<strong>of</strong> Juergen Teller and Cindy Sherman which derived from <strong>the</strong> initial concept.<br />

This politicisation <strong>of</strong> culture in Berlin’s mid-20th century history is an<br />
undercurrent <strong>of</strong> Tacita Dean’s newest Berlin work Die Regimentstochter,<br />
2005. Compiled from <strong>the</strong> covers <strong>of</strong> opera and <strong>the</strong>atre programmes <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
1930s and 1940s <strong>the</strong> book is a cross-section <strong>of</strong> Berlin’s rich <strong>of</strong>fering <strong>of</strong> opera<br />
houses and <strong>the</strong>atres. Each programme gives a tantalising glimpse <strong>of</strong> a title or<br />
a face through a small window cut into <strong>the</strong> embossed cover; we recognise<br />
Beethoven, Rossini, <strong>the</strong> face <strong>of</strong> a singer perhaps. Why <strong>the</strong>y were removed is<br />
left to our imaginations.<br />

Guido Mocafico Venenum<br />
Limited edition<br />
<strong>of</strong> 1200 copies<br />
Paolo Roversi is known internationally for his romantic, intense, and e<strong>the</strong>real<br />
fashion images and portraits — images that quiver on <strong>the</strong> edge <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir own<br />
seemingly fragile existence. Since 1980 Roversi has worked primarily in 8-by-<br />
10 Polaroid, and rarely on location. Studio is a milestone in his burgeoning<br />
bibliography. The book, designed as a series <strong>of</strong> gatefolds, appears to be a<br />
collection <strong>of</strong> empty pages at <strong>first</strong> glance. The experience <strong>of</strong> looking is akin to<br />
that <strong>of</strong> peeling away <strong>the</strong> leaves <strong>of</strong> a Polaroid — out <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> blackness, an image<br />
is revealed as if by magic.<br />

Guido Mocafico regards jellyfish, snakes, and tarantulas as <strong>the</strong> creation <strong>of</strong> an<br />
unparalleled artist. His images <strong>of</strong>fer a vision <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> unknown, a large dose <strong>of</strong><br />
mystery, and fear, a contemporary view <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> demiurge. These are <strong>the</strong> bêtes<br />
noires <strong>of</strong> our imagination...<br />

The photographs, drawings and texts which make up <strong>the</strong> Encyclopedia are<br />
part <strong>of</strong> a collection <strong>of</strong> 3,600 tattoos compiled over 33 years in St Petersburg’s<br />
notorious Kresty prison by one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> prison guards, Danzig Baldayev. The<br />

an ethnographer, recording <strong>the</strong> secrets <strong>of</strong> a closed society.<br />

In 2001, Jake and Dinos Chapman purchased a set <strong>of</strong> Francisco Goya’s<br />
Disasters <strong>of</strong> War prints. Produced by Goya between 1810 and 1820 as an<br />
attack on <strong>the</strong> horrors <strong>of</strong> war, and its supposed romance and idealism, this<br />
group <strong>of</strong> 80 images has since become emblematic <strong>of</strong> art’s moral voice, as well<br />
as a powerful template for <strong>the</strong> representation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> gross insanity <strong>of</strong> conflict.<br />
The Chapmans meticulously ‘rectified’ <strong>the</strong>ir Goya prints, superimposing<br />
cartoon faces <strong>of</strong> clowns or puppies onto figures Goya had intended as<br />
allegories <strong>of</strong> human suffering, as <strong>the</strong> ultimate homage to Goya’s masterpiece.<br />

This publication catalogues and explores <strong>the</strong> latest sculptural installation by<br />
Robert Gober, one <strong>of</strong> contemporary art’s most highly-regarded figures. The<br />

Gober, and her Lexicon provides an unprecedented glimpse at <strong>the</strong> working<br />
process and multiple layers <strong>of</strong> meaning in Gober’s complex work. The<br />

Robert Polidori, <strong>of</strong>ten considered an architectural photographer, is in fact a<br />
photographer <strong>of</strong> habitats. Polidori delicately peels away <strong>the</strong> patina <strong>of</strong> daily<br />
living and reveals <strong>the</strong> juxtapositions that create a city’s identity. Havana is a<br />
particularly rich setting for Polidori’s inquiries. In this city <strong>the</strong> peddler lives<br />
where <strong>the</strong> countess once resided; children dance and tumble where merchants<br />
conducted <strong>the</strong>ir business. Each photograph is a discovery and a fragment <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> city’s biography.<br />

The Polaroid camera combined two <strong>of</strong> Andy Warhol’s obsessions — <strong>the</strong><br />
disposible nature <strong>of</strong> modern consumerism and <strong>the</strong> photograph as a readymade.<br />
Between 1970 and 1976 Warhol would take home <strong>the</strong> Polaroids, edit<br />
and sequence <strong>the</strong>m and <strong>the</strong>n enter <strong>the</strong>m in individual red Holson Polaroid<br />
albums. These albums tended to cover one event, be it a weekend in Montauk<br />
with <strong>the</strong> Kennedy and Radziwill kids, or a portrait sitting with Palomo<br />
Picasso. Red Books is a box containing 11 <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Holson albums, each a<br />

