During this period of foment arose a band of arty nihilists with a mission that had little to do with politics yet everything to do with clever posturing and hobnobbing with the art-hungry power elite. Andy Warhol was the leader of the pack, and his den was The Factory. Warhol’s cohort included Gerard Malanga, Ingrid Superstar, Edie Sedgewick, Julie Garfield, Sussana Campbell, and Benedetta Barzini, as well as members of the punk group The Velvet Underground—Lou Reed, John Cale, and Sterling Morrison. Warhol diverted attention from the political struggle and directed it toward a sullen narcissism aligned with fashion. Fink happened upon Warhol and his followers through a magazine assignment for the literary journal The East Side Review. Warhol and his acolytes spent three days with Fink, who photographed them in various locations. The pictures were not published, though, and they sat untouched in Fink’s archive for five decades. Warhol: The Moment Within presents for the first Text by Kevin Moore time a full selection of the photographs made over that 24.8 x 29.8 cm | 9 ¾ x 11 ¾ inches three-day period, along with additional unpublished works 128 pages, 80 b&w, hardbound ISBN 978-88-6208-515-1 from Fink's extensive archive, offering additional insight $50 | £38 into the political climate of 1960s New York.

His long career in editorial photography has resulted in portfolios for publications such as The New Yorker and Vanity Fair.

New Titles 9 Photography Jamel Shabazz Sights in the City: New York Photographs During the summer of 1980, under the direction of his father, a photographer, Jamel Shabazz armed himself with a Canon AE1 SLR camera and passionately photographed the urban landscape that he called home. New York City—the city that never sleeps—was the ideal epicenter to photograph because of its 24-hour subway system and the many businesses that are open late into the night. New York’s energy inspired him to use the streets as a canvas for the majority of his work for over 35 years. Photographing in the streets put Shabazz in the heart of all of the action— he carried his camera everywhere, always set and at the 30.5 x 24.1 cm | 12 x 9 ½ inches ready. Like a fisherman seeking a fruitful catch, Shabazz 160 pages, 120 color and b&w, hardbound ventured into locations full of life and uncertainty in hopes ISBN 978-88-6208-522-9 $50 | £38 of capturing a unique moment.

Sights in the City is a testament to Shabazz’s visual journey, contianing 120 color and black-and-white photographs, most of which have never been published. His images are both intimate and provocative in nature, each having its own DNA. Jamel Shabazz is a documentary, fashion, and street photographer. Since first picking up a camera nearly 40 years ago, he has authored seven monographs and exhibited worldwide. His work is in the permanent collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C.; and the Bronx Museum, New York.

New Titles 13 Photography Ricky Adam Belfast Punk. Warzone Centre 1997—2003 The Warzone Collective began in 1984 in Belfast, Northern Ireland, when a few local punks decided to consolidate their efforts and find their own venue, practice, and social space. In 1986, the Collective opened Giros, its first premises in Belfast, which contained a vegetarian cafe, practice space, and screen printing facilities. It soon became a focal point for anarchists and punks. In 1991 the Collective moved Giros to a larger and more ambitious venue, the spot where all of the photographs in this book were taken. Over the years, thousands of people passed through Giros’ doors. A strong D.I.Y. ethic defined the way gigs and events were organized. It didn’t have an alcohol license, and it was was an all ages venue. The Warzone Centre, or The Centre as it was called by some, became the countercultural hub for the greater Belfast area and beyond. Bands from all over the world played there, and it was famous for being one of the best in Europe for D.I.Y. punk. The photographs in this book were taken between 1997 and 2003. Toward the end of 2003, the Centre closed, leaving a huge gap in radical 25.5 x 30 cm | 10 x 11 ¾ inches Belfast culture.
