Summary:
Born in Amsterdam in 1957, Ari Marcopoulos came to New York in 1979 and quickly became part of a downtown art scene that included Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring and Robert Mapplethorpe. Since then, Marcopoulos has become recognized as a leading documentarian of contemporary culture, having chronicled the emerging hip hop scene, shot snowboarders in action and revealed the vicissitudes of his family life. Marcopoulos always appears to have forged a strong connection with the people he photographs, whether celebrated figures—from Andy Warhol to Kiki Smith, John Cage to LL Cool J—or more obscure personalities, so that he captures, without sentimentality or voyeurism, the intimate sensation of their daily lives. His images are particular to a time and place, but reach out to us via familiar themes such as family and the longing for adventure. The first retrospective on Marcopoulos, Within Arm's Reach collects work from three decades, and is supplemented with an essay by Stephanie Cannizzo.

Summary:
For three years, Caleb Cain Marcus has been photographing what Robert Frank calls, in his haiku-esque preface to this volume, “the light of night.” The black-and-white photographs collected in this monograph explore the silent and haunting experience of walking alone after dark on the streets of New York City. Caleb Cain Marcus savors the strange solitude that follows the familiar crowded confinement of the city's daylight life; amid vacated construction sites, empty pews in churches, parking lots and subway tunnels, an eerily placid beauty resounds, consuming spaces that were once filled with bustle and chaos. As each shot marks the passing of another night, the collection accumulates a quiet, consistent resonance. Cain Marcus' work urges the viewer to slow down, to look at and breathe in the mute magic of night-time New York. "The Silent Aftermath of Space" is presented in large format, allowing viewers to submerge themselves in its mood. Exposed from direct light sources, these images are grainy and enigmatic nocturnal gems.

Summary:
Pursuing the Bernd and Hilla Becher tradition of photo-typologies—he was a student of the Bechers—Bernard Fuchs follows his Autos monograph with this catalogue of roads and.paths. These routes all lead somewhere, perhaps away from civilization, but, as Fuchs makes plain, are certainly civilizing entities themselves, the artificial medium by which nature is found.

Summary:
Danish photographer Henrik Saxgren (born 1953) finds everyday art in the least likely places, as the title of his series Unintended Sculptures indicates. Rummaging outdoors, Saxgren discovers sculptural forms and optical illusions one would swear had been deliberately installed, at the very moment that they reveal themselves in the framework of their environments.

Summary:
Over a period of twenty years, the artist Barbara Heé has photographed Lake Silser and Chaviolas Island again and again. The resulting panoramas present a subtle portrait of this mountainous landscape in Switzerlands Upper Engadine valley. The depth and composition of these black-and-white photographs are captivating. The doubling caused by reflection in the lake and the everchanging lighting create spaces of magical presence. Precise observation of similar motifs opens up a world of sculptural forms that goes beyond the mere likeness. This volume of photographs presents, in the sense of an artists book, the complete series of photographs taken between 1987 and 2007, and which have been incorporated into Barbara Heé’s artistic work as a sculpter, painter, and draftswoman.

Summary:
The Fiction of Science is a collection of work by the Berlin-based photographer Frank Hülsbömer, whose dynamic depictions of immobile objects exist at the intersection of aesthetic abstraction and conceptual content. Whether sketchily visualized thoughts or meticulously staged motifs, the featured series evolves from the interplay of installations, colors, clusters, and geometrical compositions and often resemble computer renderings. Frank Hülsbömer, who has made a name for himself with contributions to magazines such as Wallpaper and has exhibited internationally since the mid-1990s, examines light, anatomical refractions and the construction of space and surface. Reminiscent of the Russian constructivism of the 1920s and the abstract photography of Moholy-Nagy, his photographs indicate the recent rediscovery of abstraction and geometrical work in contemporary art. The accompanying texts in the book illuminate the theoretical background and artistic approach of a photographic aesthetic that, despite its minimalistic strength and quasi-scientific precision, shines with exceptional depth and creates an outstanding poetic visuality.
