› Find signed collectible books: 'The Best of Helmut Newton'Book summary:Helmut Newtons best photographic work from the 1960s to the 1990s traveled around Europe in a major retrospective in 1993. The catalogue of that show has now run to a 4th edition. It contains all the icons of Newtons special fields of interest including fashion, nudes, portraits as well as works for which he became world famous the sensational fashion photos for the British magazine Vogue, Liz Taylor with a parrot in a swimming pool, Helmut Berger naked at his fireplace, Helmut Kohl with a German oak, Salvador Dali on an IV drip, the "Big Nudes" and some of his later macabre wax figures& Newton was a genius for not being blinded by the glamour and the masquerade of pretence that were prevalent in the world in which he lived. On the contrary, he illuminated and exposed that world with bright lights and displayed it in brilliant photographs which contain much more than they show. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Chic Clicks'Book summary:Nan Goldin shoots campaigns for Prada, David LaChapelle does Camel cigarette ads, and Jurgen Teller got his start photographing models in i-d, w, and The Face. The debate between aesthetic images and commercial pressure has perhaps never been so relevant and complex as it is today, with the increasing commercialization of the art world, the not insignificant exploratory aspects of fashion photography, and our constantly expanding realm of visual references. To study these tensions and overlaps, Chic Clicks invited some 40 photographers to present both their free work and their published editorials from fashion magazines and advertising campaigns. Photographers well-known for their commercial work offer personal and exploratory prints; those who gained prominence in the fine arts display work they were subsequently hired to do for fashion companies and magazines. Accompanying essays approach fashion photography from various perspectives, from that of cutting-edge fashion magazines to the field of contemporary art photography. [via]

The Ecstasy Of Things: From Functional Object To Fetish In 20th Century Photographyby Thomas Seelig, Urs StahelISBN 3865210856 (3-86521-085-6)

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Ecstasy Of Things: From Functional Object To Fetish In 20th Century Photography'Book summary:The twentieth century was--among all else--a century of things. From the handmade object to the mass produced, these things that once served a purpose soon became harbingers of beauty, modernity and innovation. Beyond the material, these objects have stimulated fantasies that convey an image about a time and a place, so that now even an everyday telephone or radio that has long been discontinued can experience a rebirth as a cult object only to be purchased for lofty sums of money at an auction. The Ecstasy of Things illustrates how product photography reflects the world of things as captured in varying lights for designers, manufacturers and advertising agencies. Collected here are nearly 500 photographs--many of which were unearthed from company and agency archives worldwide on behalf of the Fotomuseum Winterthur and the Swiss Photography Foundation. This book most impressively demonstrates how the emotional and symbolic content of an object was represented through the changing tastes and aesthetics throughout the twentieth century. At the same time, the collection is a wealth of forms, a colorful compendium of design and a photographic history of the past century as illustrated through our possessions. [via]

Trade : Commodities, Communication, and Consciousnessby Urs Stahel , Thomas Seelig, Martin JaeggiISBN 3908247470 (3-908247-47-0)

› Find signed collectible books: 'Trade : Commodities, Communication, and Consciousness'Book summary:Whether it's globalization, the New Economy, or young protesters in Seattle, trade is obviously on everyone's mind these days. This book offers a unique and fresh look at the concepts and realities of trade today. Images by photographers from all over the world add up to a fascinating panoramic view of a world shaped by trade: the artifice, glitz, and glamour of shopping, the sprawling metropolises in the East and the West, the lavish displays of power in the headquarters of multinational companies, the inventiveness and the desperation of people in the Third World, global traffic and high-tech communication. All are there in this stimulating, enchanting, and haunting selection of photographs. The striking, and sometimes threatening, images are complemented by a collage of text quotes on trade, ranging from pop culture to philosophy and anthropology. The compilation of texts offers trenchant insights, powerful rants, amusing anecdotes, contradictory at times, but always incisive. Like the images, this collage offers the reader a dizzying array of possible perspectives and thoughts on trade. Instead of purveying a single dogmatic ideology, the book intends to show the astonishingly manifold facets of the phenomenon "trade." "Trade" offers the readers an opportunity to discover playfully their own viewpoint. It combines images and texts to create an entertaining and provocative view of life at the beginning of the millennium.
Featuring: Massimo Vitali, Andreas Gursky, Merry Alpern, Allan Sekula, Thomas Demand, Fischli & Weiss, Todd Eberle, Marc Rader, Boris Mikhailov, Henry Bond, among others.
Edited by Martin Jaeggi, Urs Stahel and Thomas Seelig.

Well, What Is Photography: A Lecture on Photography on the Occasion of the 10th Anniversary of Fotomuseum Winterthurby Paul Graham, William Eggleston, Urs StahelISBN 3908247772 (3-908247-77-2)

› Find signed collectible books: 'Well, What Is Photography: A Lecture on Photography on the Occasion of the 10th Anniversary of Fotomuseum Winterthur'Book summary:In this accessible and eloquent book-length essay, Urs Stahel, writer, curator and co-founder of Fotomuseum Winterthur, muses on the very nature of photography. The introduction outlines the unique tension defining photography--that it shows a segment of the world and simultaneously expresses a subject's particular view of this world. This tension is the source of the medium's unique creative potential and its complex relation to truth. Stahel provides a philosophical perspective on these issues by placing them in an epistemological, social, and historical context. Chapters on industrial photography, staged and conceptual photography, and the current crisis of photojournalism provide a panoramic overview of the possibilities and challenges of photography in all of its variety, from the casual snapshot to art and commercial photography. This profound and readable essay, one of the few daring enough to address the nature of photography, is destined to become a standard work, a must read for anyone interested in thinking about photography. [...] the answer to the question, "What is photography?" is actually quite simple at first sight. Photography is a device to record light, invented in the 19th century, that allows us to fix the perspective perception of the world in the manner constructed since the Renaissance. Optics and chemistry go hand in hand to create a very effective means of perception.~Despite the apparent simplicity of this first definition, there are few comparable cases in which a seemingly clearly and easily delimited field--here's the viewer, there's the world; here's the instrument, there's the image of the world--has created so much confusion. --Urs Stahel~Urs Stahel.
