From the moment it opened in 1977, Studio 54 celebrated spectacle and promised a never-ending parade of anything goes. Although it existed for only three years, it served as a catalyst that brought together some of the most famous, creative, and strangest people in the world. It quickly became known for its all-ages celebrity guest list and its uniquely chic clientele of superstars and freaks of all races and sexual preferences who would often show up half-dressed or in costume.
From the cutting-edge lighting displays and sound system to its elaborate sets that would change on a whim, altering the environment and ambiance, it was the beginning of nightclub as performance art.
On the heels of Walter Isaacson's beloved new biography (Fall 2017), and increased media attention (as 2019 marks the 500th anniversary of the artist's death), this book's appeal will extend beyond the devoted and numerous members of Leonardo's audience to reach a popular one.
The most comprehensive collection of Leonardo da Vinci's drawings provides an intimate look at the mind and hand of the genius.
Curated and edited by the artist Ina Otzko, 100 Norwegian Photographers is a magnificent volume of photos from today’s Norwegian photography scene.
Otzko gives one hundred contemporary photographers from her country the space to show their best images, including renowned figures such as Dag Alveng, Jonas Bendiksen, Knut Bry, Morten Krogvold, Annemor Larsen, Crispin Gurholt and Mikkel McAlinden. With several double pages for each photographer, the book is a vivid archive of Norwegian photography, uniting the most diverse genres, from landscapes to portraits, experimental photography to snapshots. It provides an extensive overview of the mysterious country in the north, the land of glaciers and fjords, showing it in brilliant facets—witty, absurd, poetic, political, special.
This is an accurate summation of the life of the British photographer (1815-1879), who took up the camera at age forty-eight and made more than a thousand images over the next fourteen years.
Living at the height of the Victorian era, Cameron was anything but conventional, experimenting with the relatively new medium of photography, promoting her art through exhibitions and sales, and pursuing the eminent men of her time as subjects for her lens.
A thematic exploration of Picasso's work in the 1910s and 1920s | Includes previously unpublished material from the archives of the Fundacion Almine y Bernard Ruiz-Picasso para el Arte (FABA) | An exhibition catalogue with 200 works and 80 archival images.
In light of a large selection of previously unpublished personal archives - documents, photographs and films - this title explores Picasso's 'Olga period' by contextualizing his work during this period and by questioning the contrast between the subject and its portrayal. A favorite model since their meeting in 1917, Olga Khokhlova, a Russian ballet dancer who married Picasso in July 1918, is the most represented female figure in the artist's work of the late 1910s and 1920s. Picasso renders the ambiguity of his first wife, her beauty, her Ingres-like contours, and her deep, pensive, melancholy, in many of his most famous portraits.
The exhibition that this book accompanies brings to light materials conserved by Olga's family until recently, including memorabilia of her life as a dancer, photos of Picasso, their son Paul, and their daily life together, and their travels to Barcelona, Naples, and Monte Carlo.

As beautiful as it is informative, this book features all of the excitement and splendor of one of the most prolific and important chapters in the history of European art.
Fashion photographer Arthur Elgort has loved jazz since he was nine years old, when a childhood friend introduced him to the music; he soon found himself frequenting jazz clubs all over his native New York City.
The dynamic style that made Elgort such a sensation in fashion photography was directly informed by his love for jazz and dance. His talent as a photographer grew alongside his interest and knowledge of jazz. By the time he was a well-known working photographer, Elgort could parlay his influence into meetings with his boyhood idols, requesting to have his favorite musicians appear in both his fashion and personal work.
Countless jazz greats have appeared in front of Elgort's camera, including Illinois Jacquet, Dexter Gordon and Dorothy Donegan. Each sitting produced not only images but memorable stories: the time Elgort took Dorothy shopping at Chanel; what it was like to shoot Dexter in his Hell's Kitchen apartment; getting to know Illinois and his wife personally. Arthur Elgort: Jazz collects these moments and more, exploring for the first time the creative exchange between the photographer and his musical heroes.
A spectacular retrospective of the profoundly influential photographer Rankin s extraordinary thirty-year career on the cutting edge of fashion and pop culture.

