Candid New York
The American entrepreneur George Eastman has been called "the father of the snapshot," bringing photography to the masses with his compact Kodak camera in 1888. But more than a decade earlier, a Connecticut-born inventor devised ingenious hand-held cameras, which he used to record daily life on the streets of New York. As early as 1870, before dry plates were commercially available, George Bradford Brainerd, a civil engineer with the Brooklyn water department, developed photographic plates with more sensitive film emulsions to freeze action which had previously been a blur. Brainerd used the new technology to document the colorful street types he saw as he went about his rounds--fruit peddlers, artisans, musicians, dock workers, newsboys, launderesses, and even beggars--laying the groundwork for photojournalists like Jacob Riis and Louis Hine. But in America in the early 1880s, when Brainerd was active, such documentary or "street photography" was unknown. Candid New York is the first published work on this pioneering American inventor, once hailed as the "father of instantaneous photography."
Musik
The first major book to showcase internationally renowned photographer Bent Rej's seminal photographs of 1960s rock legends, including The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, The Who, The Kinks, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, and more. In 1965, as a twenty-five-year-old photographer, Bent Rej was assigned by a Danish newspaper to cover The Rolling Stones' European tour. Rej developed an immediate rapport with the burgeoning British Invasion band, especially with Brian Jones, who became a close friend. As part of the Stones' entourage, he was soon swept into the bustling celebrity underworld of the late '60s London. There, he met and photographed the band's notable peers, gaining unfettered access to the young musicians of the day who would go on to become legends. With a camera always on hand, Rej took some of the most iconic, behind-the-scenes shots of the most influential rock musicians of the era, including: Mick Jagger Keith Richards John Lennon Paul McCartney Roger Daltrey Pete Townshend Ray Davies And many more. Featuring an insightful introduction and over 200 color and black-and-white photographs--both well-known and rare candid images--of the most beloved rock stars of a generation, this deluxe volume is an essential addition to the collections of rock fans, music historians, photography lovers, and devotees of 1960s culture and fashion. Crafted to the dimensions of a record album, it is an irresistible coffee table book any music lover will covet.
Haikus
Albrecht Classen presents here yet another volume of his own poetry, haiku(s), along with a selection of his photos from the Sonoran Desert, Vermont, Germany, and Hawai'i. In fact, the photos served as the inspiration for the haikus, so this volume represents the intimate interaction of image and word to reveal some of the deep secrets in all our existence. The haiku is an intriguing form of poetry, determined by a strict word count (5 - 7 -5) and its focus on nature. Those three lines ask the reader to reflect deeply on the meaning of life as mirrored in the three statements, all closely aligned with each other. The haiku contains a message, and the photo enhances the meaning.
The Domestic Stage
Since the 1990s, fashion imagery has evolved from the aspirational and glamorous into an experimental genre created by interdisciplinary artists, art directors, and photographers. The domestic space or where we live has acquired a key role as an intimate setting for this kind of playful exploration, in which personal stories are told, and fashion shots gain authenticity. Illustrated interviews with or editorials on twenty-two established and newer image-makers offer exceptional insights into this phenomenon. Featured photographers include Corinne Day, Tierney Gearon, Clifford Prince King, and Tina Barney, to name a few.For three decades, the fashion image has shifted its focus from high-end shoots to the idiosyncratic, Instagram-style practice of pictures taken at home. That home may be a house, apartment, or room--often, though not always, the antithesis of glamour and gloss. The Domestic Stage captures this fascination with the home as an "uncurated" setting for presenting an individual's private life and relationships, and for professional commissions with edge. How this space merged with the fashion image is revealed through the words and work of twenty-two such image-makers. They include the pioneering Nigel Shafran; International Magic, who created virtual fashion shows with Martine Rose during the pandemic; and Carrie Mae Weems, whose 2024 Bottega Veneta campaign truly came "home"--to show A$AP Rocky enjoying time with his children. Each contributor's commentary is candid and revealing, their images even more so. The result is a provocative new take on fashion photography and its transformation in recent years.
