New York: Harry N Abrams Inc., 1996. Large oversized and very heavy hardcover, w jacket. 296 pages, richly illustrated. Text in English. Unobtrusive mark to bottom edge, else fine excellent clean copy. First edition. - "With a career that took him from pre-1914 Berlin to Amsterdam, Paris, and New York, Erwin Blumenfeld (1897-1969) was one of the outstanding figures in the history of twentieth-century photography. From the late 1930s to the 1960s, at such influential magazines as Harpers' Bazaar and Vogue, he transformed fashion into high art, and his pictures were in such demand that by the mid-1950s he had become the most highly paid fashion photographer in the world. He photographed the greatest couture creations of the day - designs by Chanel, Balenciaga, Piguet, Dior, and Charles James. Yet his very success in that glamorous world has until now obscured a far more complex and eclectic talent and personality.In Blumenfeld: Photographs, William A. Ewing explores the life and work of this extraordinary and multitalented man. Blumenfeld took up photography almost by chance in the 1920s, beginning with portraiture and the nude. His highly original and visionary work was a seamless blend of the negative and the positive: taking the picture in the studio and making it in the darkroom. Highly inventive, he developed his own idiosyncratic language, using solarization and negative printing, double and multiple exposures, and a host of hybrid techniques. His interests soon expanded to include architectural subjects, landscapes, and works of art, but photographing "Woman" - or capturing the "eternal feminine," as Blumenfeld described it - would remain his chief obsession throughout his life. This book is the first complete retrospective examination of Blumenfeld's work. It brings together the diverse achievements of this brilliant photographer in more than 235 images in both color and black-and-white, providing a thorough representation of his drawings, collages, and photographs."

Copenhagen: Galerie Mikael Andersen / San Francisco: Seems, 2009. 4to in wraps as issued. (32) pages including covers. Color illustrated throughout. Fine copy. Signed in hand with pencil to colophon page by Eddie Martinez. "Martinez's universe is populated by a colorful cocktail of stylized figures and abstract shapes. Exotic flowers, birds, sports equipment, and figures with exaggerated eyes as well as dots, lines, and patterns are fighting for space on the canvas. The compositions stress the plane and are expressive, playful, and dynamic. Old acquaintances are present. Boxing gloves, the large appealing eyes, and bananas are all part of the fixture in Martinez’s works, but the motives are tested and new variations created. Some places the banana is represented only by its yellow colour, and elsewhere an Amanita is reduced to red-white dot formations.The exhibition consists of both paintings and drawings of which the latter are constituted by a suite of four "dreamers." The painting Opponent of Dreams contrasts with the dreamy figures as the helmet-carrying guy equipped with boxing gloves and with his hands raised in defense takes a stand against the unrealistic dreamers. As suggested, peace and harmony do not stand alone. Several titles equip the works with dark undertones using martial metaphors, such as Up In Arms. This title clashes with the harmless table arrangement, and as the blue bird looks far more scared than prepared to fight the collision appears ironical. Martinez is not weighed down with seriousness; instead his works shine with irony and humour. The content, including the gallery of characters points at inspiration from comics as well as Warhol's pop art, in which the banana among others got the lead role. The boxing glove relates to an immortalized artistic clash in the ‘80s between Warhol and Basquiat dressed in boxing outfits. The legacy of Basquiat and Guston’s expressive figurative painting is also noticeable. Martinez is working diligently with the art historical reservoir which he explores and comments on. Classic genres such as still life and portrait painting are rethought refreshingly, and the expressive and naive brush gives 17th century flower piece a major boost. Eddie Martinez was born in 1977 and lives and works in Brooklyn. He has recently had solo exhibitions in New York, Stockholm and Seoul, but this is his first solo show in Denmark. Here Martinez is also showing a new suite of dry points and lithographs published by Fourth Estate, New York. On the occasion of the exhibition the book News and Updates with a text by Max Henry is published in collaboration with Seems Books, San Francisco."
