He opens the aperture when a fi lm begins and closes it when it ends. In the resulting images, the screen becomes a luminous white box, its ambient light subtly bringing forward the rich architectural details of these spaces. He began the series by photographing the classic movie palaces built in the 1920s and 30s, their ornate architectural elements a testament to the cultural importance of the burgeoning movie industry. He continued with drive-in theaters. In the last decade, Sugimoto has photographed historic theaters in Europe as well as disused theaters that expose the ravages of Text by Hiroshi Sugimoto time.

Theaters, the third in a series of books on Sugimoto’s ISBN 978-88-6208-477-2 art, presents 130 photographs, 18 of which have never before $60.00 | £40 been published. Hiroshi Sugimoto has defi ned what it means to be a multi- disciplined contemporary artist, blurring the lines between photography, painting, installation, and architecture. Preserving and picturing memory and time is a central theme of Sugimoto’s photography, including the ongoing series Dioramas, Theaters, and Seascapes. His work is held in numerous public collections including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo; The National Gallery, London; The National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo; Smithsonian Institute of Art, Washington, D.C., and Tate, London, among others. New Titles 7 Photography Terence Donovan Portraits This is the fi rst book dedicated to the portraiture of legendary photographer Terence Donovan. Donovan’s interest in portraiture spanned the entirety of his four-decade career. During this time, he worked for major British and international magazines including Vogue, Marie Claire, Harper’s Bazaar and Elle. Donovan undertook numerous private portrait commissions, photographing public fi gures from the worlds of the arts, politics, and business, in addition to members of the British Royal family. Some of his many sitters include Yasser Arafat, Naomi Campbell, Sean Connery, Diana Princess of Wales, Laurence Olivier, and Charlotte Rampling, among many others. Along with his iconic portraits, this book will feature unseen work from Donovan’s archive, never previously published or exhibited. It will also include magazine spreads, contact sheets, and pages from diaries and daybooks—rare ephemera that provide a unique insight into Donovan’s working practice. Text by Philippe Garner 24.5 x 28 cm | 9 ¾ x 11 inches Terence Daniel Donovan (1936–1996) was an English 176 pages, 160 color and b&w, hardbound photographer and fi lm director. Donovan was born in the ISBN 978-88-6208-482-6 $50 | £35 East End of London and took his fi rst photo at the age of 15. The bomb-damaged industrial landscape of his home town became the backdrop of much of his fashion photography, and he set the trend for positioning fashion models in stark and gritty urban environments. Along with David Bailey and Brian Duff y, he captured, and in many ways helped create, the Swinging London of the 1960s: a culture of high fashion and celebrity chic. Donovan also directed some 3,000 television commercials. New Titles 9 Photography Dennis Hopper Polaroids After losing himself in Taos, New Mexico, for 15 years, Dennis Hopper returned to Los Angeles in the mid-1980s. In 1987, Hopper began to use a Polaroid camera to document gang graffi ti. He was particularly drawn to the abstract shapes of overlapping paint that appeared when graffi ti had been covered up or written over, reminding him, he said, “that art is everywhere in every corner that you choose to frame and not just ignore and walk by.” The Polaroids presented for the fi rst time in this book are proof of that. Hopper fi rmly considered himself an “Abstract Expressionist and action painter by nature, and a Duchampian fi nger pointer by choice.” Hopper transformed the instantaneous, disposable nature of Polaroid fi lm into pictures as deliberate and fi nal as images achieved by an artist painting on canvas, and these images represent Text by Aaron Rose 23.5 x 20.3 cm | 9 ¼ x 8 inches the fi rst part of his journey back to the world of photography, 132 pages 120 color, clothbound picking up where he had left off in the 1960s. Aaron Rose— ISBN 978-88-6208-476-5 curator, fi lm director, and the founder of the legendary $45 | £30 Alleged Gallery in New York City—contributes a text, which is informed by his deep connection to the Beautiful Losers generation of artists, including Barry McGee, Mike Mills, Chris Johanson, Ari Marcopoulos, and Ed Templeton. This book is a companion to Drugstore Camera (Damiani, 2015) also edited and designed by Michael Schmelling, which presented Hopper’s personal photographs taken in Taos, New Mexico. Dennis Hopper (1936–2010) was born in Dodge City, Kansas. He fi rst appeared on television in 1954 and quickly became a cult actor, known for fi lms such asRebel Without a Cause (1955), Easy Rider (1969), The American Friend (1977), Apocalypse Now (1979), Blue Velvet (1986) and Hoosiers (1986). In 1988, he directed the critically acclaimed Colors. Hopper was also a prolifi c photographer and published now-classic portraits of celebrities such as Andy Warhol and Martin Luther King, Jr. His works are housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; the Museum of Modern Art, New York; and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, among others. New Titles 11 Toiletpaper Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari Toiletpaper 13 Toiletpaper is an artists’ magazine created and produced by Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari and born out of a shared passion for images. The magazine contains no text. Each picture springs from an idea, often simple, and through a complex orchestration of people it becomes the materialization of the artists’ mental outbursts. Since the fi rst issue, in June 2010, Toiletpaper has created a world that displays ambiguous narratives and a troubling imagination. It combines the vernacular of commercial photography with twisted narrative tableaux and surrealistic imagery. The result is a publication that is itself a work of art which, through its accessible form as a magazine, and through its wide distribution, challenges the limits of the contemporary art economy. Maurizio Cattelan has exhibited internationally in leading institutions and has participated numerous times in the Venice Biennale. He curated the 4th Berlin Biennale with Massimiliano Gioni and Ali Subotnick. He collaborated on 22.5 x 29 cm | 8 ⅞ x 11 ½ inches No Soul for Sale—A Festival of Independents, which took place 40 pages, 22 color, softbound in the Turbine Hall of the Tate Modern in 2010.