Photography as a Way of Life
A richly illustrated look at three visionary artists who charted new directions for photography in midcentury America Minor White, Aaron Siskind, and Harry Callahan carved out a new role for photographers and their art in the decades after World War Two. Photography as a Way of Life traces how these influential teachers and theorists reimagined the medium as a livelihood and a life's work. Together with growing markets for snapshots and photojournalism, the postwar years saw the emergence of photography as an established field of study in higher education. In this beautifully produced book, Brendan Fay takes readers from the late 1940s through the 1970s to explore how White, Siskind, and Callahan transformed the ways photography was taught, shown, and understood. Inclined toward abstraction and personally expressive images, they modeled a commitment to art in the face of commercial and professional pressures. In classrooms and private workshops and through exhibitions, photobooks, and magazines--including Aperture, with White as its founding editor--they offered training and inspiration while building a devoted audience for their pictures. Blending stunning illustrations with rare archival material published here for the first time, Photography as a Way of Life brings together the work of three boldly inventive artists and educators who opened new possibilities for photography in postwar America and exemplified a vision of learning and living through photography. Published in association with the Princeton University Art Museum Exhibition SchedulePrinceton University Art Museum, Princeton, New JerseyApril 18-September 7, 2026
Astrid Jahnsen: 200 Grams

At the Limits of the Gaze
The first English-language collection of Takuma Nakahira's influential writings on photography.At the Limits of the Gaze collects the writings of photographer and critic Takuma Nakahira in English for the first time. A crucial figure within the history of Japanese photography, Nakahira is best known outside of Japan as a founding member of Provoke, the experimental magazine of photographs, essays, and poetry, first published in 1968, and for his important photobook For a Language to Come (1970). Throughout a decades-long career, Nakahira raised incisive questions about visual culture and politics in both his photography and his writing. As part of a dynamic moment of artistic and political experimentation in Tokyo, he wrote on a range of topics hardly limited to photography: art, film, journalism, literature, politics, television, and more. Nakahira's essays brim with urgency, relentlessly interrogating photography's relationship to power, the connection between language and images, and the gaze. As editors and translators Daniel Abbe and Franz Prichard write, Nakahira's essays "both suggest doubt about, and possibilities for, a photographically mediated reckoning with the world."
Before & After
A study of the history of before-and-after images of catastrophes, bombed-out cities, and large-scale political transformations. Catastrophes, bombed-out cities, large-scale political transformations: "Image complexes" of humanitarian and ecological upheaval document the world as a sequence of catastrophes. But who decides how events are presented, determines the resolution of our visual worlds, and controls the circulation or censorship of images? Eyal and Ines Weizman trace the history of the before-and-after image from nineteenth-century photography to contemporary satellite images and discover a gap that not only conceals the devastating event: it is the human subject itself that is in danger of disappearing from the images. Does humanitarian work, the documentation and reconstruction of war crimes, in which people's fates and rights should be at the center of attention, paradoxically enter a post-human phase? How can the gap between images become a site of critical counter-reading rather than a symbol of erasure? In the context of their current research, Eyal and Ines Weizman discuss the history, present, and future of the paradigm of the before-and-after image in an exclusive conversation with Marie Glassl.
Photographing Civil Disobedience
Drawn from a rare and historical album, this volume takes readers on a visual journey of the unfolding of the Civil Disobedience Movement in and around Bombay (today's Mumbai). Photographing Civil Disobedience: Bombay 1930-31 brings together an interdisciplinary conversation around a rare collection of documentary photographs compiled in a historical album held in the Alkazi Collection of Photography, New Delhi. The album features 245 black-and-white images that capture the extraordinary history of the Civil Disobedience Movement in Bombay (now Mumbai), when the city's cosmopolitan streets came alive with anti-colonial protests, processions, and propaganda--from the leading role played by the desh sevikas (members of a nationalist women's organization) to the violent crackdown of police lathis (bamboo or wooden sticks) on non-violent demonstrators. Focusing on the sea of ordinary people participating in public events, the essays in the volume engage with this remarkable visual archive that captures on camera the streets of Bombay turning into sites of anti-colonial and nationalist assertion. This book will be of interest to scholars of gender and women's studies, urban studies, screen and visual studies, consumer history, as well as the material history of colonial India.
