helley Rice. 'Evidential images of the world, throw off your chains and dance!' --David Levi Strauss. 'Larry Sultan and Mike Mandel's enormously influential 1977 volume of found institutional photographs...' --Flash Art. In 1977 photographers Larry Sultan and Mike Mandel sifted through thousands of photographs in the files of the Bechtel Corporation, the Beverly Hills Police Department, the Jet Propulsion Laboratories, the U.S. Department of the Interior, Stanford Research Institute and a hundred other corporations, American government agencies, and educational, medical and technical institutions. They were looking for photographs that were made and used as transparent documents and purely objective instruments--as evidence, in short. Selecting 50 of the best, they printed these images with the care you would expect to find in a high-quality art photography book, publishing them in a simple, limited-edition volume titled Evidence. The concept for the book was clear: select photographs intended to be used as objective evidence and show that it is never that simple. Now an undisputed classic in the photo world, considered a seminal harbinger of conceptual photography, Evidence is nearly impossible to find. This new edition is being published in recognition of the project's continued relevance, and will contain a facsimile copy of the original book plus a newly commissioned scholarly essay by Sandra Phillips of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Additionally, this edition will include a new spread of images and a group of black-and-white illustrations selected by the artists from an archive of photographs that were not included in the original book."

eate unparalleled intensity and range in the colors, and exquisite tone and density within the duotone images. Bound by the official bindery for the Vatican, in pink leather, the color of Ali's first Cadillac. The bindery specializing in the most elaborate and oversized editions of the Koran and the Bible enforces the strictest standards of quality control and only several hundred copies can be assembled per week.? (Antiq. Borelli). - From the publisher: " Muhammad Ali is one of the most remarkable personalities of our time and the greatest sportsman ever to walk the earth. To honor this living legend, Taschen has created a work that is epic in scale and as unique and vibrant as the man himself. A worthy tribute to his life should reflect the scale of his achievements, and GOAT - Greatest of All Time is fully up to that task. Four years in the making, and the most comprehensive study of Ali to date, GOAT tips the scales at 34 kgs (75 lbs) and is 50 cm x 50 cm (20" x 20") in size. Nearly 800 pages of archival and original photographs, graphic artwork, articles and essays - many of them previously unpublished - chronicle six decades of his life in stunning detail. To cap it all, the project takes place with the participation of Ali himself and those members of his inner circle who have been closest to him over the years: from managers and key cornermen to friends, family and children; from spiritual and other advisers to broadcasters, essayists and journalists. Motivating this endeavor is the conviction that Ali is not just a figure from the past, but one whose influence even today pervades everyday popular culture. The merest glance at the world of sports and music, for example, reveals his psychic DNA on everything from the lyrics and style of rap music to the way sports figures represent themselves. More significantly, his actions outside of the boxing ring still speak even louder than the verbal outrageousness of his pre-fight spectacles. He is a man who stood by his convictions, and took a highly unpopular stance at the peak of his career in a country not yet ready for radical change. He risked everything - his title, his livelihood,and his status - and in the process emerged as a man of principle and indeed, a hero for all time. No stone has been left unturned in telling this remarkable story: the book features written contributions from hundreds of writers and photographers, as well as over 3,000 photographs of Ali's dazzling life. Plus Ali's own insights, writings and drawings, and reproductions of fight posters and classic memorabilia. After the enormous success of Helmut Newton's megabook, SUMO, publisher Benedikt Taschen felt that his next challenge lay not only in creating a work that had multiple sources and extraordinary photography, but one where the emphasis on the written word, narrative and research would be on par with that of the most comprehensive literary biographies. In short, matching meticulously crafted prose with incredible color and black-and-white photography. In addition, new work - commissioned from artist Jeff Koons - gives the Ali mythology a 21st-century edge and an entirely contemporary." - Nur Kurztitelaufnahme 03.2006.

Jahrh. - uv / Text dt., engl. - ?Nachdem von Christian Vogt längere Zeit keine eigenständigen Veröffentlichungen erschienen sind, meldet er sich nun mit einem Katalog (zur Ausstellung im Schweizerischen Architekturmuseum) zurück, der vier seiner neueren konzeptionellen Serien zeigt. Vogt setzt mit dem fotografierten Raum auseinander: Mit drei Polaroids zeigt er wie sich ein Bild für den Betrachter ändert, wenn er um den geschichtlichen Kontext weiß, konkret zeigt er den Saal eines Gasthauses, in dem Lenin 1916 eine Rede hielt, er zeigt das Wohnzimmer in der letzten Wohnung Paul Klees und einen Raum der Wohnung, die Erich Fromm in seinen letzten Lebensjahren bewohnte. In der zweiten Serie nimmt Vogts Kamera die Perspektive von Zugreisenden ein. Da er von einem ruhenden Punkt aus fotografiert, entsteht ein ganz neuer Blick auf die Landschaft, die hier eben nicht "vorbeifliegt". In den "Garagenbildern" werden Räume zu Flächen. Die Garage sind zweifarbig gestrichen und die Linie zwischen zwei Farbtönen werden bei Vogt zur Horizontlinie. Dadurch kann der Betrachter die Bilder zwischen Raum und Fläche changieren lassen. Diese Serie wurde durch die späten Stillleben Giorgio Morandis angeregt. Die abschließende Serie des Bandes zeigt Naturfotografien ohne Horizont und ohne Farbigkeit. Hier scheint es nur Vordergrund zu geben und durch die Fehlen der Farbe lassen sich die Pflanzen auch nicht geographisch einordnen. Es wird deutlich, dass was wir sehen ganz erheblich von Kontexten bestimmt wird.? (Buchh. Lindemann Stuttgart, 08.2006). - Nur Kurztitelaufnahme 08.2006. / print this entry