After losing himself in Taos, New Mexico, for 15 years, Dennis Hopper returned to Los Angeles in the mid-1980s. In 1987, Hopper began to use a Polaroid camera to document gang graffiti. He was particularly drawn to the abstract shapes of overlapping paint that appeared when graffiti had been covered up or written over, reminding him, he said, “that art is everywhere in every corner that you choose to frame and not just ignore and walk by.” The Polaroids presented for the first time in this book are proof of that. Hopper firmly considered himself an “Abstract Expressionist and action painter by nature, and a Duchampian finger pointer by choice.” Hopper transformed the instantaneous, disposable nature of Polaroid film into pictures as deliberate and final as images achieved by an artist painting on canvas, and these images represent the first part of his journey back to the world of photography, picking up where he had left off in the 1960s.
Aaron Rose— curator, film director, and the founder of the legendary Alleged Gallery in New York City—contributes a text, which is informed by his deep connection to the Beautiful Losers generation of artists, including Barry McGee, Mike Mills, Chris Johanson, Ari Marcopoulos, and Ed Templeton.
This book is a companion to Drugstore Camera (Damiani, 2015) also edited and designed by Michael Schmelling, which presented Hopper’s personal photographs taken in Taos, New Mexico.
Witness the rise of New York City through dozens of historic and contemporary aerial photographs that chart the city’s ever-changing skyline. From the ground, New York City can feel like a chaotic jumble of traffic, pedestrians, one-way streets, parks, and buildings of every shape and size. But above the city, away from the cacophony and the commotion, New York can be tranquil and awe-inspiring.
The city that never sleeps also never stops changing, which is why this phenomenal collection of historic maps and aerial photos is a fascinating way to explore New York’s evolution. The book opens with maps of 17th-century Manhattan, a quiet settlement with a ragged shoreline. A series of chronological illustrations show the city’s northward expansion, the establishment of its grid system, and the creation of Central Park. The next three chapters include aerial photographs that chart the city’s unbelievable expansion in every direction, including skyward.
As buildings rise, as the shoreline expands with ports and landfills, and as more sophisticated photographic techniques allow for breathtaking views of New York’s unmistakable skyline, this lush, oversized book captures a city that is truly alive. Author Peter Skinner’s commentaries on the photographs and maps will guide readers through what is certain to become a treasured book for all who love New York.
Unique Comic Book! Rembrandt as you have never seen him before in an absolute masterpiece by the Dutch illustrator and cartoonist Typex. For three years Typex lived with Rembrandt, obsessively, day after day, from dawn until deep into the night.
The result is a visually overwhelming graphic novel, in which Typex brings 'his' genius Rembrandt to life: petulant, vain, arrogant, crass, touchy, but also endearing, disarming and sometimes pathetic. This award-winning book is a virtuoso masterpiece to take up again and again.
An evocative celebration of the men of gypsy flamenco culture, from one of contemporary photography's most gifted artists.
Known for his edgy photographs, Ruven Afanador amazes again with another collection of images that will seduce and delight. Following up on Mil Besos - which focused on the women of flamenco - Afanador turns his powerful vision to the men of flamenco, with startling results.
Photographed in Andalusian Spain, these unique images present a universe inhabited by gypsies, musicians, and most of all the male flamenco dancers, full of beauty and bravado. Captured in arranged poses or in mid-dance, the dancers embody the wild, youthful passion inherent in the musical world of flamenco. As likely to be in gorgeous costumes as in the nude, these men exude gritty glamour, innate classicism, and a singularly charged eroticism.
Combining the surreal glamour of fashion with documentary photography, these striking black-and-white images will appeal to both the fashion crowd as well as the serious art photography audience.

Dr hab. Katarzyna Kajdanek, prof. UWr, interesuje się procesami ruchliwości mieszkaniowej i zróżnicowanymi, współwystępującymi przejawami urbanizacji, konsekwentnie ujmując je w ramy pojęć socjologicznych. W swojej pracy korzysta z podejść i metod jakościowych, zarówno na etapie zbierania, jak i analizy danych. Język jest istotnym narzędziem jej pracy, bo jak podkreśla w książce: ,,teksty akademickie rzadko kiedy są piękne i czułe", co często odbiera im siłę oddziaływania poza akademią. Powrotnicy podsumowują kolejny etap namysłu Autorki nad procesami suburbanizacji oraz stanowią wprowadzenie do problematyki selektywnej reurbanizacji analizowanej z wykorzystaniem koncepcji przebiegu życia (life course perspective). Najciekawsze, co może zaoferować współczesna socjologia miasta, to wgląd w codzienność miejskiego doświadczenia, naukowe spojrzenie na zmieniające się trajektorie przebiegu życia. Monografia Katarzyny Kajdanek daje nam możliwość dotknięcia osobistego przeżycia zjawisk, które mają swoje uogólnione, społeczne fundamenty. Autorka prezentuje w książce różnorodne wymiary ocen życia na przedmieściach, prowadzące do ich opuszczenia (praktyk rodzinnych, mobilności, dostępu edukacji, możliwości realizacji stylu życia, konsekwencji starzenia się, zanieczyszczenia środowiska). Jest to praca ważna w szerszym polu studiów miejskich, pokazująca, w jakim sensie stadia rozwoju regionów miejskich ,,dzieją się" w intymnych, codziennych sytuacjach i praktykach. Sposób prezentacji wywiadów (a wiele z nich przytaczanych jest w obszernych fragmentach) zbliża się w sposobie opisywania świata do literatury pięknej, ale bez utraty reżimu metody naukowej. dr hab. Maciej Kowalewski, prof. US Ze względu na prowadzoną przez Autorkę narrację, zróżnicowany, zarówno styl wypowiedzi, jak i rodzaj zebranego w książce materiału, potencjalnie może być ona zaadresowana do szerokiego grona odbiorców, tak do środowiska naukowego, osób studiujących na różnych kierunkach (od socjologii po kierunki inżynieryjne), miejskich aktywistów, decydentów i planistów, jak również do każdej innej osoby, która stoi przed wyborem miejsca zamieszkania lub planuje jego zmianę. dr hab. Marcjanna Nóżka, prof. UJ
Reprint z wydania 1974 r. Biorąc pod uwagę zainteresowania i potrzeby polskiego odbiorcy zwrócono w niniejszym komentarzu nie tyle na kontrowersje i uczone dyskusje o problemach wprawdzie podstawowych, ale poza specjalistami mało kogo interesujących, ile raczej na treść wypowiedzi zawarych w natchnionym tekście, tak jak katoliccy egzegeci rozumieją. Położono przy tym szczególny nacisk na teologiczne aspekty tej Ewangelii. One bowiem stanowiły bodziec do jej głoszenia, dla nich zredagowano ją na piśmie, dla nich też się teraz nią interesujemy.