Enemy Alien
The first publication devoted to Tamio Wakayama's remarkable photographic career, Enemy Alien shares unpublished photos and a memoir by the artist about his life working alongside activist movements and in vibrant communities, from the civil rights-era American South to the Powell Street Festival in Vancouver. Wakayama was born in New Westminster, British Columbia mere months before Pearl Harbor and was soon forcibly relocated with his parents to an internment camp for Japanese Canadians. This early childhood experience of injustice would shape the rest of his life and practice. Later, as a young man, Wakayama was vacationing in Tennessee when the Birmingham Church Bombing happened; inspired by a deep sympathy for the activists, he drove straight to Birmingham, met John Lewis, and began working for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) in Atlanta, first as a cleaner and driver and soon as a photographer. For two years Wakayama produced campaign material and documented SNCC activists and actions in Georgia, Mississippi, and Alabama, including the 1964 Freedom Summer. After leaving the US, he photographed Indigenous and Doukhobor communities in Canada, everyday life in Japan and Cuba, and finally settled in Vancouver, where he joined the resurging Nikkei community and the Redress Movement, and for decades photographed the Powell Street Festival. The centerpiece of the heavily illustrated publication is Wakayama's unpublished memoir, Soul on Rice, which includes numerous photo spreads. Essays by Eva Respini and Paul Wong situate the artist's practice within a broader art-historical context, and an interview with Mayumi Takasaki, Wakayama's partner of forty years, offers an intimate perspective on his life and work. Photos and texts throughout the book are contextualized with archival material such as contact sheets, newspaper articles and the artist's correspondence. Enemy Alien is co-published with the Vancouver Art Gallery in association with an exhibition of the same name, curated by Paul Wong.
Richard Johnson
A photographic collection that celebrates the tranquility of winter and the ingenuity of vernacular architecture. From a clear, straight-on vantage point and with a pictorial formality echoing the work of documentary photography pioneers Bernd and Hilla Becher, Richard Johnson (1957-2021) spent more than a decade recording and categorizing visual typologies of small, hand-built structures across Canada. His largest and most celebrated collection of photographs documents ice huts used for fishing across the frozen lakes, bays, and rivers. These huts must be weather-resistant and transportable, giving basic shelter around the opening to the water below. Johnson's photographs reveal the functional and aesthetic similarities and differences of what he called "renegade architecture"--a form verging on a vernacular folk art tradition. Later in his life, Johnson began documenting Newfoundland's ubiquitous, earthen-built root cellars. To Johnson, the cellars were place-specific oddities; efficiently constructed and curiously anthropomorphic. They also fit conceptually into his lifelong fascination with small structures built out of necessity and usually by hand. More than 200 photographs from these series are complemented by texts from acclaimed photographer and filmmaker Edward Burtynsky and curator Tom Smart that contextualize Johnson's photographs and place his work among the contemporary disciples of the Bechers' D羹sseldorf School. A personal text by Johnson's long-time partner, Lucie Bergeron-Johnson, provides an intimate portrait of the artist, and chronicles his journey to the discovery of his subject matter and the development of his signature style.
Loving II
A stunning new companion to Loving: A Photographic History of Men in Love, 1850-1950 (2020), featuring all new photographs from the Nini-Treadwell collection. Loving II, the sequel to Loving: A Photographic History of Men in Love, 1850s - 1950s, is a stunning collection of vintage vernacular photographs of romantic male couples. Drawn from the Nini-Treadwell Collection of over 4000 photos, some as much as 175 years old, the selection conveys the unadulterated joy - longed for by all of us and recognizable to anyone - of being in love. Starting from the earliest years of photography and continuing through the 1950s, this collection comprises daguerreotypes, silver gelatins, tintypes, ambrotypes, snap shots, and many more - a cross section of a century of photographic technique. The subjects come from all walks of life: soldiers, farmers, students, the young and the old, the poor and the affluent. These photographs were taken when being recognized as gay was to risk retribution, ridicule, banishment, imprisonment, and possibly death. They remained locked away during their subjects' lifetimes for their very survival. The journeys that eventually brought them to the attention of Hugh Nini and Neal Treadwell are mostly unknown, with only a few exceptions. Discovered in a variety of ways, sometimes tucked away in antique shops and flea markets, they had slipped into the cracks of photographic history before being added to the Nini-Treadwell Collection one at a time, over a 25-year period. These courageous couples, from so long ago, who took and protected these photos, could not have imagined that one day their mementos of love would appear in a book that has been embraced all over the world. So much so that a second volume was necessary. These couples sent a message to the future. The question now is, what message will we send?

