Dear
friend of Beyond Words,
Welcome to the March edition of the Beyond Words newsletter in which
we bring your attention to some new and signed books by both Michael
Kenna and Josef Hoflehner. We also highlight a few of the recent titles
to have impressed us enough to want to share them with you, including
this month's book of the month, as always available at 10% discount.
And speaking of discounts, we also find space at the end to list some
of the heavily discounted bargains to have arrived in the last month
or so.
In addition to all of these items we would also like to point you towards a couple of scarce/collectable books that we have managed to lay our hands on. We thought we had seen the last of Obvious & Ordinary, the anonymously produced book by Martin Parr and John Gossage, when our final copies were snapped up last year. However, we have come across a few more copies which, due to their scarcity, are now selling for £28. Another book that we thought we would not have the pleasure of stocking again is Takeshi Shikama's beautiful Silent Respiration of Forests (£32 signed).

Was £45 > Now £40.50 'This monograph is devoted to Evans’s complete body of work, and it deliberately features many of the photographs that are only rarely seen, including the Polaroids he shot in the early seventies—his last images. The photographer’s consistently heightening influence in the seventies and his symbiotic relationship with legendary Museum of Modern Art curator John Szarkowski comprise the core of this revisionist volume.' |
Recommended Titles
Todd
Hido: A Road Divided (Nazraeli Press, Hardback, £50)
As both House
Hunting and Roaming have ranked among staff favourites
in recent years we have no hesitation in listing Hido's new book as
a recommended title. We are anticipating some signed
copies (£60) as well as unsigned editions
for when the signed copies inevitably run out.
Thomas
Graics: Abstraction of Nature (Kerher Verlag, Hardback, £35)
Thomas Graics’s images of Iceland are the culmination of his many years
of experience as a pilot, painter and photographer. This book comprises
his abstracted images of the island's eerie and fascinating milky-coloured
glacial rivers
Olaf
Otto Becker: Above Zero (Hatje Cantz, Hardback, £55)
Staying with the landscapes of the north is Above Zero, Olaf
Otto Becker's follow-up to his equally breathtaking, prize-winning photographs
of the coast of Greenland Broken
Line. This time Becker turns his large format camera on the interior
of the island. His photographic studies reveal the overwhelming beauty
of this ice-covered landscape while at the same time documenting the
threat posed to this Arctic environment.
Robert
Adams: Gone? (Steidl, Hardback, £44)
Adams's goal in much of his photography is to acknowledge the disappearance
of wilderness but also to discover a basis for affirmation. In the 1980s he
revisited the semi-rural areas through which he had walked as a boy – landscapes
no longer pristine but still notable for their quiet, space and light. The
views in this book, none published before, record some of what he found compelling.
