Chicago's Holiday Train

Hal Fischer: Seminal Works collects Gay Semiotics with Fischer's rarely seen early photography and features a range of essays that provide vital perspectives on the enduring themes of his work.In the late 1970s, as gay men in San Francisco were enjoying a new era of liberation following the Stonewall Riots, Hal Fischer made a signal photo-text project that categorized denizens of the Castro and Haight-Ashbury neighborhoods by social type. Sly and systematic, Fischer's Gay Semiotics portrays the sartorial codes of queer street style--earrings, handkerchiefs, jeans, or leather--that broadcast a range of desires to potential sexual prospects. Fischer annotated his black-and-white photographs with commentary about gay archetypes, such as the jock or the hippie, with an occasional sense of irreverence. The series was published as an artist's book in 1978 and quickly became an influential record of a libertine era before AIDS, the rise of internet dating apps, and tech industry-accelerated gentrification transformed queer life in San Francisco forever. Hal Fischer: Seminal Works includes Gay Semiotics together with Fischer's rarely seen early photography and features essays that offer vital new perspectives on the enduring themes of his work, from the history of San Francisco to the gay rights movement's impact on shifting visions of race and masculinity.

A Life of Peter Hujar and Paul Thek

The Wonderful World that Almost Was

Photofile

The perfect primer on renowned Italian photographer Letizia Battaglia. Born in Palermo, Letizia Battaglia (1935-2022) took up journalism as a single mother, but discovered that it was easier to sell articles if she could also supply photographs. She became a news photographer for L'Ora, a Sicilian daily newspaper that took a stand against the Mafia and its political and economic connections. Between 1976 and 1991, she was a witness to some of the bloodiest events in Italian history, including the killing of judges, police officers and politicians. While these images brought her international recognition, she strongly opposed the label of 'Mafia photographer' and believed that her aim was to seek out life. She built up a many-sided portrait of her Sicilian homeland, developing a special sensitivity to women, girls and young children, and a deep empathy with those living in poverty. Her work stands as proof that both joy and suffering are part of the experience of being in the world.

A showcase of innovative new photo-based work by an acclaimed contemporary artist &nbsp; While best known for large-scale ephemeral installations, performances, and public projects, Ann Hamilton (b. 1956) has regularly explored photography throughout her four-decade career. Over the past ten years, photography has become an increasingly important aspect of her practice, with scanning as the dominant medium in several recent projects, including her most recent photo-based series, still and moving • the tacile image. The work, featured in this volume, was created from 2021 to 2025 in response to small-scale figural sculptures in the collection of the Cleveland Museum of Art. Hamilton’s images focus on the glance, the fragment, and the gesture—elements that imbue the sculptures with movement and expression—and return time to her still subjects. &nbsp; A visual essay by Hamilton connects related compositions in a format recalling a filmstrip that hints at, but never supplies, a narrative. The images are interspersed with fragments of found text and scans of fabric that recall curtains drawn between acts and recall the prevalence of drapery in depictions of the human figure. The visual essay is followed by a scholarly essay by Barbara Tannenbaum that sets Hamilton’s new work in the context of the artist’s career-long practice of photography. It discusses the ways that, for Hamilton, the processes used and the experience of making an artwork are essential components of its meaning. &nbsp; Distributed for the Cleveland Museum of Art &nbsp; Exhibition Schedule: &nbsp; Cleveland Museum of Art (December 14, 2025–March 29, 2026)

“In the best modernist tradition, [Deschenes] pushes against the basic terms by which photography is conventionally defined: instantaneity, veracity, fixity, or reproducibility.” — curator and critic Matthew WitkovskyDeschenes uses durational photogram exposure to create unique, shifting surfaces that frequently function as sculptural or architectural, rather than photographic, objects. In her recent work, Deschenes exposes photographic paper to the night sky, develops it, and fixes the photogram with silver toner, creating misty silver surfaces brindled with slight changes in hue that are affected either by exposure to ambient light or the hand-application of the toner itself. Some of these photograms remain unframed and oxidize over time, further problematizing the role of the photograph as fixed image on surface. Instead, purged of representational content, the photograph, in Deschenes’s practice, functions as an object that records how it has been, and continues to be, acted upon.Deschenes’ work is held in the permanent collections of Centre Pompidou, Paris; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Museum of Modern Art, New York; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; Art Institute of Chicago; ICA/Boston; Pinault Collection, Paris; Montreal Museum of Fine Arts; Milwaukee Art Museum; Princeton University Art Museum; the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, D.C.