Places in Time
This book is a compilation of four decades of pictures taken in places familiar and remote. It is entirely of the film era in his work and ends with the beginning of the 21st century. In Jeffrey Heller's 20s and 30s, he had two professions--he was working as an architect as well as a professional photographer, burning the candle at both ends. He had briefly studied with Ansel Adams and for a year with Minor White. In his mid-30s, he realized that he could not continue both professions and decided to make architecture his primary calling and photography his artistic outlet. This freed Heller to photograph as he wished, and he took his cameras with him wherever he went, whether the travel was vacation or business he would make time to photograph. Heller always used professional equipment and took his photography as seriously as his architecture. Heller worked with his wife, a photographer and artist herself, and went through approximately 2000 images to Select the ones for this book. The photographs are from a wide range of places, but the emphasis is on the image as a sense of place. The photographs are an impression in time, character and visual content.
Paolo Roversi (Photofile)
Born in Ravenna, Italy, in 1947, Paolo Roversi discovered photography at the age of seventeen on a family vacation. A chance meeting with photographer Peter Knapp led him to move to Paris in the early 1970s, where he first encountered the world of fashion. His career truly began when he became an assistant to Laurence Sackman, who taught him the photographer's craft.Roversi is famed for his use of large-format Polaroid film to capture images of ethereal beauty, vulnerability, and romanticism. Working in evocative monochrome or carefully articulated color, he collaborates regularly with the world's top supermodels and designers, and has shot for many leading fashion magazines and international ad campaigns. This title in the Photofiles series brings together Roversi's signature images from his entire career in an attractive pocket-sized edition, celebrating the work of one of the most influential photographers of his generation.
Roger Ballen
Having previously expressed no interest in color photography, Roger Ballen was inspired to engage with the medium after receiving a Leica SL camera as a gift in 2016. Opening to the potential of color in his work, Ballen used light in creative ways, exploring new avenues of experimentation. Spirits and Spaces eloquently captures the absurd and bizarre world of Roger Ballen, where animals and art brut-like drawings dominate, and humanity is reduced to obscure figures or fragmented body parts.The color images in Spirits and Spaces, created in conjunction with Ballen's artistic director, Marguerite Rossouw, were produced in a claustrophobic space, constructed of worn, wallpapered wooden panels and with minimalistic lighting. Here, in this dense, oppressive environment, Ballen creates what might be seen by many as a world that is unexplainable in words: one in which absurdity, chaos, comedy, and tragedy apparently exist side by side.Both a visual revelation and an artistic evolution by one of contemporary photography's most unique voices, Spirits and Spaces will be an essential and much-anticipated photobook for all Roger Ballen fans.
All a Blur
Over the last 25 years, Bill Armstrong has pioneered the unique approach of blurring appropriated images--a medium at the intersection of photography, painting and collage. All a Blur presents some 300 pulsating color images that offer alternate visions of history, religion and philosophy. Armstrong's photographs range from mysterious falling figures sourced from the Renaissance to vibrating color spheres akin to Buddhist mandalas. He transforms these into hypnotic visual objects in a volume that is both aesthetically rewarding and a potential pathway to heightened awareness.
David Yarrow
Celebrating the full arc of 40 years' worth of Yarrow's most iconic images, this massive retrospective is the must-have photography monograph of the year. Legendary British photographer David Yarrow showcases 150 of his best images in a curated mix of yet-to-be-published and best-selling photographs. The Collection details the artist's journey from a 20-year-old shooting pitchside at the 1986 FIFA World Cup Final to photographing the natural world and, more recently, simply telling stories. His personal anthology of the Wild West sought to entertain, not teach, and its success encouraged him to tell historical stories elsewhere. These large-scale productions across multiple continents have told epic stories, from a lion on a catwalk in South Africa to a car race at Willow Springs International Raceway to evocative scenes in some of the world's most exclusive towns. Yarrow refuses to be conveniently categorized within a specific genre of photography through the stories he tells. This collection of his work showcases his rigorous aesthetic program and his relentless journey that has taken him around the world, photographing subject matter that includes sports stars, wildlife, supermodels, and frontier towns. The Collection offers additional insight through behind-the-scenes photos and Yarrow's own first-person contextual narratives. His work has earned him a global following, garnering wide acclaim in the fine-art market. In 2024, he appeared on Artsy's Top 10 Most Inquired About Artists and was the only photographer to feature on the list. His work is exhibited at some of Europe and North America's foremost museums, and globally in more than fifty leading fine-art galleries. Philanthropy has always been central to Yarrow's mission, and over the past decade, he has raised more than $20 million, focusing on conservation, the socially disadvantaged, and pediatric cancer care. The David Yarrow Family Foundation raises money every week from sales of Yarrow's work.

