    Sebastião Salgados Fotobuch-Klassiker Arbeiter. Zur Archäologie des Industriezeitalters (Erstausgabe 1993) würdigt die traditionellen handwerklichen Arbeitsweisen, während zu Beginn des neuen Jahrtausends überall in der Welt Maschinen und Computer die Arbeit der Menschen übernehmen. Mit Bildern von beeindruckender Schönheit hat Salgado eine visuelle Elegie komponiert, mit der er jene Männer und Frauen ehrt, die sich ihren unbeugsamen Geist und ihre Würde selbst unter härtesten Arbeitsbedingungen bewahren. Mehr als bei jedem anderen lebenden Fotografen sind bei Sebastião Salgado die Bilder von den Vergessenen, den Elenden und den Ausgegrenzten der Welt eine Hommage an die conditio humana. Salgado definiert seine Arbeit als "kämpferische Fotografie", die dem "besseren Verständnis des Menschseins" gewidmet ist. Über Jahrzehnte hinweg hat er in seinen Fotografien den Armen und Entrechteten etwas von der Menschenwürde zurückgegeben, die sie zu verlieren drohten - von den Hungernden in der Sahelzone bis zu den indigenen Völkern Südamerikas. Mit dem Band Arbeiter legt Salgado ein globales Bildepos vor, das über das bloße Abbilden hinausgeht und zu einer Hymne auf den Widerstandsgeist arbeitender Männer und Frauen wird. 350 Duoton-Fotografien eröffnen eine archäologische Perspektive auf diejenigen Tätigkeiten, die von der Steinzeit über die industrielle Revolution bis in unsere Gegenwart als Inbegriff harter Arbeit gelten. Mit Bildern aus dem Inferno einer indonesischen Schwefelmine, von der Dramatik des traditionellen sizilianischen Thunfischfangs und der schwindelerregenden Ausdauer brasilianischer Goldgräber legt Salgado Schichten visueller Informationen frei, um die unermüdliche menschliche Arbeit als Kern der modernen Zivilisation zu enthüllen. Arbeiter präsentiert sein Thema auf mehreren sich gegenseitig durchdringenden Ebenen: Salgados einleitender Text, entstanden in Zusammenarbeit mit dem brasilianischen Schriftsteller Eric Nepomuceno, erläutert seine leidenschaftliche fotografische Ikonografie. Ausführliche Bildunterschriften, die ebenfalls von Salgado stammen, liefern den historischen und faktischen Hintergrund. Das Buch ist eine von Offenheit und Respekt getragene Hommage an diejenigen Menschen, die mit ihren eigenen Händen, mit der Kraft ihres eigenen Körpers arbeiten.

    Julian Schnabel macht Kunst aus dem Leben und findet seine Materialien in der Struktur des Alltags. Er verwendet zerbrochene Teller als unpraktischen Bildgrund, malt auf Samt, Planen von Marktständen und Armeefahrzeugen, Kabuki-Theaterkulissen oder dem Boden eines Boxrings - Oberflächen, die ihre jeweils eigene Geschichte in das Bild mit einbringen. Der Erfolg kam für Schnabel über Nacht mit seiner ersten New Yorker Einzelausstellung im Jahr 1979 und seitdem ist sein Name ein Synonym für die Rückkehr der totgesagten Gattung der Malerei in die zeitgenössische Kunst. Dabei hat er in einer Vielzahl von Medien gearbeitet: Seine Skulpturen erweitern die malerischen Formen der Bilder als grob gehauene, scheinbar abgenutzte Artefakte in den Raum. Als Regisseur von preisgekrönten Kinofilmen portraitiert er Künstler wie Basquiat, van Gogh und andere subtil-heroische Figuren. Und er baut seinen eigenen Traum von einem venezianischen Palast mitten in New York. "Ich möchte, dass mein Leben in meinem Werk steckt, komprimiert in meiner Malerei wie ein Auto in einer Schrottpresse. Sonst wäre meine Arbeit nur irgendwelches Zeugs", sagt Julian Schnabel. Diese Dringlichkeit zieht sich durch sein Schaffen, ganz gleich, welche Mittel oder Medien der Künstler wählt. Jetzt als unlimitierte Ausgabe erhältlich, stellt diese TASCHEN-Monografie die ganze Palette von Schnabels Arbeiten vor. Das Buch wurde in enger Zusammenarbeit mit dem Künstler geschaffen. Die Texte steuern Freunde, Kuratoren und Kunsthistoriker bei, mit denen Schnabel schon zuvor an Projekten gearbeitet hat: Laurie Anderson zeichnet ein vertrauliches Porträt des Künstlers; Éric de Chassey widmet sich den Gemälden, Bonnie Clearwater den Skulpturen und Max Hollein der ortsspezifischen Arbeit; Donatien Grau schreibt über den Palazzo Chupi, das vom Künstler selbst entworfene Haus im New Yorker West Village; der Schriftsteller Daniel Kehlmann taucht in das filmische Werk ein. Mit diesen Texten und hochwertigen Werkabbildungen macht das Buch Schnabels Kunst auf eine direkte Weise erlebbar, wie es sonst nur in der persönlichen Begegnung mit den Werken möglich ist.