Karl Lagerfeld A Picture <strong>of</strong> Dorian Gray<br />
Karl Lagerfeld 7 Fantasmes <strong>of</strong> a Woman<br />
‘[Karl Lagerfeld] is one<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> few fashion designers<br />
who really understands art,<br />
literature, photography<br />
and how <strong>the</strong>y intersect’<br />
The Independent<br />
This book tells <strong>the</strong> story <strong>of</strong> Oscar Wilde’s novel as a film. It reflects a world<br />
<strong>of</strong> fashion and glamour and suggests <strong>the</strong> aes<strong>the</strong>tics <strong>of</strong> Caravaggio or <strong>the</strong> pre-<br />
Raphaelites. Karl Lagerfeld, one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> greatest protagonists <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> fashion<br />
scene, makes his contribution — not completely free <strong>of</strong> irony — to <strong>the</strong><br />
subject <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> transitory nature <strong>of</strong> beauty.<br />

In 7 Fantasmes <strong>of</strong> a Woman, Karl Lagerfeld has brought to life his vision <strong>of</strong> a<br />
woman’s sensual fantasies. Against <strong>the</strong> backdrop <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> rich history <strong>of</strong> Dom<br />
Pérignon and taking inspiration from diverse sources, including drawings by<br />
Moreau <strong>the</strong> Younger, Stanley Kubrick’s film Barry Lyndon, Colette’s Chéri,<br />
Laclos’ Dangerous Liaisons and <strong>the</strong> poetry <strong>of</strong> Emily Dickinson, he created a<br />
series <strong>of</strong> photographs filled with sensuality, mystery and sexual ambiguity.<br />

From 1845 to 1862, <strong>the</strong> Boston partnership <strong>of</strong> Albert Sands Southworth and<br />
Josiah Johnson Hawes maintained <strong>the</strong> most celebrated photography studio in<br />
<strong>the</strong> United States. Taking as <strong>the</strong>ir subjects both <strong>the</strong> greatest personalities <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> day and <strong>the</strong> natural spectacles <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> American landscape, such as Niagara<br />
Falls, Southworth & Hawes elevated <strong>the</strong> new medium <strong>of</strong> daguerreotype<br />
photography to <strong>the</strong> level <strong>of</strong> art. Transcending <strong>the</strong> mere recording <strong>of</strong> factual<br />

embody an emerging national culture and spirit.<br />

Without ever trying or intending to, he showed me that <strong>the</strong> most important<br />
things in life cost nothing at all. He was my antidote to modern living.<br />
In a series <strong>of</strong> photographs made over eight years, Julian Germain captured <strong>the</strong><br />
quiet, contemplative existence <strong>of</strong> an old man living alone in a small house in a<br />
city on <strong>the</strong> south coast <strong>of</strong> England. Unfettered by <strong>the</strong> misplaced aspirations <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> modern world, Charlie spent <strong>the</strong> last years <strong>of</strong> his life absorbed in his<br />
memories <strong>of</strong> his wife, his children, his love for flowers, music and <strong>the</strong><br />
quotidian pleasures <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> crossword, and his albums <strong>of</strong> his own photographs.<br />

Ute Eskildsen The Photographed Animal — Useful, Cute and Collected<br />
Marianne Müller The Flock<br />
Man beholds in <strong>the</strong> animal a part <strong>of</strong> himself and his relation to <strong>the</strong> world.<br />
Photographs show <strong>the</strong> animal as a true friend and a tool, as a dignified being<br />
and a monstrous creature. Animal pictures are reflections <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> times in<br />
which <strong>the</strong>y are made — whe<strong>the</strong>r it’s a big-game hunt in <strong>the</strong> 19th century or a<br />
recent shoot for a cat food commercial. This book presents <strong>the</strong> photographed<br />
animal from photography’s beginnings up to <strong>the</strong> present in a depth and<br />
variety never seen before.<br />

flying <strong>the</strong>m. An unspectacular, seemingly banal scene that photographer<br />
Marianne Müller observed and photographed for months. The result <strong>of</strong> her<br />

<strong>the</strong> ro<strong>of</strong>tops <strong>of</strong> Brooklyn, oscillating between documentary observation and<br />
metaphorical condensation.<br />

photography. Since 1996, <strong>the</strong> internationally acclaimed artist has used cameras<br />
and lenses to make images that he has turned into prints using heliogravure<br />
and digital ink-jet processes, as well as conventional colour and black-andwhite<br />

The Russian revolutionary Ilya Ehrenburg lived in Paris between 1908 and<br />
1940 and My Paris is his extraordinary portrait <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> city. Ehrenburg's Paris<br />
knows no Louvre or Notre Dame and shows <strong>the</strong> Eiffel Tower crouching<br />
behind shabby facades and building timber. He focused on ordinary people <strong>of</strong><br />
every age, at <strong>the</strong>ir doors and in cafés, at work and at rest, in <strong>the</strong>ir poverty and<br />
dignity, and wrote brief descriptive texts about each. First published in<br />
