Lewis Baltz (b.1945) was one of the first to use the medium of photography as a form of conceptual art. He helped transform its status, turning it not only into a collector’s art but also a museum art. He came to prominence in the mid-1970s as one of a group of artists included in the influential exhibition "The new topographics". His ‘non-judgmental’, matter-of-fact images, which are often architecturally-oriented, have a broad intellectual framework and draw attention to larger social and architectural patterns.

John Divola Continuity
$35.00
(available to order)
Summary:
The creation of seamless illusion remains a driving tenet of Hollywood cinema. In order to preserve this illusion, it is crucial that there are no jarring disruptions of cinematic space and time. This preservation of order is called continuity, and it has been the focus of John Divola's photographic work for the past several years, as beautifully represented in this(...)

Summary:
The creation of seamless illusion remains a driving tenet of Hollywood cinema. In order to preserve this illusion, it is crucial that there are no jarring disruptions of cinematic space and time. This preservation of order is called continuity, and it has been the focus of John Divola's photographic work for the past several years, as beautifully represented in this striking book. Divola takes the original still photographs he has collected of Warner Bros. film sets from the 1930s, which were used to maintain continuity, and creates haunting installations of fictive reality. Divided into subject categories such as "Hallways" and "Broken Furniture and Evidence of Aggression," these images possess a glorious beauty, made possible by the use of 8 x 10 negatives, while being grounded in an intelligence found in the best of conceptual art. Features an elucidating essay by the noted film writer and critic Edward Dimendberg.

Summary:
In addition to an overview of Shulman's career and photographic oeuvre, this book emphasizes Shulman's method of 'constructing' photographic views. These constructions, which complemented his innate ability to compose striking photographs, often transcend reality to capture the spirit, time, and place of a work of architecture.

Summary:
In addition to an overview of Shulman's career and photographic oeuvre, this book emphasizes Shulman's method of 'constructing' photographic views. These constructions, which complemented his innate ability to compose striking photographs, often transcend reality to capture the spirit, time, and place of a work of architecture. An analysis of architecture's visual presentation examines not only the media of the era, John Entenza's Arts & Architecture, for instance, but also the work of Shulman's photographic contemporaries.

Summary:
Lazar Markovich Lissitzky is widely known as a Russian avant-garde artist who made significant contributions to abstract art in the 1920s. Until now his experiments with photography, photomontage, and graphic and exhibition designs in the 1920s and throughout the 1930s have not been documented and thoroughly analyzed. This book explores both the political and aesthetic aspects of Lissitzky's late multimedia work from his designs for the Abstract Cabinet to his death in 1941. The author and the two contributors give special attention to Lissitzky's intense collaboration first with German and then with Soviet photographers, designers, and filmmakers, and they discuss how his various personal friendships and acquaintances influenced the directions he took in photography and design. The book presents photographic works by Lissitzky and these other artists as well as some of Lissitzky's early non-objective art that foreshadows his experiments in figurative art. It also includes Lissitzky's correspondence with his Western colleagues and his wife Sophie Kueppers. This book will accompany an exhibition of Lissitzky's photographic works at the Sprengel Museum in Hannover, Germany, Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona, and Fondaçao de Serralves, Porto.
