrapbook on Baillie's life and career, with stills, ephemera and writings by filmmakers across generationsThis is the first book on the West Coast avant-garde filmmaker Bruce Baillie (1931-2020), famed for the films Mass for the Dakota Sioux (1964), Castro Street (1966) and All My Life (1966) and for his influence on directors such as George Lucas (one of Lucas' charitable foundations helped fund the digital transfer of Baillie's films) and Apichatpong Weerasethakul.

"A project aimed at putting together a particular collection of contemporary art, without any owner, in which the trucks working with the project will be the gigantic backdrops for the artworks. The result is a collection of mobile art that challenges the artist to face scales and requirements that he or she has probably not dealt with before and that transform us into involuntary and fleeting spectators of the works of art"--project website.

The Hilton Brothers are the photographers Christopher Makos and Paul Solberg. Their moniker is derived from the Hilton Sisters, the 1930s Siamese-twin vaudeville stars--and of course from the hotel heiress Hilton sisters of today. Makos is already famed as a portraitist of many of the twentieth century's leading icons, particularly Andy Warhol, Elizabeth Taylor, John Lennon and Man Ray; Solberg is a rising talent who made his name with "The Bloom Book," his 2005 collection of flower photographs. Makos and Solberg's first collaborative monograph as the Hilton Brothers takes the form of a travelogue compiling works made by the duo from 2004 to 2011. "Tyrants and Lederhosen" opens with separate sequences by each of the photographers, which preface their globe-trotting anthropological collaboration as they document and narrate their travels from America to Europe to the Middle East and Asia.

Face Contact alludes to the portrait as communications, to the exteriority of the face portrayed which seeks to connect with the viewer¿s face in pursuit of a transaction of exchanged meanings: The receiver processes the information articulated in the portrait and the same time returns the gaze, projecting his or her own personal decodification onto the face portrayed. Face Contact exhibition show aims to offer a broad and the same time condensed view of the general concept behind PHotoEspaña 2011: "Interfaces. Portrait and Communication".

Art is an imaginative, but also realistic, way to approach and question the world. The Power of the Doubt superposes site-specific installations and works in various new and old media, and somehow rooted in photography as a model on perception. These works embody the need to doubt the mainstream way of seeing, recording and communicating the real world, wich again oscillates between spectacular truths and dramatic fictions. Most of the artist are from regions of China or Eastern Europe, wich have experienced drastic changes from communism to capitalism, or South Asia or Africa, where people continue to negotiate the options of life between a colonial legalcy and present-day gepolitical conflicts. With very diverse interests in artistic and intellectual pursuits, the artists give voice to the collective doubts and desires of their societies. Images of Hamra Abbas, Adel Abdessemed, Du Zhenjun, Thierry Fontaine, Shaun Gladwell, Jiang Zhi, Dinh Q Lê, Wangechi Mutu, Pak Sheung Chuen, Dan Perjovschi, Shahzia Sikander, Nedko & Dimitae Solakov, Sun Xun, Tsang Kin-Wah and Wong Hoy Cheong.

This book based on the personal memories of Juan del Junco, as is most of his work, was published to coincide with the exhibition of the Fifth Pilar Citoler International Photography Prize and the solo show by artist Juan del Junco (Jerez de la Frontera, 1972), winner of the 2009 edition. He is the son of an architect/ornithologist, and if we observe the images that illustrate some of the pages of this monograph, which are from his family album, we see they respond to an interest in analysing reality based on a scientific method. The book unites various series. In El sueño del ornitólogo we begin to reliably confirm the relationships established between that "photograph box" and the Jerez photographer¿s artistic work. Research in the holdings of the Doñana Biological Station provided the material needed to compose an exhaustive inventory of birds based on taxonomic criteria. In turn, Sema D¿Acosta reviews in eight chapters the trajectory of Juan del Junco¿s work from his early series such as De la memoria al artista to what is more recent such as Lugares que encontré en un listado científico, which is still in progress.

Jean Depara (1928-1997) launched his career as the official photographer of celebrated Zairian singer Franco. Prowling bars and clubs, the night owl Depara became the key chronicler of Kinshasa social life in the era when the Rumba and Cha Cha defined the city's rhythm. His photographs show an Africa stripped of its conventional social codes, where hipsters reign supreme.

Luis Gordillo (born 1934) has made colorful paintings and prints that mix figurative and abstract elements since the 1950s. His Matador Artist's Portfolio, produced specifically for the series, is composed of 23 works that collage photography and drawing: photographs are augmented with strips of paper and crayon marks in bright scarlet, tangerine and spearmint.

Between 1903 and 1964, when he laid down his camera for good, Ortiz Echagüe (1886-1980) documented a vanishing, pre-industrial, rural Spain with heroic diligence, traveling thousands of miles to photograph communities and ways of life on the verge of extinction. This volume compiles some of his best-loved series.

Exploring the little-known drawing practice of a late giant of Spanish sculptureJuan Muñoz (1953-2001) was a Spanish artist and self-described "storyteller" who worked primarily as a sculptor. Best known for his unsettling papier-mâché characters that seem to be caught in the middle of an action suspended in time, Muñoz made remarkable and pioneering breaks from the traditional and formal language of sculpture by introducing narrative elements into his work. This is the first overview of Muñoz's little-known work in illustration, featuring his drawings and works on paper held by museum and gallery collections across Europe and the United States. With critical texts and essays to accompany the works, this volume contextualizes the artist's drawing practice both within his larger oeuvre and the influence of 18th- and 19th-century European and Spanish drawing traditions.

The first complete retrospective on the Bay Area New Topographics photographerIn 1975, curator William Jenkins noticed that a slew of American photographers possessed a similar documentarian aesthetic--direct, mostly black-and-white prints of urban landscapes, executed with an ironic, at times, critical eye--and famously dubbed this aesthetic the New Topographics. Bay Area photographer Henry Wessel (1942-2018) was counted among the group's ranks, along with Robert Adams, Bernd and Hilla Becher, Lewis Baltz, Joe Deal, Frank Gohlke, Nicholas Nixon, John Schott and Stephen Shore. Known for his black-and-white images of the American West, Wessel's work closely aligns with Jensen's description. Exploring the territory where nature and culture meet, Wessel spontaneously captured scenes from everyday life, sometimes incorporating touches of deadpan humor in the process. Unlike some of the other New Topographic photographers, however, he still paid considerable attention to form and light--unwilling to fully cede stylized interventions. As he traversed the West, Wessel developed a repertoire of motifs--including shrubbery, parking lots and beachgoers--transmuting banal subjects into a personal poetry.Henry Wessel: Documentary Style and Beyond presents a survey of the photographer's work, compiling a selection of his most representative images. The volume also includes photographs by other great figures of American documentary photography, such as Ed Ruscha, Lee Friedlander and Diane Arbus.
