Removed from the polished finish of the fashion editorial, these immediate images reveal the experimentation, staging and visual instincts behind one of the most influential photographers of twentieth-century fashion. exb.fr\nThroughout the book, bodies are fragmented through radical cropping, figures appear within dark interiors and surreal environments, and glamour is repeatedly offset by unease, eroticism and ambiguity. These characteristics became central to Bourdin’s work for publications such as French Vogue, where his highly constructed and often provocative images helped redefine the possibilities of fashion photography. FAULT Magazine\nBourdin had close links to Surrealism and was associated early in his career with Man Ray. In these Polaroids, that influence is particularly visible: apparently spontaneous snapshots become carefully charged compositions in which objects, bodies and environments suggest narratives that remain deliberately unresolved.\nThe publication includes a text by renowned photographer and art director Oliviero Toscani, who reflects on Bourdin’s enduring influence and the singularity of his visual language. exb.fr\nPresented in a metallic silver hardcover with one of Bourdin’s Polaroids mounted prominently on the front, the book is an especially strong collectible object for admirers of fashion photography, Surrealism and twentieth-century visual culture.","brand":"Dodo Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67607876370822,"sku":null,"price":800.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/5290\/4457\/files\/x9iwel36f6gauuisbkvb.jpg?v=1791796245"},{"product_id":"richard-avedon-portraits-first-french-edition-editions-du-chene-1976","title":"Richard Avedon - Portraits, First French Edition, Éditions du Chêne, 1976","description":"A first French edition of Richard Avedon’s landmark Portraits, published by Éditions du Chêne in Paris in 1976, complete with its original typographic dust jacket.\nBringing together Avedon’s penetrating black-and-white portraits of writers, artists, actors, political figures and other defining personalities of the twentieth century, the publication captures the uncompromising visual language that established him as one of the most influential portrait photographers of his generation.\nStripped of elaborate settings and photographed with characteristic directness, Avedon’s subjects are isolated against minimal backgrounds, allowing gesture, expression and physical presence to become the focus of each image. Among the figures represented in the wider body of work are personalities such as Truman Capote, Andy Warhol, Ezra Pound and figures from American political and cultural life. The result deliberately moves away from conventional flattering portraiture toward something more psychologically exposed and confrontational. The Cary Collection\nThe volume includes an essay by influential American art critic Harold Rosenberg and is distinguished by its full-page monochrome reproductions and several folding plates. The Richard Avedon Foundation itself records Portraits as one of Avedon’s principal publications of 1976 and credits Rosenberg’s accompanying essay. The Richard Avedon Foundation\nWith its stark oversized typography, restrained white-and-grey design and substantial folio format, the book has become an immediately recognizable Avedon publication and an important document of twentieth-century photographic portraiture.","brand":"Dodo Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67607876534662,"sku":null,"price":800.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/5290\/4457\/files\/k5ahvm1uxsjmyyf3e6e7.jpg?v=1791796293"},{"product_id":"ed-ruscha-los-angeles-apartments-first-edition-steidl-2013-sealed","title":"Ed Ruscha - Los Angeles Apartments, First Edition, Steidl, 2013, Sealed","description":"A sealed first edition of Ed Ruscha’s Los Angeles Apartments, published by Steidl in 2013 to accompany the exhibition of the same name at Kunstmuseum Basel.\nThe publication revisits one of the defining subjects of Ruscha’s early photographic practice: the anonymous apartment architecture of Southern California. In 1965, Ruscha published Some Los Angeles Apartments, the third of his seminal photographic artist’s books, while simultaneously developing a group of ten related drawings based directly on photographs he had taken of Los Angeles apartment buildings. Steidl Verlag\nEdited by Christian Müller, Los Angeles Apartments brings together photographs, preparatory studies and finished drawings, revealing the close relationship between photography and drawing within Ruscha’s working process. The book also includes photographs from his 1962 Gasoline Stations series, including imagery connected to the iconic painting Standard Station, Amarillo, Texas of 1963. Steidl Verlag\nBy placing these different media in direct dialogue, the publication offers an unusually focused view of Ruscha’s movement between documentary observation, graphic reduction, realism and abstraction. The repetitive façades, anonymous architecture and deadpan perspective that characterize these works would become fundamental to both Ruscha’s own visual language and the broader development of conceptual photography and the artist’s book.\nPublished in a green clothbound hardcover with a photographic cover image, the book has since gone out of print. This example remains sealed and unused, making it particularly appealing as a collectible Ed Ruscha publication. Steidl itself now lists both editions as out of print.","brand":"Dodo Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67607878009222,"sku":null,"price":1100.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/5290\/4457\/files\/mniqokhgs0npxcweyxtj.jpg?v=1791796367"},{"product_id":"antony-cairns-cty-signed-numbered-limited-edition-2018","title":"Antony Cairns – CTY, Signed \u0026 Numbered Limited Edition, 2018","description":"A signed and numbered limited edition of CTY by British photographer Antony Cairns, published by Akio Nagasawa Publishing in 2018 in an edition of 750 copies.\nCTY brings together Cairns’ atmospheric studies of contemporary cities, drawing from bodies of work made in London, Las Vegas, Tokyo and Osaka. Photographed largely at night and using the available illumination of the urban environment, Cairns’ images transform architecture, construction sites and illuminated façades into fragmented, almost abstract compositions.\nThis Akio Nagasawa edition presents a deliberately reworked version of the earlier Morel Books publication: the original photographs are reconstructed through a negative-positive reversal, extending Cairns’ long-standing exploration of the relationship between photography, reproduction and obsolete technologies. The resulting imagery oscillates between recognisable cityscape and graphic abstraction, giving the book an almost cinematic, futuristic quality. AKIO NAGASAWA\nThe volume incorporates six texts by curator Simon Baker, structured around ideas of the modern and imagined city and drawing on writers including J. G. Ballard, William Gibson, H. P. Lovecraft and Benjamin Péret. Cairns’ experimental approach to both photographic material and publishing has become central to his practice, which frequently incorporates analogue printing processes, electronic displays, computer punch cards and other forms of obsolete technology. AKIO NAGASAWA\nWith its distinctive full-cover image construction and substantial 376-page format, CTY functions as both a photographic monograph and a carefully conceived artist’s object.","brand":"Dodo Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67607878107526,"sku":null,"price":650.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/5290\/4457\/files\/jsqghas0bkpenzl9ziwn.jpg?v=1791796440"},{"product_id":"sarah-moon-souvenirs-improbables-first-edition-1981","title":"Sarah Moon - Souvenirs Improbables, First Edition, 1981","description":"A rare first edition of Souvenirs Improbables by French photographer Sarah Moon, published by Delpire in 1981.\nOne of Moon’s important early monographs, the book brings together 94 photographs from her work of the 1970s, including commissioned imagery created for fashion and editorial clients such as Cacharel, Vogue, Biba, Carita and Pirelli. The publication captures the visual language that established Moon as one of the most distinctive figures in post-war fashion photography: softened focus, pronounced grain, muted colour, deep shadow and an almost painterly sense of movement and disappearance. Le Plac'Art Photo\nRather than treating fashion as straightforward documentation, Moon transforms garments and models into atmospheric, dreamlike compositions suspended somewhere between memory and fiction. Her images frequently evoke early pictorialist photography while remaining unmistakably rooted in the experimental fashion culture of the 1970s. Fotografie-Hall of Fame\nPublished by the influential French photography publisher Robert Delpire, the volume was conceived and produced by Delpire together with Françoise Sadoux and includes a text by French writer Danièle Sallenave.
