Diane Arbus: Sanctum Sanctorum

The first English-language volume of Takuma Nakahira's influential writings on photography. Takuma Nakahira was a crucial figure within the history of Japanese photography, best known outside of Japan as a founding member of Provoke, the experimental magazine of photographs, essays, and poetry, first published in Tokyo in 1968. Through Provoke, Nakahira deepened his artistic and personal connection to Daido Moriyama, with whom he developed a signature style of harsh and grainy black-and-white photography. He would eventually break with this style, and over the course of his decades-long career, maintain an experimental approach to photography. And yet, beyond his photographic practice, Nakahira was also a committed critic, writing on a range of topics hardly limited to photography: art, film, journalism, radical politics, television, and jazz. As a whole, the essays offer insight into the evolution of Nakahira's thinking. As the curator Matthew S. Witkovsky notes, "Nakahira's incisive writing cut apart standing views in literature, film, politics, and especially photography, and he published both articles and photographs at a feverish rate."

Takuma Nakahira: At the Limits of the Gaze

Koudelka: Diaries offers insight into the mind of this iconoclastic Czech photographer renowned for projects on the Roma, the 1968 Soviet invasion of Prague, and the impact humans have had on the landscape. Over the course of fifty-plus years Josef Koudelka has kept nearly seventy journals. Distilled now into one richly illustrated volume, Koudelka: Diaries offers a look inside the mind of the iconoclastic Czech photographer renowned for his life in exile and a career that has included seminal projects on the Roma, legendary coverage of the 1968 Soviet invasion of Prague, and volumes on the often-devastating impact humans have had on the landscape. Revealed throughout the book are Koudelka's thoughts on photographers, such as Henri Cartier-Bresson, and editors, curators, and friends, including Robert Delpire and Anna Fárová, along with notes on his legendary projects. Facsimiles of actual diary pages and images by the photographer, including self-portraits, lend the volume an immediacy and authenticity. Josef Koudelka: Diaries provides a perfect companion to Josef Koudelka: Next (2023), the visual biography by Melissa Harris, editor at large at Aperture, and has been brought together by the same creative collaborators: designer Ales Najbrt and translators Derek and Marzia Paton.

Josef Koudelka: Diaries

Moving beyond his well-known monumental installations of tables and chairs, this tribute to Robert Therrien analyzes his understudied later worksThis book presents a fresh, accessible and dynamic look at the work of American artist Robert Therrien (1947-2019), surveying over 40 years of his influential work, notably his underseen and understudied late works. Organized chronologically and thematically, emphasizing Therrien's iterative artistic practice of exploring sets of themes over time, the volume speaks to the nature of memory and how it is shaped by space, time and materials, placing his practice within the history of recent sculpture in Los Angeles and elsewhere. The book showcases Therrien's personal vocabulary of forms as they become a personal language of continuous creation for the artist over time. A single Therrien gesture can expand, contract, change materially or seamlessly transform into other images entirely. At the heart of Therrien's practice is a sense of artistic animation, by turns fun, playful and serious. This book was published in association with The Broad.

Robert Therrien: This Is a Story

The hilarious and piercing memoir about growing up gay in a not-so-gay world. 'A beautiful celebration of being different.' TOM ALLEN'An important story, told with a sharp wit and disarming humour' MOHSIN ZAIDI author of A Dutiful Boy'Brilliant, spectacularly witty and genuinely moving. I loved it.' MATTHEW TODD, author of Straight JacketI'm just a man, standing in front of a salad, asking it to be a cake. What do you do when you're too gay for Pakistan, too Pakistani to be gay in America and you're ashamed of your body everywhere?How can you find happiness despite years of humiliation, fear and a legion of Brooklyn hipsters who know you only as a queer from Whereveristan?How do you summon the courage to be yourself no matter where you are?Even as a young child in Lahore, Komail Aijazuddin knew he was different. Other boys didn't pirouette off their desks, get bullied for their 'manboobs' or spontaneously burst into songs from The Little Mermaid. Other boys didn't play together like that. Starved of a crucial part of himself, he ate. And ate. Before long, his own body became another burden to carry everywhere and to hide. Komail began to believe his only chance at a happy, meaningful life would be found elsewhere: in America, land of the free, home of the gays. But he would soon learn that finding happiness takes a lot more than a plane ticket. This is Aijazuddin's riotous, intelligent memoir of searching for his place between two worlds while navigating a minefield of expectations, prejudice and self-doubt. In Manboobs, Aijazuddin confidently announces himself as a sharp new voice in humour with his moving, wickedly funny search for love and the bravery required to be yourself.

A very queer memoir

Manboobs

This richly illustrated bilingual monograph showcases Quevedo's deft weaving of cultural histories, material legacies and personal narratives into evocative paintings and works on paperBorn in Ecuador and raised in New York, artist Ronny Quevedo (born 1981) brings his Andean heritage into his work in ways both subtle and profound. In a practice that spans installation, drawings and prints, Quevedo creates intricate and densely layered works that incorporate elements of abstraction, painting, collage, cartography and sports imagery.

Ronny Quevedo: Portero / Portal Keeper

The first monographic study of American artist Alison Knowles, a significant yet overlooked cofounder of the Fluxus movement. Alison Knowles stands out as the sole female artist among the founders of Fluxus, yet she has remained an enigmatic, underrecognized figure in the history of art. Performing Chance fills a gap in the record, bringing to light Knowles's transformative body of work as it evolved from abstract painting in the late 1950s, to silkscreens, print media, and performance in the early 1960s, to groundbreaking works in digital poetry, acoustical art, and large-scale installations in the late 1960s-70s. Through her access to previously unpublished archival materials and direct interviews with the artist, Nicole L. Woods provides close readings of pivotal works, disclosing the ways Knowles instituted formal tactics that moved beyond modernist painting, championed principles of indeterminacy and chance, and fostered sociopolitical consciousness. Situating Knowles's innovations in various media within the distinct cultural contexts of Wiesbaden, London, Paris, New York City, and Los Angeles, Performing Chance brings this key artist back to her rightful place as a leader of the postwar avant-garde and provides a nuanced history of the role of women artists in Fluxus and beyond.
