Beschrijving van een psychoanalytische behandeling.

LHTB'ers uit de hele wereld strijken in de maand augustus massaal in Amsterdam neer voor de Gay Pride, de Drag Queen Olympics en de Hartjesdagen. De regenboogvlag gaat uit en tijdens de botenparade is iedereen 'pretty in pink'. De feestmaand is pas voorbij nadat extravagant uitgedoste drag queens over de Zeedijk hebben geparadeerd tijdens het eeuwenoude volksfeest Hartjesdag. Fotografe Shirley Agudo raakte gefascineerd door deze uitbundige en vrijgevochten manifestaties. Ze fotografeerde jarenlang de bezoekers van de festiviteiten en toont in het tweetalige boek 'Amsterdam Streethearts' hun flamboyante uitdossingen. Backstage mocht zij ook van dichtbij het proces van de transformatie volgen en dat zien we hier voor het eerst in boekvorm.

"Ze zijn op de vingers van één hand te tellen, de sportieve evenementen van wereldklasse die ontstonden eind negentiende, begin twintigste eeuw en nu nog elk jaar plaatsvinden: Milaan-San Remo, De Ronde van Vlaanderen, Parijs-Roubaix, Luik-Bastenaken-Luik, De Ronde van Lombardije. Slechts drie coureurs wonnen ze allemaal, deze wedstrijden die aan de wieg liggen van het wielrennen. Alle drie Vlaming: Eddy Merckx (hij won er 19), Rik Van Looy (8) en Roger De Vlaeminck (11). Het zijn sportmensen van vlees en bloed die deze klassiekers tot monumenten uit de sportgeschiedenis hebben gemaakt: Sean Kelly, Fred De Bruyne, Hennie Kuiper, Coppi, Bartali, Moser, Argentin, Poulidor, Fignon, Hinault, Cancellara, Boonen, Valverde. Goed een eeuw na het ontstaan van deze vijf wielermonumenten is de tijd rijp om het sportieve en historische rapport ervan te maken en de geschiedenis haarfijn te reconstrueren. Philippe Vandenbergh volgt als journalist van 'La Libre Belgique' al meer dan een kwarteeuw de grote wielerklassiekers op de voet. Hij heeft een passie voor klassementen, omdat hij vindt dat de overwinning van een 23ste Ronde van Vlaanderen evenveel waard is als de 100ste"--Page 4 of cover.

Willem Frederik Hermans koesterde een grote belangstelling voor de kunst en het ambacht van de fotografie. Decennialang was hij zelf actief als fotograaf en ook schreef hij geregeld over het onderwerp. Hermans had daarnaast een voorliefde voor de collagetechniek. Hij knipte illustraties uit tijdschriften en kranten om er, vaak in combinatie met eigen foto's, absurdistische collages van te maken. Hoewel hij maar spaarzaam foto's en collages publiceerde, verschenen er in de laatste jaren van Hermans' schrijverschap toch drie titels waarin dergelijk beeldend werk was verzameld: 'Koningin Eenoog' (1986), dat een keuze uit zijn foto's uit de periode 1948-1985 bevatte, 'Het hoedenparadijs' (1991), een selectie van zijn collages, en de bijzondere fotokaartenset 'Een foto uit eigen doos!' (1994). In dit achttiende deel van de 'Volledige Werken' zijn deze titels voor het eerst in één band bijeengebracht. Het deel opent met 'Fotobiografie' (1969), Hermans' autobiografie in foto's en documenten.

"This publication accompanies Fondation Beyeler?s survey on the great photographic innovator Wolfgang Tillmans (born 1968). Tillmans first made a name for himself in the early 1990s, with photographs that captured an entire generation and a youth culture of which he was part, and which are now iconic images of that era. However, he quickly expanded his focus, creating works with and without a camera, producing photographs printed as C-prints on photographic paper, as inkjet prints on paper, or as photocopies. Some of these photographs acquire a sculptural, objectlike quality. Tillmans has also developed new compositional and formal, anti-hierarchical ways of installing his pictures in spaces. This substantial volume offers a comprehensive overview of his achievements."

