Includes an exhibition history and bibliography. - From the publisher: "Philip-Lorca diCorcia’s inventively staged and exquisitely crafted color photographs occupy a special place in contemporary art. Operating in the gap between postmodern fiction and documentary fact, between slick convention and fresh perception, they deliver a powerful emotional charge. The 55 color plates in this book, dating from 1978 to 1994, trace the evolution of a compelling and influential body of work. Beginning with enigmatic domestic scenarios whose protagonists are the photographer’s family and friends, diCorcia moved on to an ambitious series in which Hollywood drifters and hustlers are pictured as emblematic figures of contemporary America. He proceeded to deploy his probing curiosity amid the energy and turmoil of big-city streets, reinvigorating a rich photographic tradition that had been dormant for nearly a generation.“

On the morning of May 18, 1980, the Mount St. Helens volcano in the forests of Washington State exploded. First, months of building interior pressure triggered a massive landslide removing entire north face of the mountain. This avalanche was followed immediately by a violent eruption that ultimately expelled over a quarter-billion cubic yards of magma. Beginning in 1981 and continuing until 1990, photographer Frank Gohlke made regular visits to the devastated land around Mount St. Helens. (s. http://www.frankgohlke.com/html/books.htm).
Henri Cartier-Bresson schließt die Lücke zwischen Reportagefotografie und Kunstfotografie. Eine große Ausstellung zum Lebenswerk Henri Cartier-Bressons wurde 2003 von Robert Delpire, dem Gründungsdirektor der
Henri-Cartier-Bresson-Stiftung zusammengestellt. Auch frühe Bilder, unveröffentlichte Aufnahmen und Fotos zur Biographie und von Kollegen, z.B. von Edward Steichen, Martine Franck, John Loengard oder Rene Burri, sind hier zu finden. Dazu kommen aufschlussreiche Texte der Kuratoren Peter Galassi und Robert Delpire. Hier wird große Fotografie, Zeit- und Kulturgeschichte in einem Band vereinigt. (Buchh. Lindemann Stuttgart, 03.2007). - Nur Kurztitelaufnahme 03.2007.