An Untold Story of Black Resistance Along a Southern Waterway

The Inner Passage

"I think the challenges I encountered in both the rooftop and street photography scene don't stem from my gender, but rather my own limitations as a creative person. I never thought of rooftopping as a male sport. Fear of heights, fear of trespassing, fear of getting caught - these are universal fears that a lot of people have, no matter what gender they are." ~ Jennifer Bin
Canadian native Jennifer Bin picked up a camera when she moved to Shanghai in 2015. Her mesmerizing, futuristic images quickly drew legions of Instagram followers, now over 120,000 strong. Shooting on top of high-rises and dangling off building tops and towers, Jennifer seems utterly fearless. But this isn't just a book of rooftop images; she shows incredible range and intent, capturing Shanghai in "future tense," rather than the present.
Memories of the Future is Ms. Bin's collection of Shanghai images taken over an intense three-year period before moving to Zurich, Switzerland, where she was able to reflect on the work she created. It's not just her photos that speak to us; it's also her bold, fearless personality which fuels her own passion for photography, architecture and art. Avant-garde architecture, vertigo-inducing rooftops, futuristic skylines, often photographed at night, give the viewer an insight to how Jennifer sees the world: slightly ahead of her time, maybe even looking back at us from the future.

Memories of the Future is a dazzling, fearless look at the futuristic landscape of modern Shanghai as seen by emerging photographer Jennifer Bin.

How to Be Avant-Garde

Seoul Days & Nights

This book is a blueprint for artists looking to engage with activist movements with a persistent longevity and a reminder that art has the power to be more dangerous than words.
Front Lines: A Lifetime of Drawing Resistance is Susan Simensky Bietila's story of her six decades as a movement artist and activist and a lifetime of artistic collaborations rooted in her activist experience. Growing up during McCarthyism, she rejected the nationalist masculinity of elite art and conformist culture and found feminism and collectivism as new forms of resistance. She became an artist in the New Left, creating illustrations for radical underground publications including RAT, Subterranean News, and comics for the anarchic World War 3 Illustrated.
With more than one hundred images, Front Lines documents her art on the page and in action featuring protest banners and giant puppets of birds and fish carried in the streets, masks of notorious dictators for street theater, posters pasted on walls and hung in radical spaces, community art builds, and more. Visual storytelling and detailed captions contextualize and bring to life her work with movements including antiwar protests during the Viet Nam era, Indigenous led antimine and antipipeline struggles, water protection, immigrant rights, anticorporate globalization convening, protests against the state and capital, Palestinian liberation actions, and collaborations with groups throughout the Great Lakes region and beyond. She agitates from the roots and the front lines to this day.

The first major biography on artist Louise Bourgeois brings the life and work of an iconic twentieth-century artist into sharp focus &nbsp; Louise Bourgeois (1911–2010) was one of the most important artists of the twentieth century. She is known for a body of work that spans sculpture, painting, and printmaking but eludes any aesthetic classification. Her life and art were so intertwined that it is often difficult to tell them apart. In her own words: “Sculpture is the body. My body is the sculpture.” &nbsp; Marie-Laure Bernadac’s biography of Bourgeois traces the career of a great artist, her training, and her influences, as it tells the story of an exceptional woman’s life. Featuring personal photographs as well as reproductions of her work, this landmark publication is the first major biography to draw on the artist’s unpublished personal archives, including diaries, correspondence, and psychoanalytic writings, as well as the many interviews she gave and the reminiscences of those who knew her. Bernadac elucidates Bourgeois’s friendships and rivalries with other major figures, including sculptor Louise Nevelson and Museum of Modern Art director Alfred H. Barr Jr. She also draws on Bourgeois’s well-known fascination with psychoanalysis to explore the deeply autobiographical nature of her artwork. This erudite and keenly insightful biography pays tribute to the talent of the artist and the complexity of the person.

The first bilingual monograph dedicated to Sophie Rivera, a trailblazing artist at the center of feminist engagement, Latine art, and contemporary US photography.Renowned for her portraits of everyday Puerto Ricans taken from her home studio in Upper Manhattan, Sophie Rivera (1938-2021; born in New York) began her career in the 1970s, becoming part of a coalition of artists who sought to counter negative depictions of Latinos in US popular culture. These portraits, later exhibited under the title Revelations for a public art presentation in the New York City subway, as well as her street photographs, abstract cityscapes, graffiti art images, and experimental self-portraits, bolstered Rivera's standing as a trailblazing artist who engaged with feminist and political consciousness. Sophie Rivera: Double Exposures brings together photographs, contact sheets, and artist statements with vivid scholarship that place Rivera at the center of Latine and feminist art and within the history of contemporary photography in the US. Double Exposures is published on the occasion of the first museum survey dedicated to Sophie Rivera, presented by El Museo del Barrio, New York, in 2026.
