Mondadori Electa Naty Abascal: The Eternal Muse Inspiring Fashion
Book SynopsisThe publication presents a handpicked selection of designs by Cristobal Balenciaga, Oscar de la Renta, Eliee Saab, Yves Saint Laurent and Valentino, among others. Abascal has been part of the history of these haute couture masters, not only as a model, but also as a muse, inspiration, and companion of their most significant successes, in daily life and in the pages of fashion magazines. This book marks the occasion of the exhibition Naty Abascal and Fashion! organized by Museo Jumex, Mexico City, from November 7, 2019 to January 5, 2020. Like the exhibition, it aims to evoke the big ateliers or couture studios, whose mirrors have witnessed the evolution of fashion, along with designers and models. Their reflections highlight the unique details of the cut and the proportion of the outfits that contribute to the transformation of the female silhouette, which testifies to contemporary times like any other art form.Trade Review"Naty Abascal: The Eternal Muse offers the reader a rare look at not only the contents of Naty's closets but also of an unerring taste level that does not radiate from one specific point of view. She is always flawlessly turned out whether in the slickest and simplest of tailleurs or the most outrageous feathered and beaded couture pieces. Much of what is seen here might jar the reader's memory in terms of which designer created what and when they came about. Naty was/is a hoarder of sorts but in the most discerning of ways...The collective images are superbly and dramatically styled all by the hand of Naty herself! If her name and fame are unknown to you then this is certainly a great primer demonstrating the making of a fashion icon. Good taste is not learned or taught; it is innate and honed by its possessor. Even an astute and well-read fashionphile will find Naty Abascal: The Eternal Muse enlightening." —NEW YORK JOURNAL OF BOOKS

It also describes the contemporary artwork by Susumu Shingu that occupies the space between the towers.

Osservatorio Fotografico Le Ore
Book SynopsisLe Ore is a project developed in and around the Italian city of Ravenna, in collaboration with the platform Osservatorio Fotografico as part of their ongoing project Dove Viviamo which aims to create a visual archive of the city. Daniel Augschoell walked for weeks in a hybrid landscape, natural and industrial at the same time, creating a new story of the city and its surroundings. An old sign, the night, the fog in the Po Valley, closed factories, new ones arising, the Riviera, pine trees hiding extramarital affairs. A landscape that is both sensual and melancholic. The photographic work is accompanied by Desire, a text written by Anya Jasbar originally conceived for Le Ore.

New Heroes & Pioneers SHARE Lagom: Pocket Editions
Book SynopsisLagom is a uniquely Swedish term that doesn't have an English equivalent (Which I find to be pretty common, the Swedish language has denser words that the English language usually uses two or three words to describe.) Not only does it not translate perfectly but its just a very Swedish idea, or feeling. A popular etymological translation is "around the team" meaning enough food or drink for everyone at the table, this translation is said to go back to Viking times. Lagom is "Just enough," "Not too much or too little," "Just right," "Enough to go around," "Fair share." It indicates balance. Lagom doesn't have the negative connotation of "sufficient" nor does it claim perfection SHARE LAGOM contains 50 inspired artworks carefully selected amongst the best up-and-coming first time published artists. Following the success of SHARE Vol. 1 &2 this third installment combines the winning concept of high quality prints on perforated pages with the trendy theme of Lagom. Each featured artist presents a single piece of work along with companion text in a two page format. The specially designed LAGOM size book is optimized for its intended purpose: every page's perforation encourages readers to pull them as individual works of art. 1 A chance to offer an elegant, modern volume which transforms the pages into high quality art prints ready for hanging. 2 An original way to experience and share the culture and art of Scandinavia, the main inspiration of Lagom, within and beyond the borders of publishing. 3 The first of the SHARE series as a special edition. Half price, smaller, more flexible, but keep the high quality of the content and the paper. 4 Lagom is the new Hugge.

From the playful, to the dark, to the eccentric, each scene is depicted through a lens that captures childhood nostalgia with the hero as an ordinary man.

