Text engl. - Other ed.: Fr. ed.: Lendemains. Les archives du World Trade Center. Paris 2006. - „Die bemerkenswerten Bilder in diesem Band sind die einzige fotografische Dokumentation der Ereignisse unmittelbar nach den Attentaten des 11. September 2001. Direkt nach der Sicherung des Geländes rund um die Trümmer der »Twin Tower« wurde das Gelände vollständig abgeriegelt, Kommentare zum Fortschritt der Aufräumarbeiten wurden zunächst geheim gehalten. Joel Meyerowitz hat es allein seiner Hartnäckigkeit und seinem Einfallsreichtum zu verdanken, dass es ihm als einzigen Fotografen gelang, das Gelände zu betreten. In seinen Bildern verarbeitet er die Entwicklung von einem chaotischen Berg aus Glas, Trümmern und Schutt zu einer geräumten Gedenkstätte. Der übergroße Luxusband wurde anlässlich des fünften Jahrestages der Anschläge herausgegeben. Die hervorragend gedruckten Bilder werden auf großformatigen, ganz- oder doppelseitigen Abbildungen gezeigt. Begleitet werden sie von persönlichen Erinnerungen und Kommentaren, die der Fotograf am Ort der Zerstörung gesammelt hat.“ (Kat. Frölich & Kaufmann, Berlin 02.2012).

Dt. Ausgabe eines spanischen Katalogs.

Text engl. - Includes exhibition history and bibliography.From the publisher: "The work is as controversial as ever.. cadavers, transsexuals and animals are carefully arranged to create a mythology that could originate only in the imagination of this singular artist. The ten years work included in this collection were not reproduced in our first book of the artist's work.".

- From the publisher: "This is a retrospective look at the work of one of the late twentieth century's most profound and disturbing artists. For this collection Joel-Peter Witkin has personally selected from his own archives his finest images, ranging from his early Coney Island "freak show" studies to his most recent work. Witkin's portraits of subjects both living and dead have disturbed countless viewers for their unwavering viewpoint and magically grotesque compositions. The artist's sojourn captured here, with each photograph a station along his path, veers between oblivion and salvation. This book depicts Witkin's journey up until now."

Selected by Andy Grundberg in The New York Times Book Review as one of the ten best photography books of 1994. - From the publisher: "Selected by Andy Grundberg in The New York Times Book Review as one of the ten best photography books of 1994, Harms Way brings together four unusual collections which had been hidden from then history of photography. The book includes turn-of-the-century crime scenes, nineteenth-century asylum inmate portraits with calligraphic annotations detailing the patient's diagnoses, nineteenth-century medical photographs, and a selection of images from the Kinsey Institute for Sex Research. The ability of the photograph to show us our powerlessness in the face of madness, lust, disease and death, survives in these brittle and arresting images."
