Linder: Danger Came Smiling
Five decades of work from the subversive feminist artist known for her photomontages exploring the body and representations of femininityBritish artist Linder Sterling (born 1954) first emerged in the late 1970s as a prominent figure within the dynamic landscapes of punk and post-punk music, and later went on to become an internationally recognized artist renowned for her multifaceted practice. Throughout her career, Linder has used photomontage as a potent instrument for dissecting and reshaping the portrayal and commercialization of gender norms and sexual identity. Drawing from source materials extracted from magazines of the late 20th century, she exposes the weighty stereotypes imposed on both ends of the gender spectrum: automobiles, DIY culture and pornography for men; fashion and domesticity for women. In addition to using found images from magazines, Linder has also used photographs of herself taking on various feminine personae, which navigate concepts of personal invention and the performative dimensions of identity. Her art is informed by a rich tapestry of influences spanning religious art, surrealism, mysticism and the ever-evolving landscape of social media.With an introduction by Rachel Thomas, new essays by Chris Kraus and Marina Warner, a new interview with Gilly Fox and a chronology by Katie Guggenheim, this book is the comprehensive guide to Linder's world and work.

Adrienne Salinger: Teenagers in Their Bedrooms
The new edition of Salinger's ever-relevant series of 1980s and '90s teenagers in their bedroomsBedrooms contain the past, the present and the future; they are sites of continual transformation. Popular culture and fashion continually change and recycle. While specific objects of decor change over time, teenagers' bedrooms are still private sanctuaries: spaces for safely experimenting during a time in life when one is forming and expressing ever-evolving identities.Upon its release in 1995, Adrienne Salinger's book In My Room was an immediate success, selling nearly 24,000 copies in its first few years. The continued popularity of this work made in the '80s and '90s is curious. However, over the nearly 30 years since, and especially in the most recent decade of social media, the work's appeal has grown tremendously. In some cases, the work evokes nostalgia, but not primarily so. Adrienne Salinger hears from current teenagers often; many send her pictures of their bedrooms today. Social media encourages users to endlessly "rebrand" their identities, creating idealized fantasies, striving for perfection. These photographs are not about perfection. They give voice to the contradictions of our identities.Hundreds of print and online articles, interviews and features on In My Room have been published and the work has been exhibited at museums all around the world. Long out of print and now considered a classic, with only a rare few available on the secondary market, the book returns in a new expanded edition as Teenagers in Their Bedrooms. With 26 additional photographs, this treasure is made available once more to new audiences.Adrienne Salinger has published three photobooks: In My Room (1995), Living Solo (1999) and Middle Aged Men (2007). She is Regents Professor Emerita at the University of New Mexico.

This River Was Once a Road
For author Steve Skafte, This River Was Once a Road represents a decade of incessant adventures--ten years of trawling through old maps and property records, searching for the secrets that Nova Scotia's abandoned roads--all still public rights-of-way, open for all to use--have been keeping from "ordinary folks" like him. In that time, he's explored countless overgrown fields where he's discovered rock walls, old wells, foundations, and signs of former human habitation. For Skafte, each of these roads inhabits a time and place lost; a track through the wilderness to a place that someone once called home. Featuring 80 evocative colour images, with GPS coordinates to guide readers to each unique location, and more than 20 deeply poetic tales of discovery, This River Was Once a Road traces the paths of our past to reveal the places we've left behind.

Queer Lens
Copiously illustrated, Queer Lens explores the transformative role of photography in LGBTQ+ communities from the nineteenth century to the present day. Photography's power to capture a subject--representing reality, or a close approximation--has inherently been linked with the construction and practice of identity. Since the camera's invention in 1839, and despite periods of severe homophobia, the photographic art form has been used by and for individuals belonging to dynamic LGBTQ+ communities, helping shape and affirm queer culture and identity across its many intersections. Queer Lens explores this transformative force of photography, which has played a pivotal role in increasing queer visibility. Lively essays by scholars and artists explore myriad manifestations of queer culture, both celebrating complex interpretations of people and relationships and resisting rigid definitions. Featuring a rich selection of images--including portraits of queer individuals, visual records of queer kinship, and documentary photographs of early queer groups and protests--this volume investigates the medium's profound role in illuminating the vibrant tapestry of LGBTQ+ communities. This volume is published to accompany an exhibition on view at the J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Center from June 17 to September 28, 2025.
The Color of Clothes
"Soon the world will be color-mad and Lumi癡re will be responsible." -- Alfred Stieglitz, 1907These words announced the arrival of the autochrome, the color process invented by the Lumi癡re brothers that not only transformed photography, but also recorded the transition of fashion from Edwardian elegance toward a liberating modernity. The Color of Clothes celebrates the unique beauty of the autochrome in 370 images that reflect the broad sweep of its usage. Couturiers embraced the way the process showcased their exquisite designs to luminous perfection--among them Fortuny, Poiret, Doucet, Vionnet, Lucile, Chanel, and Lanvin. Beyond the sphere of fashion, there are also examples from the Salon du Go羶t Fran癟ais, France's "virtual" autochrome exhibition of luxury items, and Albert Kahn's Archives de la Plan癡te, a bold attempt to record the world's cultures in autochromes.Some of the photographers involved may be famous in their field--Lartigue, Stieglitz, Steichen--though very often they are lesser known, and many are women who took to the process with panache. Whoever they were, they helped to immortalize one of photography's historic moments, when the camera first revealed the world of fashion as it was--in color.
Abandoned Palaces
Built to last, built to impress, built with style and grandeur - it is all the more remarkable when the most ostentatious of buildings fall into disrepair and become ruins. From imperial residences and aristocratic estates to hotels and urban mansions, Abandoned Palaces tells the stories behind dilapidated structures from all around the world. From ancient Roman villas to the French colonial hill station in Cambodia that was one of the final refuges of the Khmer Rouge, the book charts the fascinating decline of what were once the homes and holiday resorts of the most wealthy. Ranging from crumbling hotels in the Catskill Mountains or in Mozambique to grand mansions in Taiwan, and from an unfinished Elizabethan summerhouse to a modern megalomaniac's estate too expensive ever to be completed, the reasons for the abandonment of these buildings include politics, bankruptcy, personal tragedies, natural and man-made disasters, as well as changing tastes and fashions. With 150 outstanding colour photographs exploring more than 100 hauntingly beautiful locations, Abandoned Palaces is a brilliant and moving pictorial examination of worlds we have left behind.
