“[a] gorgeous anthology of fashion images … leibovitz is nothing less than america’s greatest living photographic portraitist … she has changed fashion photography forever.”  – anna wintour

legendary photographer annie leibovitz’s surprising account of her encounters with fashion over five decades

‘looking back at my work, i see that fashion has always been there,’ annie leibovitz observes in the preface to wonderland. ‘fashion plays a part in the scheme of everything, but photography always comes first for me. the photograph is the most important part.  and photography is so big that it can encompass journalism, portraiture, reportage, family photographs, fashion ... my work for vogue fueled the fire for a kind of photography that i might not otherwise have explored.’ 

includes 350 extraordinary images (many of them previously unpublished) featuring a wide and diverse range of subjects: nicole kidman, serena williams, pina bausch, rupaul, cate blanchett, lady gaga, matthew barney, kate moss, natalia vodianova, rihanna, chimamanda ngozi adichie, karl lagerfeld, nancy pelosi. foreword by anna wintour.

this beautifully designed clothbound book brings together the 'Palabrarmas' series by the chilean-born artist, poet and activist cecilia vicuña (born 1948).

images of these works―each a powerful juxtaposition of color, poetry and politics―appear alongside new essays and historical references chosen with the artist. palabrarmas, a neologism that translates to "word weapons" or "word arms," imagine new ways of seeing language. taking the form of collages, silkscreens, drawings, poems, fabric banners, cutouts, mixed-media installations and street actions, vicuña’s palabarmas bring together her work in poetry, activism and visual art. each one unpacks and deconstructs single words to reveal other words hiding within them, allowing new meanings to emerge.

the artist began making these visual anagrams while in exile in london and bogotá after the pinochet-led coup of 1973 in chile, and has always seen them as a form of liberation―as a way to "open up minds by opening up words," as she puts it. the palabarmas have taken on new relevance in today’s political climate, and appeared on the streets during chile’s 2019 revolution as protest signs. this book presents a range of palabrarmas in color for the first time, with new essays by mónica de la torre, carla macchiavello, cecilia vicuña and jeanne gerrity, and reprinted texts by rené daumal, robert randall and simón rodríguez.

an exploration of the visual corollary to didion’s life and work and the feeling that each generates in her admirers, detractors and critics―including artists from helen lundeberg to diane arbus, betye saar to maren hassinger, vija celmins and andy warhol.

arranged chronologically, the book highlights didion's fascination with the two coasts that made her. as a Westerner transplanted to new york, didion was able to look at her native land, its mores and fixed rules of behavior, with the loving and critical eyes of a daughter who got out and went back. and from her new york perch, didion was able to observe the political scene more closely, writing trenchant pieces about clinton, el salvador and most searingly the central park five.

carrie mae weems has often confronted the uncomfortable truths of racism and race relations over the course of her nearly 40-year career. in The Shape of Things, she focuses her unflinching gaze at what she describes as the circus-like quality of contemporary american political life. for this new work, weems created a seven-part film projected onto a cyclorama―a panoramic-style cylindrical screen that dates to the 19th century―where she addresses the turmoil of current events in the United States and the “long march forward.”

drawing on news and tv footage from the civil rights era to today, elements of previous films such as the madding crowd (2017) and new film projects that bring us into our tumultuous present, the films in The Shape of Things combine documentary directness with poetic rhythm to create an enveloping experience.

carrie mae weems (born 1953) has received numerous awards, grants and fellowships, and is represented in public and private collections around the world, including the metropolitan museum of art, new york; the museum of fine arts, houston; and the museum of modern art and the museum of contemporary art, los angeles. weems lives in brooklyn and syracuse, new york.

theorists and artists from jack halberstam to peter rehberg consider the fruitful cross-pollination of video, punk, queerness and gender politics

since the 1970s, the medium of video has been closely associated with subcultural and countercultural movements. art and music videos in particular have showed great subversive potential, as artists and musicians use the medium to explore and transgress social norms and gender stereotypes. the essays in this publication consider artistic strategies in the context of the history of punk and its offshoots, combining scholarly opinions from the fields of art history, queer theory, media studies, gender studies, postcolonial studies and cultural studies alongside field reports from the practice of alternative archives and visual essays.

authors include: kathrin dreckmann, marina grzinic, jack halberstam, josefine hetterich, angela mcrobbie, jennifer ramme, peter rehberg, marion schulze, elfi vomberg and katharina wiedlack.

a wide-ranging survey of black art in the american south, from thornton dial and nellie mae rowe to the quilters of gee's bend

for generations, black artists from the american south have forged a unique art tradition. working in near isolation from established practices, they have created masterpieces in clay, driftwood, roots, soil, and recycled and cast-off objects that articulate america's painful past--the inhuman practice of enslavement, the cruel segregationist policies of the jim crow era and institutionalized racism. their works respond to issues ranging from economic inequality, oppression and social marginalization to sexuality, the influence of place and ancestral memory.
among the sculptures, paintings, reliefs and drawings included here--the majority from the souls grown deep foundation in atlanta--are works by thornton dial, lonnie holley, ronald lockett, hawkins bolden, bessie harvey, charles williams, mary t. smith, purvis young, mose tolliver, nellie nae rowe, mary lee bendolph, marlene bennett jones, martha jane pettway, loretta pettway and henry and georgia speller. also featured are the celebrated quiltmakers of gee's bend, alabama, and work from the neighboring communities of rehoboth and alberta.