The photographs that Chris Killip (born 1946) took in Northern England between 1973 and 1985 were first published by Secker & Warburg as In Flagrante in 1988, a volume that quickly established itself as the most important 1980s photobook on England and a classic of the genre. Compassionate but unwavering in its gaze, In Flagrante documented industrial Northern England in decline, suffering from the aftershocks of neoliberal economic strategies most brutally embodied in the policies of Margaret Thatcher. "The objective history of England doesn't amount to much if you don't believe in it, and I don't," reflects Killip. "And I don't believe that anyone in these photographs does either, as they face the reality of deindustrialization in a system which regards their lives as disposable."
Chris Killip: In Flagrante Two revisits the classic photobook with a beautifully produced, radically updated presentation: each double-page spread features a single image on the right side. Strident in its belief in the primacy and power of the photographic image, In Flagrante Two allows for and embraces ambiguities and contradictions arising from the unadorned narrative sequence, completely devoid of text--forcing viewers to truly look, to witness.

"In 1677 moet uitgever en boekverkoper Timotheus ten Hoorn zich bij de schout melden om zich te verantwoorden voor de illustraties in het boek 'De dwaalende hoer'. Driehonderd jaar later verschijnen tijdschriften als 'Big boobs' en 'Cocky' in oplages van meer dan 100.000 exemplaren. Wat ooit begon met een stel vieze boekjes die alleen onder de toonbank verkocht werden, groeide uit tot een ware industrie van seksblaadjes die open en bloot bij de sigarenboer verkrijgbaar waren. Maar hoe veranderde 'De dwaalende hoer' (1677) in 'Chick' (1968-2009) of 'Candy' (1968-2016)? Aan de hand van prachtige, opruiende en prikkelende illustraties vertelt 'Onder de toonbank' de geschiedenis van de Nederlandse erotica en pornografie. Experts als Inger Leemans, Marita Mathijsen en Bert Sliggers nemen de belangrijkste bloeiperiodes van de Nederlandse porno onder de loep. Tegelijk is er aandacht voor thema's als pornografische strips, homo-erotica en kolonialisme in de pornografie." Exhibition: Museum Meermanno, The Hague, The Netherlands (22.3-24.6.2018)

Het boek omspant een periode van meer dan honderd jaar wereldgeschiedenis, van 1850 tot 1960, van koningin Victoria tot de moord op president Kennedy. De 200 iconische foto's tonen de opkomst en ondergang van wereldrijken, mijlpalen van wetenschap, industrie en kunst, oorlogstragedies en vredestichters. Kortom: de levens van mannen en vrouwen die de geschiedenis hebben gevormd. Doordat de foto's door Marina Amaral op historisch verantwoorde wijze ingekleurd zijn, komt het verleden soms griezelig dichtbij.

This first volume in a major new series of illustrated biographies of Magnum photographers traces the life and achievements of Eve Arnold, who captured an incredible array of subjects with remarkable clarity and compassion. Eve Arnold (1912–2012) was born to a poor immigrant family in Philadelphia and became a photographer by chance. In 1950 Arnold was a 38-year-old Long Island housewife when she enrolled in a six-week photography course that led to her groundbreaking photo essay on black fashion models in Harlem. She went on to become the first woman to join Magnum Photos and, eventually, one of the most accomplished photojournalists of her time. Filled with reproductions of Arnold’s acclaimed photographs, shot in both color and black and white, as well as previously unseen archival images, this biography relates Arnold’s bold images to the fascinating story of their making. Renowned for her intimate portraits of figures such as Marilyn Monroe, Malcolm X, and Queen Elizabeth, Arnold was equally comfortable documenting the lives of the poor and dispossessed. "I don’t see anybody as either ordinary or extraordinary. I see them simply as people in front of my lens." To her images of migrant workers, disabled veterans, and protesters for civil rights in the US and against apartheid in South Africa, she brought an unflinching eye and a strong sense of social justice. This highly engrossing narrative tells a compelling story of an intrepid artist whose life’s purpose was to report on the lives of others.

Presenting a selection of more than 300 photographs from the large and important collection of the Rijksmuseum, New Realities provides an impressive overview of the international development of photography. Major highlights include the earliest travel photos, motion studies by Eadweard Muybridge, advertising photography, portraiture, scenes of everyday life, the earliest photograph taken in Suriname and amazing shots that were made by microscopes and telescopes.

The invention of photography in 1839 led to a revolution in visual culture: photography both portrayed and created the modern world. For the first time, it was possible to depict and unlock every facet of that world. Photography secured a position in every field: in science, the arts, daily life and news reportage. New Realities conveys the dizzying breadth of its impact across cultures and disciplines.

One of the most influential figures of his time, today Mapplethorpe (1946-1989) stands as an example to emerging photographers who continue to experiment with the boundaries of acceptability and concepts of the beautiful.

Het is 1594. Het stoerste verhaal van onze geschiedenis wordt geschreven: een schip komt vast zitten in het ijs en de bemanning overwintert in de barre poolnacht.

