Summary:
Un'opera che raccoglie e cataloga tutti i libri fotografici di Gabriele Basilico, coprendo un'attività quasi trentennale, dal 1978 al 2006. Ogni libro è presentato con la copertina originale, i dati bibliografici e una foto tratta dal volume. Pagina dopo pagina, foto dopo foto, salta all'occhio la ricchezza e la varietà dei soggetti scelti da Basilico per i suoi scatti: dalle periferie milanesi della fine degli anni Settanta, alle balere emiliane, alle industrie e ai porti, fino ad arrivare al centro di Beirut nei primi anni Novanta e alla nuova anima di Berlino. Questo libro si pone come uno strumento utile a studiosi ma anche a semplici appassionati di grande fotografia ed è un'occasione speciale per fare il punto sulla carriera di un fotografo che con i suoi scatti ha costruito la nostra percezione del paesaggio contemporaneo.

Summary:
A precarious balance between the human and natural worlds comes to the fore in Scott McFarland's large-scale photographs of meticulously maintained private gardens. These gorgeous yet exacting images reveal the precarious balance between human and natural worlds and how photography’s link to reality is both true and fabricated.

Summary:
John Gutmann (1905–1998) was one of America’s most distinctive photographers. Born in Germany where he trained as an artist and art teacher, he fled the Nazis in 1933 and settled in San Francisco, reinventing himself as a photo-reporter. Gutmann captured images of American culture, celebrating signs of a vibrant democracy, however imperfect. His own status as an outsider—a Jew in Germany, a naturalized citizen in the United States—informed his focus on individuals from the Asian-American, African-American, and gay communities, as well as his photography in India, Burma, and China during World War II. This book acknowledges Gutmann’s place in the history of photography. Drawing on his archive of photographs and papers at the Center for Creative Photography, it presents both unfamiliar works and little-known contexts for his imagery, linking his photography to his passionate interest in painting and filmmaking, his collections of non-Western art and artifacts, and his pedagogy.

Summary:
No longer the Motor City of boom-time industry, the city of Detroit has fallen into an incredible state of dilapidation since the decline of the American auto industry after the Second World War. Today, whole sections of the city resemble a war zone, its once-spectacular architectural grandeur reduced to vacant ruins. In Detroit Disassembled, photographer Andrew Moore records a territory in which the ordinary flow of time-or the forward march of the assembly line-appears to have been thrown spectacularly into reverse.

Summary:
Entre 1960 et 1970, le monde de l'art délaisse massivement les galeries et les musées pour envahir avec enthousiasme et candeur les espaces publics. On explore en ces lieux de nouvelles formes d'expression artistique?: la création collective, l'improvisation, les installations multimédias. De cette effer-vescence est né un nouveau genre artistique?: l'environnement participatif. Cette pratique développe et revendique un art créé par et pour tous et toutes. Interactif, multidisciplinaire, ouvert sur le monde, ce genre artistique est soutenu par un idéal?: l'ouvre d'art total. Au Québec, l'artiste Maurice Demers, dont les créations collectives ont marqué les esprits à la fin des années 1960, incarne à -merveille cette quête à la fois culturelle, sociale et esthétique. Dans ce premier essai consacré au travail de Maurice Demers, l'auteur nous fait découvrir les ouvres de l'artiste et, du même souffle, évoque les grands enjeux de l'époque?: la syndicalisation, le féminisme, la critique de la société de consommation, l'identité collective québécoise, etc.

Summary:
Davos is known worldwide as one of the most beautiful and exclusive skiing resorts in the world—and as the site of the annual World Economic Forum’s summit of global leaders. This unexpected look at Davos comes via the lens of Joël Tettamanti, a rising star in Swiss art circles. As the accompanying essay by curator Walter Keller explains, Tettamanti’s work presents the resort as an open-ended location whose meanings aren’t—despite its fame—in any way predetermined. Instead, he asks the viewer to experience the city in its totality, paying attention to the landscape, climate, people, dreams, and debris alike.
