Seydou Keïta: A Tactile Lens

The story of photographer Edward Steichen’s deep connections to the natural world, from how it influenced his artistic practice to his award-winning garden &nbsp; In a 1937 article titled “Millions of Gardeners,” Life magazine published “Mr. Steichen . . . is known among photographers as one of the greatest portraitists clicking a shutter today. He is known among horticulturists as one of the greatest breeders of delphiniums who ever called the gods’ wrath down on a burrowing star-nosed mole.” For over sixty years, the pioneering American photographer Edward Steichen spent most of his spare time—and money—nurturing plants and gardens. It was an activity that sustained and inspired him, and through which he developed ardently held intellectual precepts regarding the interrelationship of creativity, nature, and art. Edward Steichen and the Garden explores Steichen’s artistic practice and his engagement with nature, gardening, and plant breeding, bringing to light the many ways in which the two pursuits were closely allied. The book’s abundant illustrations feature paintings and photographs by Steichen and fellow artists who painted in his garden, including Arthur B. Carles, John Marin, Katharine Knowles, and Marion Beckett. A selection of archival material such as family snapshots and awards for his delphiniums offers an intimate perspective on Steichen’s devotion to nature and his garden. &nbsp; Published in association with the George Eastman Museum &nbsp; Exhibition Schedule: &nbsp; George Eastman Museum, Rochester, NY (March 27–September 6, 2026) &nbsp; Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Boston, MA (June 17–September 12, 2027) &nbsp; Reynolda House Museum of American Art, Winston-Salem, NC (October 16, 2027–January 8, 2028)

Vincenzo Bellini on Stage and Screen, 1935-2020

One of the most popular photographers on the planet recounts his life and art By the age of 14, I decided I would be a photographer. 'It's what I will do for the rest of my life, until I drop dead.' I knew when I was very young. It was a definite decision. Don't ask me why. I just knew it was the right thing. When Martin Parr was fourteen, his teacher wrote that he was 'utterly lazy and inattentive' in a school report. He went on to become one of the most successful and sought-after photographers in the world. Martin has published over one hundred photobooks on many different subjects, from seaside resorts to smoking, over his career. Now, for the first and only time, Martin has produced a book about himself, telling his own story, in his own words. This autobiography combines over 150 of Martin's photographs - from his earliest snapshots to the work he is doing today - with his recollections and reflections on each image. We meet a boy growing up in suburbia, who collects obsessively and notices everything. We see him exploding into the public consciousness in the late eighties with a series of startling, ultra-saturated colour images of the British seaside - and scandalising the photography establishment in the process. We see society changing over the decades, from the demise of steam trains, through the opening of the first McDonald's in Moscow, to the transformations of the post-pandemic world. As Martin shares his story, his distinctive voice delicately captured by his friend, the writer Wendy Jones, he also reveals his approach to work and commissions; his tricks for gaining access and getting the shot; and he divulges his particular passions: for crowds and queues, fetes and placards, bad weather on beaches, and more. This is the definitive account of a great photographer's career, curating the work that has defined his life. By looking at the world through his eyes and his lens, we come away seeing Martin Parr - and ourselves - a little differently.

Shadow Boxers

From a widely celebrated artist, this dazzling book takes readers on a profound journey into the heart of creativity &nbsp; When Makoto Fujimura painted as a child, he felt a mysterious electrical charge pass through him. Over decades of art making, writing, and reflecting in his studio, he has come to understand this charge as his Creator—a source he connects with most profoundly when making art. To be human is to be creative, Fujimura believes, and art making is a discipline of awareness, prayer, and praise by which we journey back to our original light. &nbsp; In this book, Fujimura takes readers along on his meandering journey as an artist. We witness him making his “process-driven slow art”—using pulverized minerals, gold, or pigments made from oyster shell—as he considers the plants and wildlife on the land where he lives. He draws on Japanese aesthetics, modernist art, Christian theology, sado (art of tea), literature, ecology, and personal narrative, with inspiration ranging from William Blake’s poetry to the art of Mark Rothko and Josef Albers, and from the wisdom of Scripture and Japanese tea master Sen no Rikyū to the traditional Japanese painting technique called Nihonga. &nbsp; Bringing together the author’s written reflections and his paintings, drawings, and photographs, Art Is invites us to see the world in prismatic and diverse lights, helping us navigate the fractured, divisive times we live in.

A Journey into the Light

Art Is

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

There’s something about the abandoned storefronts, vintage motels, and forgotten restaurants of the 1950s and 60s that evokes a mid-century nostalgia, even for those of us who weren’t alive in those years. Viewing Hours brings together the photography of Ben Geier, who has spent the last decade traveling the United States to capture the images of these once vibrant, and now abandoned treasures.Organized in sections, including Signs, Theatres, Restaurants, Motels, Roadside, and Storefronts, and featuring an introduction by the photographer, Viewing Hours features over 150 color images from 15 states, including Arizona, California, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, New Mexico, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Wisconsin. Evoking a sense of nostalgia and solitude, Geier’s work highlights the modernist architecture, minimalist design, and muted color palette of the mid-century.

“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.

Blazing Light&nbsp;is&nbsp;published to coincide with Mimi Plumb’s first solo museum exhibition of the same name (High Museum of Art, Atlanta, Georgia) and brings together three of her major bodies of work—The White Sky, Landfall and The Golden City,&nbsp;and&nbsp;The Reservoir—that collectively contemplate the anxieties of American life in the waning years of the Cold War and its aftermath. In the 1970s, Plumb began photographing as a teenager in the San Francisco suburb of Walnut Creek at a time marked by rapid development of the land coupled with global political and economic instability. Her early artistic life was defined by a burgeoning awareness of global warming, the AIDS epidemic, violent conflict in Latin America and the Middle East, and a looming threat of nuclear war. This atmosphere attuned Plumb to the evidence of such forces in the land, the built environment, and the ways people carry themselves and relate to one another—concerns that continue to abide in her work to this day. Plumb’s photographs foreground the presence of people, lending her images a greater degree of pathos and even notes of humorous absurdity. Though the artist embraces realism, her photographs are more ambient and enigmatic, inviting conjecture rather than providing documentary information. The publication will include texts by Gregory Harris, curator of the exhibition; Karen Irvine, chief curator and deputy director at the Museum of Contemporary Photography, Chicago, IL; and Lauren Richman, curator of photography at the Norton Museum of Art, West Palm Beach, FL. Plumb's work is held in numerous public collections, including the High Museum of Art (GA), San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (CA), Los Angeles County Museum of Art (CA), Museum of Fine Arts Boston (MA), Yale University Art Gallery (CT), and the Deutsche Börse Collection (Germany). The&nbsp;Mimi Plumb: Blazing Light&nbsp;exhibition will be on view at the High Museum of Art from February 6-May 5, 2026. The exhibition will then travel to the Johnson Museum at Cornell University, NY (summer 2026), the Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach, FL (winter 2026/2027), followed by the Museum of Contemporary Photography in Chicago, IL (spring 2027).