Since $16 | £10 retiring from art, after the acclaimed 2011 retrospective at the Guggenheim Museum in New York City, he has committed himself to publishing Toiletpaper magazine. Pierpaolo Ferrari is a fashion and advertising photographer and creative researcher. In 2007 he began a productive contribution with L’Uomo Vogue that off ered him the chance to explore the portrait’s potential and radically change its codes. In 2009, he teamed with Maurizio Cattelan to create Toiletpaper. When Limited edition of 500 copies with Toiletpaper fan ISBN 978-88-6208-501-4 he is not shooting, he can be found surfi ng in Costa Rica. $45 | £35 New Titles 1 3 Fashion & Lifestyle Alexi Lubomirski Diverse Beauty Fashion photographer Alexi Lubomirski was inspired to create this book, which represents diverse beauty without boundaries, after photographing the actress Lupita Nyong’o. Lubomirski was so impressed by Nyong’o’s natural beauty that he felt she didn’t need studio lighting because she radiated light from within. After shooting her, it struck him that he rarely had the chance to photograph beautiful women with a range of diff erent “looks” for professional assignments. Often when he submitted a list of models he was interested in shooting, responses would be along the lines of “We love her, but . ”, “Her hair is a problem . ”, “She is too dark.” In response, Lubomirski conceived Diverse Beauty, which celebrates many diff erent types of female beauty through sophisticated and lively fashion photographs. Diverse Beauty embraces all beauty and aims to put every type of beauty on a pedestal, so that everyone who looks at it, no matter her race, size, color, or sexual orientation, can identify and see herself as beautiful. Alexi Lubomirski was born in England to a Peruvian-English Text by Lupita Nyong’o, Alexi Lubomirski mother and a Polish-French father. Lubomirski has become 25 x 34.5 cm (9 ⅞ x 13 ½ inches) an established name within the fashion industry, shooting for 192 pages, 135 color and b&w, hardbound such publications as Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue, Elle, Numéro, W, ISBN 978-88-6208-479-6 $50.00 | £35 GQ, and Allure.

