Found - The Rolling Stones
The Ice Plant 2014 ISBN 9780989785921 Acqn 23879
Hb 16x20cm 64pp 29col ills 17.50

Found: The Rolling Stones presents a series of never-before-seen snapshots of The Rolling
Stones on a 1965 tour through Savannah, Georgia and Clearwater, Florida. Found in an
unmarked box at a flea market in Southern California by musician and art collector Lauren White,
these rare candid images of Mick Jagger, Brian Jones, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts, Bill Wyman
and founding member and road manager, Ian Stewart, capture the band--on the brink of global
superstardom--relaxed and unguarded. On tour in North America in the spring of 1965, the young
band was playing YMCA auditoriums and college gymnasiums in support of their third album, The
Rolling Stones, Now!, and still trying to set themselves apart from the scores of other bands
emerging out of Britain at the time. An additional handful of snapshots (found in the same box)
appear to be from a year or two later, with the band in full rock-star mode. Dilettante gallery in Los
Angeles showed the photographs for the first time after their discovery, but despite considerable
press attention, the photographer responsible for these remarkable images still has not emerged.
Some have speculated that it could be Keith Richards, since he appears in only one of the 23
photographs. White has her own suspicions: My female intuition says that it was a girl. If you
look at the photos, they look very vulnerable I dont think that a guy could evoke that kind of
expression. This key moment in the bands history was recently chronicled in the documentary
The Rolling Stones: Charlie Is My Darling--Ireland 1965 (2012), filmed during another tour that
same year. The cache of photographs in Found: The Rolling Stones is a rare discovery and a
thrilling piece of rock-and-roll history, but also an intimate, fresh look at five faces that were soon
to become iconic.

Thomas Campbell - Seeing Fatima's Eyes
Um Yeah Press 2014 ISBN 9780985361136 Acqn 23880
Hb 17x25cm 144pp col ills 27.95

Seeing Fatima's Eyes is a new photographic essay by the self-taught painter, sculptor,
photographer and filmmaker Thomas Campbell (born 1969), on surfing and life in Morocco. In the
early 1990s, just prior to his immersion in the scene around New York's Alleged Gallery,
Campbell would regularly hole up in the North African enclave to produce paintings for solo
exhibitions in Paris, New York and Rabat, all the while scouring the coast during the winter
months for whatever waves might roll in from the Atlantic. Later, over the last ten years, Campbell
brought various surfers of note (such as Dan Malloy, Alex Knost, Craig Anderson, Dave
Rastovich and Ryan Burch) to join him there, and to savour Morocco's glorious climate and
stupendous surf. This book, the second in Campbell's Slide surfing series (following 2012's Slide
Your Brains Out), records these collective Moroccan adventures from the past 20 years, in colour
and black-and-white images that range from the everyday to the sublime.

Linda Troeller & Marion Schneider Orgasm
Daylight 2014 ISBN 9780989798136 Acqn 23906
Pb 23x18cm 188pp 90col ills 24.50

In this volume, New York-based photographer Linda Troeller (born 1949) collaborates with
scholar and artist Marion Schneider to discuss and portray women's feelings upon orgasm
through personal narratives and photographs. The project involves 25 women of different ages,
nationalities, and cultural and social backgrounds. Schneider posed the following questions to
them: "What does the word orgasm mean to you?" "Can you remember your first orgasm and
show the feelings to the camera?" "Can you remember your strongest orgasm and show the
feelings to the camera?" Troeller's portraits are juxtaposed with interviews with the participants.
Boldly and tenderly countering the taboo associated with the topic, this frank and intimate
examination of the female orgasm as told through the mouths of these diverse participants serves
as a touchstone for women and men everywhere. This book continues the investigation into
female sexuality begun by Troeller and Schneider's 1998 volume The Erotic Lives of Women,
acclaimed in The New York Times Review of Books as "one of the gutsiest books of the decade."

