Recently identified, the works presented are magnified by the excitement of rediscovering a lost archive. Extra! Weegee continues to proclaim Weegee’s legacy as a unrivaled photographer and master storyteller“. (https://de.mail.yahoo.com/#1973606489; 28.11.2017).
Text engl. - „Der Spanier Enrique Meneses gehört zu den großen Fotojournalisten des 20. Jahrhunderts. Mehr als fünf Dekaden lang arbeitete er für zahlreiche Magazine als Fotograf und Auslandskorrespondent und war häufig bei historischen Momenten an vorderster Front: Als erster Journalist traf er Che Guevara und Fidel Castro in den Bergen der Sierra Maestra, er berichtete von der Krise um den Suezkanal in Ägypten und arbeitete noch in seinen 70er Jahren zur Zeit der bosnisch-serbischen Belagerung in Sarajevo. Diese Publikation präsentiert umfassend das fotojournalistische Werk von Meneses“ (Buchh. Frölich & Kaufmann, Berlin 01.2018).
Text dt. - „Der Schweizer Fotograf Giorgio von Arb (Jg. 1953) arbeitet für verschiedene Illustrierte und Zeitungen, unter anderem für »Neue Zürcher Zeitung«, »Du«, »Merian«, »Stern« und andere Magazine. Sein Foto-Essay widmet sich den Menschen in Liechtenstein, ihnen hat er einen sorgfältig edierten Bildband gewidmet, in dem er einem Spiegel gleich Gesichter festhält, die das Land reflektieren. Arb inszeniert und gibt dem Portraitierten einen Rahmen, der seinem persönlichen Umfeld entspricht und seinen Charakter wiedergibt.“ (Buchh. Frölich & Kaufmann, Berlin 01.2018).
