I did a lot of research about the American grain elevator. It was hard to come up with information that discussed aspects other than dust explosions and engineering. If you want to know about other aspects of the grain elevator, I would recomend this book. It also has great photographs!
I actually saw this exhibition this summer at the Serpentine in London. Needless to say it was fantastic to see his work in person, huge extremely glossy images, as well as a film. I didnt have the money for the monograph, which includes the custom woodblock printed wallpaper he had made ...
Definitivamente todas las fotografías de este libro son extraordinarias. Paollo Pellegrin, miembro de la célebre agencia Magnum, ha hecho otra vez un excelente trabajo. Las imágenes son en ocasiones fuertes, quizás la mayoría de ellas a excepción -lógicamente- de los paisajes; sin embargo, ...

Copies of the classic "New Objective" photo book Angels in Fall , originally published in 2001 and thought to be out of print, are now available again. In it, vast, rational parking lots loom into focus, the smoggy grid of a Los Angeles neighborhood evaporates into the horizon and a man finds shelter from a rainstorm under an orange plastic sheet in an industrial wasteland The landscapes of the ...

The fifty-one black and white photos in this nicely designed book will not be to everybody's taste. The photos could not be more stark and minimalist, mostly eye level, straight on, images of almost plain walls of commercial premises in Irvine, Los Angeles. The only concession is (photo ...
This first in-depth publication of photographer Tim Davis's work dissects the disenchantment and dissociation that have come to dominate American civil life. It is Davis's treatise on the state of contemporary politics, politics as an aestheticized banality abstracted from real issues of power. He finds freedom of expression exhibited at its most casual and cursory, with political, commercial and ...
More amazing, mostly never before seen photos from one of the master of the humanistic school of photojournalism. Great production from the leading publishing house - Steidl. Worth the price.
+ Another great book + better than sleeping on the mississippi
Saw the exhibition that accompanied this book . Poignant and funny by turns, it was one of the best recent photography exhibitions i have seen .The inclusion of found love letters and the swans made of towels, stopped the collection from just being a collection of expected shots of odd looking ...
From 1994 to 2005, German artist Peter Piller worked a day job at a leading Hamburg ad agency where he was responsible for analyzing and archiving more than 150 regional newspapers. The grinding repetition of this task inspired him to create the Peter Piller Archive, which consists of countless images culled from these newspapers and gathered into 80-some highly subjective categories such as ...
This elegant, boxed set introduces two new works by Thomas Demand, both presented during the 2007 Venice Biennale. The first volume presents "Processo Grottesco," a life-sized paper model of a grotto--complete with stalagmites and stalactites--that was exhibited along with other source materials and Demand's final photographic images. With a section of its pages cut in two, so that one can flip ...
+ A must-have in your photography book collection + Maybe not a CLASSIC, but close
Alec Soth builds on the tradition established by William Eggleston, Stephen Shore and Joel Sternfeld. But Soth dramatically moves beyond these masters by presenting a more eccentric cast of characters, a stronger thematic melody and a more personal insight.
Soth's photographic journey down the ...
This book is not hardcover (although it is not exactly typical softcover either). Instead, it has a flexible, durable plastic cover that seems pretty unique. The book itself is a catalog from the current Robert Frank exhibit at the Tate in London, but Frank himself helped put it together and you ...
