  • New and Best-Selling Titles 2015 ‘Reel Art Press Is a Publishing Cult’ ESQUIRE MAGAZINE CONTENTS
    New and Best-Selling Titles 2015 ‘Reel Art Press is a publishing cult’ ESQUIRE MAGAZINE CONTENTS Introduction 7 Autumn / Winter 2015 8 Backlist 25 Limited Editions 35 Contact Information 58 One of the greatest pleasures for me when working with artists or their estates is that tantalizing moment, the spark, when a single image, or contact sheet, or long forgotten box of negatives or battered prints promises something special. Diving into the depths of an archive to explore an artist’s brilliance and talent. Our 2015 titles have all given me that unquantifiable moment of excitement when I was certain that something very special could be brought to press and I could not be happier with the resulting editions. My first window into the work of British Magnum photographer David Hurn was in my days as a vintage movie poster dealer, through his work as the special photographer for From Russia With Love and Barbarella. His shots of the stars were the very best of their kind, capturing the icons of the era in all their sixties glamour and cool. Hurn’s photograph of Sean Connery, for example, with his tux and gun in From Russia With Love is one of the most celebrated Bond images of all time, more synonymous with 007 than any other shot. When I began to look more closely at Hurn’s work from the period, one of the things that actually intrigued me most was his non-celebrity work. Hurn is so much more than just another sixties A-list photographer. As Peter Doggett comments in his introduction, “Unlike most of his peers, Hurn delved beyond the fatal attractions of Swinging London and its global counterparts, to pursue his greatest subject: ordinary people pursuing ordinary passions.

  • TPG Exhibition List
    Exhibition History 1971 - present The following list is a record of exhibitions held at The Photographers' Gallery, London since its opening in January 1971. Exhibitions and a selection of other activities and events organised by the Print Sales, the Education Department and the Digital Programme (including the Media Wall) are listed. Please note: The archive collection is continually being catalogued and new material is discovered. This list will be updated intermittently to reflect this. It is for this reason that some exhibitions have more detail than others. Exhibitions listed as archival may contain uncredited worKs and artists. With this in mind, please be aware of the following when using the list for research purposes: – Foyer exhibitions were usually mounted last minute, and therefore there are no complete records of these brief exhibitions, where records exist they have been included in this list – The Bookstall Gallery was a small space in the bookshop, it went on to become the Print Room, and is also listed as Print Room Sales – VideoSpin was a brief series of worKs by video artists exhibited in the bookshop beginning in December 1999 – Gaps in exhibitions coincide with building and development worKs – Where beginning and end dates are the same, the exact dates have yet to be confirmed as the information is not currently available For complete accuracy, information should be verified against primary source documents in the Archive at the Photographers' Gallery.

Teachers are strongly encouraged to adapt activities included in this guide to meet the specific needs of the grades they teach and their students. Activities developed for this guide support Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), Ocean Literacy Principles, National Geography Standards and Common Core Language Arts (see page 27 for a standards alignment chart). An extraordinary journey into the mysterious world of one of nature’s most awe-inspiring marine mammals, Humpback Whales takes audiences to Alaska, Hawaii and the remote islands of Tonga for an immersive look at how these whales communicate, sing, feed, play and take care of their young. Captured for the first time with IMAX® 3D cameras, and found in every ocean on earth, humpbacks were nearly driven to extinction 50 years ago, but today are making a steady recovery. Join a team of researchers as they unlock the secrets of the humpback and find out what makes humpbacks the most acrobatic of all whales, why they sing their haunting songs, and why these 55-foot, 50-ton animals migrate up to 10,000 miles round-trip every year.
