Untitled - De Slegte

Secondly, there is Kimura’s view of the city itself, which teeters between conventional
travel photography and somethingmuch more original. What he appears to have discovered
is a residue of Atget’s Paris, at a time when the work of the French photographer was much
less known to the photographic world than it is now. Kimura’s Paris, like Atget’s, is a
nostalgic one, a city of crumbling textures and decaying structures, of courtyards and back
alleys, of mists and winter gloom”- € 1.250
275. KITAJIMA, Keizo: Shashin Tokkyubin Tokyo (Photomail from Tokyo).
Tokyo, Paroru-sha, 1980. Stiff photo-illustrated wrappers. With the first state black obi
with yellow and green lettering. “Camp” poster bound in at front. Unpaged.
While Kitajima’s black and white photographs of Tokyoites have a decidedly Provoke sensibility,
his color images signal a move away from Provoke towards a more Punk worldview.
The seedy side of Tokyo nightlife is juxtaposed with the everyday, with modern Tokyo
architecture crowding it all into the frames. A wild, vertiginous ride through Tokyo that
never lets up. Some minor rubbing to edges of obi. Else a Near Fine copy - € 1.100

277. KLEIN, William: Life is good and good for you in New York.
Paris, Éditions Seuil, 1956. Cloth, 1956.
“Improvising, thriving on accident and surprise, Klein turned out raw, kinetic, and utterly
original photographs--each one a gut reaction to the energy of the urban street, writes
Vince Aletti in The Book of 101 Books: Seminal Photographic Books of the Twentieth
Century. Picking up on the same theme Martin Parr and Gerry Badger say that the
“book’s internal rhythm contains as many cadences, breaks and unexpected flights of fancy
as a Sonny Rollins sax solo” (The Photobook: A History, Vol. 1). Without the 16 page
booklet and with a little former owner’s stamp on first blank. Comes with a photocopy of
the dustjacket. - € 900

monograph “Life Is Good & Good for You in New York, “ to assist Federico Fellini on
his film “Nights of Cabiria. “ Filming was delayed, and so Klein instead strolled about the
city in the company of Fellini, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Alberto Moravia and other avant-garde
Italian writers and artists who served as his guides. It was on these walks that “Rome, “ a
pioneering and brilliant visual diary of the city, was born. - € 950

283. KLEIN, William & MANDERY, Guy: 7 città + i mondiali : Torino ‘90.
Federico Motta, 1990. Cloth in dustjacket, 176 pp.
A little-known, scarce William Klein book that was only published in Italy. Turin, being
the smallest city Klein documented for a monograph, is probably the most intimate of his
books. It focuses heavily on Turin’s infatuation with soccer. The end papers are photoillustrated
crowd scenes. It is said that the city of Turin had published the book to celebrate
the World Cup matches being held there. They were only distributed in town, and when
Italy was knocked out in the semifinals, getting only third place, they were so upset they
stopped handing them out and eventually destroyed many of the remaining books. - € 275

bound. Text in English, French and Czech foreword by Vaclav Havel. Introduction by
Josef Vavrousek. Captions by Zdenek Stahlik, Igor Michal, and Petr Pakosta.
“The Black Triangle” is a photographic report in black and white on the Podkrusnohorí
Region - the western tip of the infamous Black Triangle’s foothills of the Ore Mountains,
located between Germany and the Czech Republic. It is one of Europe’s worst devastated
territories, but it is also a region that shaped the origin and future development of the
Czech state. Coal mining, the first record of which dates back to 1403, has been the region’s
enormous wealth as well as its curse. The industrial revolution facilitated an unprecedented
upsurge of the living standards, but at the cost of irreversible changes in nature. ‘Man
is not an omniscient master of the planet who can get away with doing whatever he likes
and whatever may suit him at the moment’. That introductory quotation of Václav Havel
is illustrated by Josef Koudelka’s photographs of the land dominated by head frames, waste
heaps, factory stacks and dried-up lakes. - € 1.100