Lisa Kereszi - The More I Learn About Women
J&L 2014 ISBN 9780989531115 Acqn 23907
Hb 14x18cm 112pp 100col ills 21

While photographer Lisa Kereszi (born 1973) was researching for her previous book, Joe's Junk
Yard, her father, Joe Jr., gave her a worn and tattered old photo album that he had compiled in
the 1970s and 80s. Inside were 4 x 6-inch colour photographs taken by Joe Jr. of biker babes in
bars, at bike rallies and drag races, in various states of undress. As Kereszi says, "It's really a
very odd group of images for a daughter to find--pics of biker babes showing off their tattoos, their
boyfriends' bikes and hot rods, and, well, breasts." Kereszi appropriated the photographs, and re-
cropped them for this volume. "The edit goes through various different types of pictures," she
notes, "from the expected, posed shots, to the money shots,' then on to some very interesting
and beautiful images of women unawares."

Elaine Mayes Recently
Daylight 2014 ISBN 9780989798150 Acqn 23912
Hb 24x19cm 96pp 79col ills 31.50

For the past six years, the photographer Elaine Mayes (born 1936) has been crisscrossing the
US, never remaining in one place for more than three or four months at a time. The resulting
sequence of stylistically eclectic photographs collected in this volume represents a diary-like
record of an itinerant life that seems a far cry from the On the Road-style liberty enjoyed by
rebellious young people of the 1950s and 60s--and yet Mayes pictures, taken in places that
range from the Southern Oregon Coast to Italy, France, Seattle, Washington, DC and New Yorks
Financial District, Tribeca and Brooklyn, are nothing if not joyful, exuberant exercises in freedom
and revolt. With this volume, Mayes moves forward from the portrayal of more liberated lifestyles
that she began in the 1960s with her pictures from San Franciscos Haight Ashbury and the music
counterculture to focus on a broader vista that encompasses our current cultural moment.

Robert Shults - The Superlative Light
Daylight 2014 ISBN 9780989798129 Acqn 23916
Pb 23x21cm 84pp 42ills 27.95

The Superlative Light presents a layperson's awestruck experience of the Texas Petawatt Laser,
an unparalleled research facility which produces the most powerful laser pulse anywhere in the
world. Texas-based photographer Robert Shults' series of images draws upon the visual
traditions of "grade B" science-fiction cinema in its exploration of a truly unique space where
some of the most extreme conditions in the universe are recreated, recasting real working
scientists as the heroes of an imaginary epic. The book features a scientific introduction by Dr.
Todd Ditmire, director of the Texas Petawatt at the University of Texas at Austin, as well as an
original science fiction story by award-winning author and mathematician Rudy Rucker.
Additionally, each copy of the volume includes a unique bookmark made from specialized laser
"burn paper" with an image etched directly onto its surface by the Texas Petawatt.

Barbara Yoshida - Moon Viewing
Marquand Books Inc. 2014 ISBN 9780988227576 Acqn 23321
Hb 23x29cm 78pp 31ills 30col 24.95

Megalithic monuments can be found across many countries, and their configuration varies widely.
Moon Viewing: Megaliths by Moonlight surveys the geographical distribution of these stones, from
Sweden in the north to West Africa in the south and Armenia in the east. The book is based on
Barbara Yoshidas ten years of travel and research and uses night photography to emphasize the
relationship of megalithic stones to stars and planets. Research has shown that some of the
stones were purposely aligned with the appearance of stars or planets at certain times of the
year. In Yoshidas night photographs, stars and planets are evidenced as "star trails"--white
streaks in the sky that show how much the earth moved during shooting. Augmenting the
photographs are an essay by renowned art critic Lucy Lippard and a foreword by acclaimed
photographer Linda Connor.

Anne Collier
Museum Of Contemporary Art Chicago 2014 ISBN 9781938922527 Acqn 23922
Hb 27x26cm 116pp 55col ills 24.50

New York-based conceptual photographer Anne Collier (born 1970) creates neutral images of
objects that already exist in the world, often charged with undercurrents of emotional complexity
and vulnerability. Her work deftly addresses subjects inherent to both the act and industry of
photography while simultaneously lampooning clichs and uncovering hidden truths. Describing
Collier's work in Frieze magazine, the acclaimed author and critic Brian Dillon wrote, "Collier
uncouples the machinery of appropriation so that her found images seem weightless, holding
their obvious meaning in abeyance." This volume, part of the MCA Monograph series,
accompanies the first major solo US exhibition of Collier's work. Alongside a selection of color
plates, Michael Darling, James W. Alsdorf Chief Curator at the MCA, reviews the works in the
exhibition within the context of the artist's career; Chrissie Iles, Anne and Joel Ehrenkranz curator
at the Whitney Museum of American Art, examines the artist's position within photographic and
cinematic history; and novelist Kate Zambreno considers the fragments of lost objects and what it
means to collect.

