Paris, Verve, 1955. Hardcover, Cover designed and executed by Joan Miro, 114 pp.
“Cartier-Bresson worked on The Europeans for five years, a short period if one considers
that the famous Images à la sauvette [The Decisive Moment] of 1952, was the fruit of
twenty years’ labour. Its presents a dense portrait of a Europe where, ten years after the
war, accumulated ruins, as well as traces of hunger and misery on people’s faces were still
clearly visible. In the preface, nevertheless, Cartier-Bresson states that whether we are just
passing or settled down in a particular place, in order to express a country or situation,
one needs to have somehow established a close working relationship, to be supported by
a human community; living takes time, and roots take shape slowly. . . Amplified and
enriched, the work of the photographer with soles of wind is revealed in all its grandeur.

New York, Aperture, 1985. Cloth in dustjacket.

to his move to larger format photography in 1973 that he was encouraged to explore by
Lee Friedlander. Howard N. Fox, curator of modern and contemporary art, Los Angeles

Christenberry to stir up intensely evocative emotions and meanings from common,

112. CLARK, Larry: The perfect childhood.
London: L. C. B. 1993. Cloth, in dustjacket. 192 pp. Designed by Hans Werner Holzwarth
and Design pur. Text in English.
Larry Clark’s “The Perfect Childhood” caused quite a stir when the attorneys for its
American distributor upon seeing their first copy refused to let it be imported due to the
prevailing moral climate. The successor to “Tulsa” and “Teenage Lust”, it continues the
notorious photographer/director’s fascination with the American teen through wall-to-wall
photos, collages, video stills and re-photographed press clippings - most of which are previously
unpublished. Highly voyeuristic in nature, there is no shortage here of sex, violence,
skateboarders and Matt Dillon! A most handsome copy of the uncommon true first edition
issued by Larry Clark Books in association with Thea Westreich. With a former owners
entry on the French title. - € 225

Stuttgart, Ernst Battenberg Verlag, 1966. Quarter leather spine. No dust jacket as issued.
Matching slipcase. Photo-illustrated endpapers.
The death of the bull, when the iron penetrates into the nuptial ring, is that of the black
ambassador of the white lady, who once again is defrauded of her mysterious wedding with
the man who wishes it and dreads it. The funeral quadriga carries off this ambassador with
his bouquet of banderillas, whilst the bridegroom remains alone on the place of the sacrifice.
That is why he wears mourning in the garb of satin and gold. (-Jean Cocteau). Martin