Amsterdam University Press A History of Photography in Indonesia: From the
Book SynopsisAs a former colonized nation, Indonesia has a unique place in the history of photography. A History of Photography in Indonesia: From the Colonial Era to the Digital Age looks at the development of photography from the beginning and traces its uses in Indonesia from its invention to the present day. The Dutch colonial government first brought the medium to the East Indies in the 1840s and immediately recognized its potential in serving the colonial apparatus. As the country grew and changed, so too did the medium. Photography was not only an essential tool of colonialism, but it also became part of the movement for independence, a voice for reformasi, an agent for advocating democracy, and is now available to anyone with a phone. This book gathers essays by leading artists, scholars, and curators from around the world who have worked with photography in Indonesia and have traced the evolution of the medium from its inception to the present day, addressing the impact of photography on colonialism, independence, and democratization.Table of ContentsIntroduction The Invention of Photography, the Nederlands, and the Dutch East Indies Journeys Completed and Journeys to Come in Indonesian Photography Portraits of Power The Dance Photographs of Walter Spies and Claire Holt: A Biographical Study Midcentury European Modernism and the March Towards Independence: Gotthard Schuh, Cas Oorthuys, Niels Douwes Dekker, and Henri Cartier-Bresson A Short History of IPPHOS Art Photography in Indonesia: J.M.

Cannibal/Hannibal Publishers Moon: Photographing the Moon 1840-Now
Book SynopsisOn July 21, 1969, the first man set foot on The Moon. When Neil Armstrong was asked if this made him feel big, he answered: "No, it made me feel really, really small." 50 years later, this publication celebrates that special moment that put life on earth into a totally different perspective. It collects pictures of the world's best photographers from the 1840s until today. Next to historical photographs and imagery printed in media, the publication features many artists that each in their own way reflect on this mystical celestial body, we call 'moon'. The book shows the diversity of meanings of The Moon, it's relation to mankind and to nature. The Moon has always both attracted and scared people around the world. It is our everyday connection to the unfathomable universe. Since time immemorial it is revered for its beauty, its stillness and mysterious appearance and yet also feared for its supernatural-seeming qualities. In mythology The Moon has always been given a central place. With its magnetic forces it changes the tides and has a direct and uncontrollable impact on mankind from above. In 1840, barely three years after the invention of photography, J.W. Draper makes the first picture ever made of The Moon and since that day photographers have never stopped following his example. The paradoxical aspects of the moon continue to fascinate and inspire. Like a photograph The Moon depends on sunlight to be visible. It has no light of its own and no apparent strength to resist our nightly city lights either. Photographers feel this close connection to The Moon's characteristics and find the perfect object in its aesthetics. The landing on The Moon was a culmination point of the1960's Space Race between the United States and the Soviet Union, which quickly became a symbol of the Cold War. The images of the landing became the bearer of values and symbols of the United States and were widely spread through various media. In 1973 NASA abolished its moon program. The Moon had been conquered and the public seemed to have had lost interest. However, today people still find The Moon fascinating, and humanity continues to dream about setting foot on the sun's shadow.

The University of Chicago Press Bedrooms of the Fallen
Book SynopsisOver the years, the US has been fighting wars so far from the public eye as to risk being forgotten, the struggles and sacrifices of its volunteer soldiers almost ignored. This book features images that depict the bedrooms of forty fallen soldiers - the equivalent of a single platoon - from the US, Canada, and several European nations.Trade Review"The need to see America's twenty-first-century war dead, and to make them seen-to give their absence presence-has consumed Ashley Gilbertson for much of the past decade.... To picture death, Gilbertson decided to picture how and where the dead had lived. He set about photographing their bedrooms, many of which had been preserved by their families in much the same spirit that Gilbertson preserved them with his camera: as memorials.... But taken together, these photographs defy any effort to seek in a room's furnishings an echo of its former occupant's fate. Their power lies in reminding us of the disconnect between life and death." (Philip Gourevitch, from the foreword)"
