Autobiography of Addison Mizner, the esteemed and celebrated architect of Palm Beach. Born into an extraordinary family clan, Addison enjoyed the exploits of his early years before distinguishing himself as a remarkable figure of his time. This memoir reveals his early life in affluent, late nineteenth century California, his experiences in central America and his more adventurous times as a gold prospector in the Yukon. After further travels in Hawaii, Addison ends up in Australia and China before arriving in New York and reentering the life he was born to. Throughout his life, wherever he found himself, Mizner shows his eye for detail and flair for design and architecture. In the touching last chapter, Mizner details the hilarious last month's of his mother's life and realizes what it means to be a Mizner.

From simple beginnings, Amalia Kussner rose to fame as a talented and bold artist and ultimately became one of the most sought-after miniature portrait painters of the Gilded Age. At a time when the use of photography was on the rise, many still loved miniatures, which had a feeling and soul to them that photos could not duplicate. Miniatures could be worn as jewelry or carried between winter and summer homes and easily set out on display. Amalia's portraits provided a grandeur that matched how the Gilded Age elite perceived themselves: as royalty.Yet no female portrait artists had the notoriety or esteemed clientèle that Amalia did. Her subjects included members of the Astor family, Consuelo Vanderbilt, "dollar heiress" Minnie Paget, England's Edward VII, Russia's Czar Nicholas II and Alexandra, and diamond mine magnate Cecil Rhodes. At the height of her career, from the mid-1890s to early 1910, having a Kussner miniature was just as important an accessory as owning fine jewelry or a mansion in Newport. "Famous sitters, drawn to her by the accuracy and skill of her brush, never failed to become life-long friends," read her obituary.Amalia's style was also provocative for the late Victorian period. Her subjects were draped in off-the-shoulder fabrics, with their hair loosely pinned around their heads and tendrils framing their faces, and she often took the liberty to enhance their beauty. Amalia kept the women's best features but gave them an almost mythical appearance, akin to the fairy queen Titania in A Midsummer Night's Dream.Amalia has been included, along with other nineteenth-century women artists, in the "first wave of feminism," in large part because she commanded very high commissions, comparable to male artists of the time. She was fascinating and sometimes mysterious-particularly with regard to her marriage to lawyer Charles du Pont Coudert-and her journey included not only fame and fortune, but also a few lawsuits, scandals, and lies.

New from the popular In the Moment series-in search of the darkest night skies, Anna Levin uncovers a sense of wonder about the universe that will help you to understand more about our own pale blue dot.The darkness of the night represents something unknowable and mysterious. But when we look up, we can find celestial light shows, whole galaxies, and even a new perspective on our Earthly concerns. The night sky offers us an essential connection to something bigger than ourselves, a vast, timeless expanse that extinguishes our individual concerns.Humans have tried to make sense of the night sky since ancient times. From physicists and meteorologists to astrologists, artists, philosophers and poets, it has been a source of inspiration, wonder, and exploration. But now, our relationship to the night sky is changing as our access to darkness is under threat. Light pollution all over Earth can be seen from space, altering the landscape and outlining the coasts. And if we look from Earth into space, we can see artificial light there, too.In this concise volume, Anna Levin looks at how we can learn from and nurture our relationship with the night sky, even-especially-in the context of our changing world.

Im Rahmen der vierten Fotografischen Ermittlung Neuenburg 2023-2024 tauchte Laurence Rasti ins Gefängnis La Promenade in La Chaux-de-Fonds ein. Dort traf sie auf Lebenswege, die grösstenteils von Prekariat und Exil geprägt sind. Die Fotografin tauscht sich mit Häftlingen, Forscherinnen und Theoretikern aus und hinterfragt eine Haft, die eher auf Armut als auf Verbrechen ausgerichtet zu sein scheint. Rastis Recherche basiert auf einem künstlerischen und kollaborativen Ansatz, bei dem die Insassen selbst mit Lochkameras Bilder aufnehmen und Interviews transkribieren. Es stehen die Betroffenen selbst im Mittelpunkt dieser fotografischen Arbeit, die über Zusammenhänge zwischen Gefängnis, Prekariat und Migration reflektiert. Über Themen also, die im Fall eines Gefängnisses wie dem La Promenade in La Chaux-de- Fonds eng miteinander verbunden und von grosser gesellschaftlicher Bedeutung sind.

