"Few events from recent German history are so deeply engraved in the country's collective memory as John F. Kennedy's visit in 1963. At the behest of the illustrated magazine Quick, the Hamburg photographer Ulrich Mack accompanied the entire trip with his camera. His photographs are important historical documents, reflecting the emotional atmosphere of those four days in June. Marking the 50th anniversary of the event, this book presents the best pictures from Mack's largely unpublished coverage"--P. of cover.

A native of Cuba & long time resident of Miami, this photographer went to Latin America to look for his roots. These perfectly composed black & white photographs are witnesses to the vastness & diversity of the Latin American world that he perceived. They portray a peacefulness, even if it is a temporary one that transcends the various regions' political lives & instead requires contemplation, attention to detail & nuance.

Fred Herzog is known for his unusual use of colour in the fifties and sixties, a time when art photography was almost exclusively associated with black and white imagery. The Canadian photographer worked almost exclusively with Kodachrome slide film for over 50 years, and only in the past decade has technology allowed him to make archival pigment prints that match the exceptional color and intensity of the Kodachrome slide. In this respect, his photographs can be seen as a pre-figuration of the New Color photographers of the seventies. This book will bring together over 230 images, many never before reproduced, and will feature essays by acclaimed authors David Campany and Hans-Michael Koetzle. Fred Herzog will be the most comprehensive publication on this important photographer to date.

Around 1930, the trained physician and self-taught photographer Dr. Paul Wolff (1887-1951) was among the most successful German photographers. He positioned himself at an early stage as a pioneer of the Leica and achieved international renown through his highly-regarded guidebooks. Together with his business partner Alfred Tritschler, Wolff satisfied the pictorial desires of his time: from architecture photography to advertising and illustration, from reportage to propaganda. Up to the end of the war, Dr. Paul Wolff & Tritschler was a brand with its seat in Frankfurt am Main and set standards in the then still young field of industrial photography. The first comprehensive book on Wolff and Tritschler recapitulates the work and careers of both photographers against the backdrop of a politically, socially, and artistically turbulent period and thus closes a gap in the discourse on photography in the 1920s to 1940s.

More than 400 entries, each with a biographical sketch, sample photographs, a list of selected exhibitions, and a bibliography.

Eyes on Paris shows how artists engaged in photography (French and immigrants alike) saw, experienced and captured Paris with the camera. The artists' gaze oscillates between documentary interest and subjective perception, a chronicler's duty and the projection of personal feelings. Around 400 photographic works by important representatives of 20th-century photography enter into a dialog with epoch-making books, portfolios or rare portfolio works. After all, no other city in the world has been the subject of as many outstanding publications as has Paris: from Atget to Ed van der Elsken, from Robert Doisneau to William Klein--(from Publisher'd description).