Dimonis
The Devil, in the general Christian tradition, symbolizes all the evil and vileness of humanity: everything negative, damaging and sinister; everything that terrifies and confuses us and which leads down a wayward path. Nevertheless, in the Mediterranean region, its figure veered towards less sombre and malicious peculiarities, becoming a more jokey and playful being, capable of being tricked and subdued by humans. In this cherished corner of the world, the Devil has acquired a more entertaining and daring nuance, undertaking a liberating function regarding the social norms and against the monotony and rigidity of our daily lives. In Catalan, Spanish, German & English
David Katzenstein
A collection of photographs created by David Katzenstein using the Duaflex camera, a successor to Kodak's famous Brownie camera. Brownie is a collection of photographs created by photographer David Katzenstein over ten years, from 1979-1989. With this series, Katzenstein pays homage to the original line of Brownie cameras that began in 1900. For the series, he used the successor to the famous Kodak Brownie, the Kodak Dualflex, which was first introduced in 1947. The result is a colorful, personal, and sensitive view of the world. Described by one critic as "Hot, Lush and Specific," the series begins in New York City, eventually traveling the globe to explore both distant places and the use of the Kodak Duaflex camera. Throughout the project, Katzenstein's goal was to embrace the camera's limitations as a means of pushing the boundaries of composition, juxtaposing foreground and background while heightening the use of color.
Ephemeral Field Journal
In the footsteps of Monet: Sarah Schorr's captivating experiment with color, water, and still lifeWhen Claude Monet settled in Giverny in 1883, he designed a flower garden full of impressive color compositions for observing light and time. The American artist Sarah Schorr understands Monet's garden as a creative, living laboratory. Her images in this book were inspired by the movement of water in Monet's garden - from the tiny teardrops of rain to the steady stream feeding the water lily pond. By collecting fallen, injured flowers in Monet's historic green spaces, Schorr transforms them into striking works of art by bringing them to life with paint, light, paper, water, and photography: experimental still lifes. Ephemeral Field Journal is an evocative artist's journal in which Schorr evokes the fragility of nature and illuminates the complex interplay of climate change, beauty, and loss. On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Monet's death, the project will be exhibited internationally in 2025 and 2026.

Buried in Style
Ghana's extraordinary coffin shapes and farewell cultureCelebrate death as we celebrate life: This is the credo of the funeral culture of the Ghanaian ethnic group Ga-Adangme, where creative coffins in the shape of animals, vehicles, etc. are used to represent the preferences, or dreams of the deceased. In addition, perfectly choreographed dances transform funerals into colorful and energetic celebrations. For more than twenty years, Regula Tschumi, who holds a doctorate in ethnology, has researched and photographed the Ghanaian funeral cult. Her astonishing, vibrantly colorful images depict Christian and traditional funeral ceremonies, bizarre installations, and various forms of laying out the deceased, as well as spectacular trends in figural coffin design over the past two decades. Tschumi also accompanied and photographed the undertaker and pallbearer Benjamin Aidoo (known as "Ghana's Coffin Dancer"), who has become world famous through social media.

Walter Chandoha. Dogs. Photographs 1941-1991
The world appears to be divided into cat and dog lovers, but fortunately Walter Chandoha, the 20th century's greatest pet photographer found himself happily in the middle. He loved these intriguing creatures equally for their unique beauty and individualism, and as subjects to photograph in a career spanning over 70 years. While working on his critically acclaimed TASCHEN book Cats, Chandoha handpicked his favorite dog photos for a potential follow-up title, putting into carefully marked boxes hundreds of contact sheets, prints, and color transparencies. Chandoha sadly passed away in 2019 at the age of 98, but his legacy lives on in this dashing sequel dedicated to man's best friend. "Walter Chandoha's photographs of dogs are compelling not just because dogs have an inherent charm, but because the person behind the camera was a master of his craft," writes the photography critic Jean Dykstra in the book's introduction. We see terriers, collies, beagles, bloodhounds, poodles, small dogs, big dogs, show dogs, working dogs, and many more, featuring over 60 breeds photographed in both black-and-white and glorious Kodachrome.Spanning a 50-year period, the book is divided into six sections, and each chapter reveals Chandoha's exceptional combination of technique, versatility, and soul. The opening chapter "In the Studio" focuses on formal portraiture; next it's "Strike a Pose" where our canine companions ham it up for the camera; in "Out and About" they get to roam and play, often photographed with Chandoha's own children; next it's "Best in Show" with Chandoha using his reportage skills to capture vintage dog shows from the Mad Men era; in "Tails from the City, " the dogs are hitting the streets of mid-century New York; and in the closing chapter "Country Dogs, " it's back to nature, the fields, and the beaches. Dogs is an unleashed photographic tribute to these lovable and loyal creatures.