Ein großes Werk und Langzeitprojekt ist vollendet: TASCHEN freut sich, mit Good News und Lost + Found die auf fünf Bände angelegte David-LaChapelle-Anthologie komplettieren zu können, die mit LaChapelle Land (1996) begann und mit Hotel LaChapelle (1999) und Heaven to Hell (2006) fortgesetzt wurde. Beide Bände zeigen Hunderte von Arbeiten des Künstlers, der wie kein anderer Zitate aus Religion, Porno, Kunst- und Popgeschichte zu einer unverwechselbaren, hochartifiziellen Ästhetik amalgamiert und in seinen surrealen Inszenierungen und grellbunten, opulenten Arrangements stets auch Themen wie Konsum- und Körperfetischismus, Genderfragen und Spiritualität verhandelt. Good News steht eindeutig im Zeichen des Sakralen , von frühen Aufnahmen nackter Engel und Liebender aus dem New York der 1980er bis zu ganz aktuellen Bildern, auf denen sich LaChapelles Refugium auf Hawaii in einen trippigen Garten Eden und Celebrities in Heilige verwandeln. Ebenfalls zu sehen: Beispiele aus anderen jüngeren Werkgruppen wie Earth Laughs In Flowers oder Awakened , die die vielen Facetten seiner Kunst widerspiegeln. In Good News sind zu sehen: frühe Akte aus den 1980ern in NYC, Pamela Anderson, Lana Del Rey, Sharon Gault, Janet Jackson, Michael Jackson, Paris Jackson, David LaChapelle, Amanda Lepore, Miriam Makeba, Sergei Polunin, Tupac Shakur, Elizabeth Taylor und viele andere ...

TASCHEN freut sich, Lost + Found und Good News von Bilderstürmer und Ausnahmefotograf David LaChapelle präsentieren zu dürfen. Die Bücher bilden den vierten und fünften Teil seiner fünfbändigen Anthologie , die mit LaChapelle Land (1996) begann und kurz darauf mit Hotel LaChapelle (1999) und später mit Heaven to Hell (2006) fortgesetzt wurde. Ein großer Teil der Werke entstand nach der Auszeit, die sich LaChapelle 2006 in einer von ihm gekauften ehemaligen Nudistenkolonie auf Hawaii nahm. Celebrities waren danach immer noch seine Peergroup und die In-Crowd der place to be , aber statt der Titelseiten von Interview, Vanity Fair, i-D oder Vogue rückten nach seiner künstlerischen Rekalibrierung nun Galerien und Museen in den Fokus. Es entstanden Werkgruppen wie Landscapes , in der er aus Pappe und Abfall gebaute Modelle von Industrieanlagen in leuchtende, acidfarbene Glitzerwelten verwandelte, Earth Laughs In Flowers , in der sich Handys, Zigarettenkippen und zerknüllte Plastikflaschen in altmeisterlichen Blumenstillleben verstecken, oder Gas , die gespenstisch illuminierte Tankstellen in gründunklen Dschungeln aufglühen lässt. Aber keine Angst, die Promidichte ist in Lost + Found überaus beeindruckend, und ja, Miley Cyrus ist nackt . In Lost + Found sind zu sehen: Pamela Anderson, Julian Assange, Isabella Blow, David Bowie, Naomi Campbell, Hillary Clinton, Frances Bean Cobain, Miley Cyrus, Lana Del Rey, Lady Gaga, Sharon Gault, Daphne Guinness, Whitney Houston, Kris Jenner, Kendall Jenner, Bruce Jenner, Kylie Jenner, Dwayne Johnson, Khloe Kardashian, Kim Kardashian, Eartha Kitt, David LaChapelle, Amanda Lepore, Nicki Minaj, Katy Perry, Sergei Polunin, Keith Richards, Rihanna, Chris Rock, Amber Rose, Britney Spears, Uma Thurman, Andy Warhol, Kanye West, Pharrell Williams, Amy Winehouse und viele andere ...

Over the last decade Yemen has been the scene of warfare involving the employment of advanced air delivered weapons of Western origin by Saudi Arabia, of insurgent warfare conducted by al-Qaeda, of improvised 'technicals', and of ballistic missiles. As a result of this ongoing conflict, Yemen has become the scene of what the United Nations have described as one of the worst ongoing humanitarian disasters of modern times and in which tens of thousands of people have died and millions have been displaced.At the time of writing Yemen has again attracted international attention as tensions in the Red Sea grow following Houthi attacks on international shipping and the consequent responses of the USA and Great Britain.In Unfinished War: A Journey through Yemen's Civil War, Egyptian photojournalist Asmaa Waguih takes us on a remarkable visual tour of Yemen, once thought of as a beautiful and mysterious land that was the realm of the Queen of Sheba, with over 150 full color photographs contrasting scenes of everyday life for the people of this nation with the effects of an ongoing conflict between rival Yemeni factions, regional powers and their proxies.