Osmos Magazine: Issue 04
Osmos 2014 ISBN 9780988340442 Acqn 23316
Pb 22x28cm 96pp 100ills 75col 17.50

The Osmos brand was initiated 15 years ago with a project space in Berlin and has since
developed into a fully integrated concept for curatorial and editorial activities. Currently, the
Osmos address is located at 50 East 1st Street, in a Manhattan East Village storefront that was
once a saloon frequented by Emma Goldman and other radicals. Former Parkett editor and
Fantom cofounder Cay Sophie Rabinowitz launched Osmos Magazine as a journal of texts and
image series created by practitioners and professionals investigating the uses and abuses of
photography. One outstanding feature is a critical approach to the cover, which acknowledges the
delayed effect of image capture or so-called "after image," by featuring an artist or work to be
discussed in the following issue. With a radical blend of arresting images, print quality and
distinctive design, Osmos Magazine is the most recognized publication in the market fostering
contemporary perspectives in photography as the medium crossing all creative industries and
practices-art, design, fashion and even advertising-at the core of our imagination. Current and
forthcoming issues feature Erica Baum, Carolyn Drake, Richard Hamilton, Keizo Kitajima, Duane
Michals, Elio Montinari, Anna Ostoya, Humphrey Spender and Christopher Williams, among
others.

Pb 16x20cm 116pp col ills 26.50

Collected and edited by Erik Kessels, this selection of photos pays tribute to one of photographys
most common mistakes: part of the photographers hand appearing in frame. Stray fingers mar
candid family snapshots, sunny beach holidays, visits to foreign cities, pristine landscapes and
historic architecture alike, demonstrating just how prevalent this amateur accident has been since
the advent of the handheld camera, right up into the digital age. At times humorous, the results
can also be poignant, or even ominous, as a looming shadow threatens to engulf the subject.
Towards the end of the book are the most extreme examples, where everything disappears in a
fleshy blur.

Many have focused on the universal theme of tourism through photography, not least the tourists
themselves. Returning with a snapshot of where one has been, like a trophy, often seems to be
the trips only goal. But the sharpest chroniclers of a phenomenon with harsh social realities
record it with brutality or irony, unusual elegance, or even humour. The exotic has been
disseminated everywhere, along with poor taste and the madness of the hurried need to have fun
in a specific time and place. Tourists no longer seek authenticity, but rather the stereotype the
artificial, like themselves. With works by 20 artists, including Rob Honstra, Massimo Vitali, Jordi
Bernad and Trish Morrissey.

Katja Eydel - Schattenfuge / Shadow Gap
Sternberg Press 2014 ISBN 9783956790584 Acqn 24202
Pb 23x29cm 184pp 85ills 80col 22.50

Contributions by Helmut Draxler, Clemens Krmmel, Ariane Mller, Kathrin Peters

This publication presents artist Katja Eydels photographic body of work. The photos were
selected for the book from her many series, and highlight a thematic continuity and visual
language that position her work. The individual projects focus on different environments that are
often characterized by crisismostly dealing with communities and their fringes, with proxies and
symbolic representations, as manifested, for example, in forms of protest or religious garments.

In Eydels images, modes of human coexistence form into spatial structures and social
frameworks. The visual order of these aesthetic surfaces leads to conclusions about underlying
notions and theories; as such, they always also refer to the identities of individuals and possible
alternatives to reality. The ostensible objectivity of Eydels photographic language opens up a
crucial space for the viewers. The representation of reality and the spatial logic of the image as a
representative instrument are also questioned.