We Will Not Be Removed
"This is the story of a Portland park and a community that refuses to be "removed." In spite of being displaced, this community survives. Birthdays are celebrated, tragedy is commemorated, and, most important, people who grew up in the neighborhood, as well as their offspring, connect in the park each day. I've been privileged to try to capture their spirit through pictures for almost five years. Individuals have welcomed me into their lives." --Alan Wieder, from the Introduction During the latter half of the twentieth century, sections of North and Northeast Portland experienced significant gentrification. Many people--predominantly the Black population, whose families had lived there for generations--were pushed out of their neighborhoods to distant corners of the city. Despite such dislocations, some refused to give up their connection to what had historically been their neighborhood park. They travel back to the neighborhood daily to spend time at a park that has come to represent family and community. From 2020 to 2024 Alan Wieder visited the King School Park almost every day, photographing and interviewing the individuals who regularly frequent the park. We Will Not Be Removed documents this community, which, against all odds, continues to persevere. Pulitzer Prize-winning author Mitchell Jackson, who grew up in the King Park neighborhood, pens the foreword, providing a sense of how these blocks in North Portland mattered to those who lived there. With poignant quotations captured from the interviews and Wieder's seventy black-and-white photographs, We Will Not Be Removed is a powerful testimony to the lasting bonds of community.
The Queer Face of War
Award-winning photographer and journalist J. Lester Feder shows us The Queer Face of War in this remarkable collection of stunning portraits and moving profiles, capturing the many ways queer people can be vulnerable in armed conflict--and the many ways they feel especially called to fight. Queer people's experiences of war have largely been invisible. Portraits like the ones in this book are rare because most recent wars have been fought in places where it is generally unsafe for queer people to come out. But Russia's invasion of Ukraine is different: Queer people have become a visible part of the war effort, continuing to fight for their rights as they join the fight for their country. Queer freedom and the fight for democracy are deeply entwined in Ukraine. Russian President Vladimir Putin has partly framed the war as a battle to protect "traditional values," making this the first war in which a global superpower has invaded its neighbor with the explicit goal of rolling back LGBTQ rights. Award-winning photographer and journalist J. Lester Feder shows us The Queer Face of War in this remarkable collection of stunning portraits and moving profiles.

Richard Avedon Immortal
An unflinching exploration of aging from one of the twentieth century's most influential photographers '[Avedon's] portraits ... expose something more than skin deep; whole worlds are contained in these well-earned crags and crevices.' - The New York Times For more than half a century, Richard Avedon sought to represent advancing age in the faces of the people he photographed. From his earliest years at Harper's Bazaar and Vogue through to the twenty-first century, Avedon routinely and audaciously broke the rule of flattering public personalities in his portraits. Instead, he chose to highlight the onslaught of what he called the "avalanche of age," dramatizing the universal experience of getting older.Accompanying a groundbreaking exhibition at The Image Centre at Toronto Metropolitan University and The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, Immortal is the first book to delve into Avedon's unflinching representation of aging throughout his career.This elegant hardcover volume features nearly 100 portraits of cultural luminaries, each printed in striking tritone, such as Michelangelo Antonioni, Truman Capote, Marcel Duchamp, Duke Ellington, Toni Morrison, Patti Smith, and Stephen Sondheim, as well as one of Avedon's last self-portraits. Texts by a star-studded cohort of authors, including Vince Aletti, Adam Gopnik, Paul Roth, and Ga禱lle Morel, shed new light on an under-represented element of Avedon's practice. Thoughtfully edited and beautifully produced, Immortal testifies emphatically to the determination with which people confront the relentless advance of mortality.