Best known for her work documenting the political upheaval in Central America during the 1970s and 80s, American photographer Susan Meiselas has been at the forefront of ethical debates around documentary photography for most of her career. Through close engagement with subjects such as war and exploitation, she has interrogated her own relationship to what she's photographing, the circulation and dissemination of these images, and the pivotal questions around social and cultural representation and memory. Her influential contribution to the way audiences approach and engage with photography is as vital and resonant today as it was 40 years ago. This new addition to the Photofile series also includes short texts by Meiselas herself accompanying each work in the volume.

The award-winning Magnum photographer turns his lens on his homeland, Belgium. Born in Belgium in 1941, Harry Gruyaert was one of the first European photographers to take advantage of colour, following in the footsteps of US pioneers like William Eggleston and Stephen Shore. Heavily influenced by Pop Art, his dense compositions are known for weaving together texture, light, colour and architecture to create filmic, jewel-hued tableaux. As a result, they often seem closer to painting than to photography. Although his wanderlust has taken him to many exotic locations, Gruyaert has frequently returned to his country of birth. Here, in the homeland that he had considered so desolate in his younger years, he found an unexpected beauty. Urban lighting, neon storefronts, glimpses behind suburban dwellings, passers-by wandering drunkenly home, ports that never sleep, countryside with seemingly infinite horizons: his lens captures the singularity of his nation, portraying everyday life in a way that unfolds like a hyper-realistic film set. As a counterpoint to these more recent colour photographs, three portfolios of black-and-white images taken in the 1970s punctuate this visual immersion and journey through the lowlands.

Photographer and war reporter Robert Capa (1913-54) is a legend of photojournalism, and his work, widely recognized and sometimes controversial, shaped the history of the medium. Born Endre Friedmann to Jewish parents in Budapest, he left Hungary in the early 1930s and took the pseudonym Robert Capa, believing that it was easier to sell his work with an American-sounding name. He went on to cover the major events of the mid-20th century: from the rise of Front Populaire in France to the Spanish Civil War, the Second World War and Indochina, where he was killed by a landmine. This retrospective uses both iconic and rarely-seen images to retrace the story of Capa's life, delving into archives and presenting not only the original photographs but also the magazine features in which they first appeared, to offer valuable context and connection. Charismatic and committed, Capa redefined what it was to be a photojournalist, and his unforgettable images have lost none of their power to fascinate.

"Although never formally diagnosed, Frank Merritt was on the autistic spectrum. He was also dyslexic and it was rare for him to write anything down. When he was called up for National Service in the 1950s, during the Korean War, he could have deferred, as he was a farmer's son and farming a reserved occupation. Feeling it was his duty to serve, he joined the Royal Engineers. When Frank arrived on the frontline in Korea to join 55 Independent Field Squadron, 28th Field Engineer Regiment, they didn't know what to do with him. Frank was unconventional and rebellious, and upon discovery of his keen interest in photography he was appointed the unit's photographer. Frank took it upon himself to explore Korea, believing in the 'join the army and see the world' motto. He'd frequently wander off alone with his Leotax camera, in an active war zone, oblivious to the danger. The Koreans he encountered were often surprised to see a UN soldier strolling through their villages and farms unarmed and taking photos. Frank went into places that were off limits due to enemy activity, taking candid photographs of ordinary Koreans going about their daily lives despite the war."--

Explores the evolution of snapshot photography from Victorian times to the digital age.The arrival of the first snapshot camera in Victorian times bred a new kind of photographer, one who might never before have thought of owning a camera, but for whom the ability to take pictures without any previous experience offered a new liberation. The way snapshot cameras and the pictures they took evolved through the following years and into today's digital age is what this book is all about. With more than 200 mono pictures and sixteen pages of colour, it examines how different types of snapshot camera opened up opportunities to shoot new kinds of picture; reveals the dubious way in which snapshot photographers were once perceived; shows how to identify where and when certain snapshots were taken; looks at the role of professional snapshot photographers; examines the part snapshots have played in social history; and explains why yesterday's snapshots are still so important today.
