These primordial substances, which make possible all life on earth, are the subject of Hiroshi Sugimoto’s Seascapes series. For over thirty years, Sugimoto has traveled the world photograph- ing its seas, producing a body of work that is an extended medita- tion on the passage of time and the natural history of the earth. Sugimoto has called photography the “fossilization of time,” and the Seascapes photographs simultaneously capture a discrete mo- ment in time but also evoke a feeling of timelessness. This volume, the second in a series of books on Sugimoto’s art, presents the com- plete series of over 200 Seascapes, some of which have never before been reproduced. All are identical in format, with the horizon line precisely bifurcating each image, though at times the sea and sky almost merge into one seamless unit. Each photograph captures a moment when the sea is placid, almost flat. Within this strict format, however, he has created a limitless array of portraits of his subjects. An essay by Munesuke Mita, Professor of Sociology at the University of Tokyo, examines contemporary art through a socio- logical lens, comparing the recent history of art with mathematical predictions of population growth. He connects Sugimoto’s body of work to this unique analysis of the art world. ] hiroshi sugimoto series Seascapes is the second in a series of books on this artist's work, published by Damiani in col- laboration with Matsumoto Editions. photography The first in the series,Dioramas , was published in Fall 2014.

Composed of photo- graphs from five series—Meteorites, Dioramas, Pre Photographic Time Recording Devices, Lightning Fields, and Seascapes—the se- quence of images in this book conjures a natural history of the planet, perhaps even one untouched by humans. The black-and- white photographs are hand-tipped onto the pages of the book, which is wrapped in silk cloth. Celebrated author Jonathan Saf- ran Foer has written an original story for this book. Foer’s text sits on the page underneath each artwork, so the reader must lift up each photograph in order to read the story. The Long Never is limited to an edition of three hundred and sixty copies. It is housed in a custom-made brushed aluminum slipcase. Each book contains a colophon with the number of the edition signed by Sugimoto. Born in Tokyo in 1948, Sugimoto left Japan in 1970 after graduat- ing from Rikkyo University with a degree in economics. He trave- led throughout the Soviet Union and Europe and then moved to Los Angeles, where he studied photography at the Art Center College of Design. His work has been exhibited internationally in group and solo shows, and he was the recipient of the Has- selblad Foundation International Award in Photography in 2001 and the Mainichi Art Prize in 1988. He currently lives in New York and Tokyo. ] photography ============= Hiroshi Sugimoto Hiroshi Sugimoto: The Long Never Story by Jonathan Safran Foer 26,6 x 35,5 cm 10,5 x 14 inches Pgs. 140 ill. 65 Clothbound + aluminium slipcase English Release date Fall 2015 Rights world Usd 750.00 Gbp 500.00 Eur 680.00 ISBN > 978-88-6208-384-3 8 [ new titles ] [ fall 2015 ] 9 toiletpaper volume II maurizio cattelan | pierpaolo ferrari American and European book rankings over the last few months have already prepared us for what is undoubtedly next autumn’s most hotly anticipated art book.

The content is presented transversely through a subdivision in ten macro-themes which highlight the “Tumblr ante litteram” nature of the magazine. Twenty-five years of images and texts are shaken and served using ingredients from different issues. The idea is to tell the story of COLORS by using its own words, in a visionary journey through time, between irony and semiotics, rereading the analysis of the world carried out by the magazine, acknowledging its high research value. In this book: • BANG! | weapons, violence, lust, shock • I WANT TO BELIEVE | everything relating to Sunday, faith, cults, national sport, what we worship • PLACES | places, countries, cities, and the rooms where things happen • THAT’S AMORE | heart, physical love, the good despite everything • DRINKING BUDDIES | portraits of people with stories to tell, human cases, superheroes • ELVIS | fame, excess, degeneration, disguise, kitsch • WHERE THE HELL IS MY TAIL? | the animal world, with hair, tails and everything else, missing links included • COLORS IS THE NEW BLACK | the essence of COLORS through the use of colors, all the colors of its themes • FUTURE IS TEN MINUTES AWAY | the future, predictions about the future and how we get ready for it • A tribute to COLORS # 13 ends the volume: it is the issue where Tibor Kalman narrated without the use of words. ] contemporary art ============= COLORS.

Schlesinger’s remarkable journey began in 1966 when as an 18 year old stu- dent at UCLA he met the artist David Hockney. The two moved to London, where Schlesinger was introduced to the city's fash- ionable bohemian society. There, as well as on trips, Schlesinger met and photographed some of the great personalities of the day, including Cecil Beaton, Paloma Picasso, Grace Coddington, Tina Chow, Christopher Isherwood, and Manolo Blahnik – to name just a few. This beautifully produced book presents an overview of 30 years of photographic work from Schlesinger’s archives. In addition to intimate portraits, the book includes Schlesinger’s evocative still lives, which convey the romance, humor, and elegance of their time. This is the first monograph to present the full range of Schlesinger’s photographic work. Peter Schlesinger was born and raised in California. His sculptures and paintings have been exhibited widely and are in the collec- tions of the Parrish Art Museum, The Farnsworth Museum, and Manchester Gallery of Art, England. He currently resides in New York City with his partner, the photographer Eric Boman. ] photography ============= Peter Schlesinger Peter Schlesinger 24,8 x 28,6 cm 9,76 x 11,26 inches Pgs. 176 ill. 150 Clothbound English Release date Fall 2015 Rights world Usd 50.00 Gbp 35.00 Eur 45.00 ISBN > 978-88-6208-436-9 14 [ new titles ] [ fall 2015 ] 15 lipstick flavor. a contemporary art story with photography edited by jérôme sans and marla hamburg kennedy Lipstick Flavor, edited by Jérôme Sans and Marla Hamburg Ken- nedy draws a Lipstick panorama within the world of contempo- rary art photography.
