Summary:
Milan Sklenar Photographs brings together for the first time over 100 photographs by this Czech-American artist, whose work was previously unpublished and virtually unknown. Drawing on the social documentary currents of photography in the mid-20th century, Sklenar's work transcends the fascination with the "decisive moment" which figures so prominently in the work of his contemporaries. Here, we discover the work of an artist whose unique talent resides in his ability to connect the purely momentary to the broader continuum of shared experience. This book also includes a biographical introduction by the New York writer Rosemary Mahoney and an insightful essay by the young English critic Chris Morgan.

Summary:
The more than two hundred striking duotone plates in Hilla and Bernd Becher's Industrial Facades continue the famous Düsseldorf photographers' formal investigation of industrial structures, in this case the frontal elevations of factory buildings. Like the Bechers' earlier books on water towers, blast furnaces, and gas tanks, Industrial Facades once again clearly displays their serenely cool, rigorous approach to the structures they photograph as vaariations on an ideal form. The Bechers make no attempt to analyze or explain their subjects. Captions contain only the barest of information: time and place