  • Schirn Presse Basquiat Boom for Real En
    BOOM FOR REAL: THE SCHIRN KUNSTHALLE FRANKFURT PRESENTS THE ART OF JEAN-MICHEL BASQUIAT IN GERMANY BASQUIAT BOOM FOR REAL FEBRUARY 16 – MAY 27, 2018 Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960–1988) is acknowledged today as one of the most significant artists of the 20th century. More than 30 years after his last solo exhibition in a public collection in Germany, the Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt is presenting a major survey devoted to this American artist. Featuring more than 100 works, the exhibition is the first to focus on Basquiat’s relationship to music, text, film and television, placing his work within a broader cultural context. In the 1970s and 1980s, Basquiat teamed up with Al Diaz in New York to write graffiti statements across the city under the pseudonym SAMO©. Soon he was collaging baseball cards and postcards and painting on clothing, doors, furniture and on improvised canvases. Basquiat collaborated with many artists of his time, most famously Andy Warhol and Keith Haring. He starred in the film New York Beat with Blondie’s singer Debbie Harry and performed with his experimental band Gray. Basquiat created murals and installations for New York nightclubs like Area and Palladium and in 1983 he produced the hip-hop record Beat Bop with K-Rob and Rammellzee. Having come of age in the Post-Punk underground scene in Lower Manhattan, Basquiat conquered the art world and gained widespread international recognition, becoming the youngest participant in the history of the documenta in 1982. His paintings were hung beside works by Joseph Beuys, Anselm Kiefer, Gerhard Richter and Cy Twombly.

    DOSSIER DE PRESSE PIRELLI : LE CALENDRIER 2017 PRÉSENTÉ À PARIS PAR PETER LINDBERGH Rendez-vous sur www.pirellicalendar.com pour accéder aux contenus exclusifs sur la nouvelle édition de The Cal™ Paris, le 29 novembre 2016 – Le Calendrier Pirelli 2017, réalisé par Peter Lindbergh, grand nom de la photographie sur la scène internationale, a été présenté aujourd’hui à Paris. L’édition 2017 du Calendrier, qui suit celle de 2016 signée Annie Leibovitz, fait du virtuose allemand de la photographie le seul photographe à avoir été invité pour la troisième fois à réaliser le Calendrier Pirelli, après l’édition de 1996, mise en scène dans le désert El Mirage, en Californie, et l’édition 2002, réalisée dans les studios de la Paramount Pictures, à Los Angeles. Sans oublier le cinquantième anniversaire du Calendrier, en 2014, à l’occasion duquel Pirelli fit de nouveau appel à Peter Lindbergh, aux côtés de Patrick Demarchelier. Si l’on tient compte des années de pause dans sa publication, le Calendrier Pirelli, né en 1964, en est cette année à sa quarante-quatrième édition. Le photographe lui-même tient à expliquer le fil conducteur du Calendrier Pirelli 2017: «A une époque où les femmes sont représentées par les médias et partout ailleurs comme des ambassadrices de la perfection et de la beauté, j’ai estimé qu’il était important de rappeler à tous qu’il existe une autre beauté, plus réelle et authentique, non manipulée par la publicité ou autre. Une beauté qui exprime l’individualité, le courage d’être soi-même et la sensibilité».

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.

Yet in this case the photographer is Dennis Hopper and the photographs, remarkably, are never before published. Shot in Taos, New Mexico, where Hopper was based following the production of Easy Rider in the late 60s, the series was tak- en with disposable cameras and developed in drugstore photo labs. This clothbound collection documents Hopper’s friends and family among the ruins and open vistas of the desert land- scape, female nudes in shadowy interiors, road trips to and from his home state of Kansas and impromptu still lifes of discarded objects. These images, capturing iconic individuals, wide-open Western terrain and drug-addled fun, create a captivating view of the 60s and 70s that combines political idealism and opti- mism with California cool. Dennis Hopper(1936–2010) was born in Dodge City, Kansas. He first appeared on television in 1954, and quickly became a cult actor, known for films such asRebel Without a Cause (1955), Easy Rider (1969), The American Friend (1977), Apocalypse Now (1979), Blue Velvet (1986) and Hoosiers (1986). In 1988, he directed the critically acclaimed Colors.