This publication highlights over 70 hidden gems from the Wingender collection, one of the most comprehensive collections of Dutch photobooks today. Since 1956 Jan Wingender accumulated 7000 photobooks, ranging from the 19th century to now. The collection comprises sought-after artist books by such photographers as Ed van der Elsken and Eva Besnyö, as well as rare vernacular publications such as photographically illustrated company books, schoolbooks, and political pamphlets. As such it offers an overview of a rapidly transforming visual culture in the Netherlands, and makes the development of applied Dutch photography insightful. The collection was acquired by the Nederlands Fotomuseum in 2013.

Walker Evans's radical photography of the 1930s demonstrated that unembellished photographic fact could serve as a highly poetic language. These works expanded the potential of the art of photography and at the same time defined a lasting iconography that recognized advertising, movies, and car culture as central images of modern American identity. Published in conjunction with the second of three cycles of millennial exhibitions (MoMA2000) at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, this book focuses on Evans as a central figure in the arts of the 1920s and 1930s.

This superbly illustrated volume includes works in photography and other mediums that influenced Evans or were influenced by him, or which resonate in a significant way with aspects of his imagery, sensibility, and style. Among the other artists whose work is featured are: Eugene Atget, Mathew Brady, Stuart Davis, Robert Frank, Lee Friedlander, Edward Hopper, Roy Lichtenstein, Ed Ruscha, August Sander, Andy Warhol, and Edward Weston.

Volume 3: "Since the invention of photography, legions of practitioners have mined its artistic and practical potential, paying particular attention to its novel depiction of space and time, its utility as a tool for documentation and exploration, and its distinctive take on modernism and modernity. This volume explores the ways in which this new medium -- photography -- and this new apparatus -- the camera -- evolved during its first century, from the masterworks of William Henry Fox Talbot, one of photography’s inventors, to the portraits of Julia Margaret Cameron, Nadar, and Gertrude Käsebier; the motion studies of Eadweard Muybridge; surveys of landscape and architecture by American and European practitioners; the documentary images of Carleton Watkins, Eugène Atget, and Lewis Hine; and the modernist works of Karl Blossfeldt, Edward Steichen, and Paul Strand. This publication provides a wide-ranging look at a medium so thoroughly and instantly modern that it is represented in MoMA’s collection by works that predate any of the Museum’s paintings or sculptures by a full forty years. And now, more than 175 years later, the modern spirit of early photography remains intact, and Photography at MoMA: 1840 to 1920 provides a record of its contradictions, aspirations, and achievements. This is the final volume in the three-volume Photography at MoMA series, which draws upon the exceptional depth of the Museum's collection to tell a new history of photography."--Publisher website.

Eve Arnold, born in 1912 to Russian immigrant parents in Philadelphia, died in London in 2012 shortly before her 100th birthday. One of the great women photographers of the 20th century, Eve Arnold joined the legendary Magnum agency in 1951 and became its first full female member in 1957. Published in honor of her 100th birthday and in memory of the grande dame of photojournalism, this lavishly illustrated monograph is a collection of Eve Arnold's most famous photo documentaries. Accompanied by her commentaries, these include New York by Night, Fashion Shows in Harlem (1950), A Baby's Momentous First Five Minutes, Haiti Voodoo, and Malcolm X, as well as her travel photographs from Afghanistan (from the late 60s), China and India (circa 1980), and her legendary portraits of Marilyn Monroe, Marlene Dietrich, Joan Crawford, Isabella Rossellini, Clark Gable, Peter O'Toole, and Anthony Quinn.

Robert Mapplethorpe's wide, provocative and powerful body of work has established him as one of the most important artists of the twentieth century. The American photographer is mostly known for images that simultaneously challenge and adhere to classical aesthetic standards: stylised compositions of male and female nudes, delicate flower still lifes and studio portraits of artists and celebrities, to list a few of his preferred genres. Since 1977 Germano Celant has come in contact with Robert Mapplethorpe, realising interviews and writing essays on the occasion of several publications and exhibitions. For the first time, this volume gathers the complete anthology of Celant's writings on the artist: from the 1983 exhibition at Palazzo Fortuny, Venice, projected with the collaboration of the artist himself, to the posthumous writings published in the catalogues prepared on the occasion of the exhibitions at the Guggenheim Museum, New York and the Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg since 1990. This book, through over 140 images and texts that appear both personal and scientific, aims to pay tribute to Robert Mapplethorpe's contribution to the history of photography.