Here Meyerowitz looked at, touched, studied, and connected with the more than 250 objects that Morandi painted. Using only the warm natural light in the room, he photographed Morandi’s objects: vases, shells, pigment-filled bottles, silk flowers, tins, funnels, watering cans. In the photographs, each object sits on Morandi’s table, which still bears the marks the painter drew to set the positions of his subjects. In the background is the paper that the artist left on the wall, now brittle and yellow with age.

  • Präsentation Des Kalenders 2020 “Looking for Juliet” Von Paolo Roversi in Verona
    PRESSEMITTEILUNG PIRELLI: PRÄSENTATION DES KALENDERS 2020 “LOOKING FOR JULIET” VON PAOLO ROVERSI IN VERONA In Kombination mit einem Kurzfilm sucht Paolo Roversi nach dem Wesen der Julia Verona, 3. Dezember 2019 — “Looking for Juliet”, der von Paolo Roversi realisierte Pirelli Kalender für das Jahr 2020, wurde heute im Opernhaus von Verona präsentiert. Paolo Roversi hat sich dabei von William Shakespeares zeitlosem Drama inspirieren lassen. In der 47. Ausgabe des The Cal™ spricht er mit Claire Foy, Mia Goth, Chris Lee, Indya Moore, Rosalía, Stella Roversi, Yara Shahidi, Kristen Stewart und Emma Watson als Protagonistinnen die „Julia, die in jeder Frau lebt“ an. In diesem Jahr verschmilzt der Kalender erstmals Fotografie und Film, da er von einem Kurzfilm begleitet wird. In dem 18-minütigen Kurzfilm spielt Paolo Roversi sich selbst als Filmregisseur und interviewt Kandidatinnen für die Rolle der Julia. Nacheinander treten sie vor die Kamera des Regisseurs, um die facettenreiche Julia durch ein breites Spektrum an Emotionen und Ausdrucksformen darzustellen. Die Story gliedert sich in zwei Abschnitte. Im ersten Abschnitt werden die Darstellerinnen ohne Schminke und ohne Kostüme abgelichtet, während sie das Set betreten. Sie werden aufgenommen, während sie mit Roversi über das Projekt reden, in der Hoffnung, dafür ausgewählt zu werden. Sie sprechen über ihre eigenen Erfahrungen und ihre Vorstellung von Julia. Die Darstellerinnen öffnen sich einer intimen und ganz vertrauten Erzählung. Im zweiten Abschnitt tragen sie die Kostüme der Darstellerinnen in Shakespeares Tragödie. Der Effekt, der erzeugt wird, ist eine Story, in der Wirklichkeit und Fiktion ineinander übergehen, und die Grenzen, wie auf einigen Bildern, verschwimmen. „Ich war auf der Suche nach einer reinen Seele, geprägt von Unschuld, Willensstärke, Schönheit, Zärtlichkeit und Mut.

    www.zerecords.com UNDER THE INFLUENCE / WHITE SPIRIT The 21st century has produced a new generation of young contenders of all kinds, who have, within months, spread a new string of names across the planet such as The Rapture, Playgroup, LCD Sound system, Liars, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Radio 4 and the likes, just to name a few. Once again the heat was initiated in NYC, even though its Lower East Side epicenter « cleaned up » by Giuliani and Bloomberg, has moved a few blocks east and across the river to Brooklyn and Williamsburg. It might be wise to remind the younger ones among us that the origins of this new musical cycle is for the most part rooted in the NO WAVE movement of which James Siegfried aka James White, aka James Chance is undoubtedly one of its most prominent figures. New York City was hands down the artistic telluric center of the second half of the 20th century, especially from the 70’s, on. Rising from the ashes of the Velvet Un- derground, a slew of local bands redefined the aesthetics of rock’n’roll which the merchants of the temple hastened to rename under various designations, such as Punk, New Wave, No Wave, Jazz-Funk or even Disco and Disco- Punk without forgetting to mention the original Electro designation pioneered by the band Suicide. One of the indispensable and emblematic figures of the mid-70’s is of course James Chance. James Siegfried, born in Milwaukee in 1953, began his musical journey on the piano at the age of seven.
