Untitled - De Slegte

Investigating the relationship between photography and text, and suggesting new ways
for photography to depict Japanese society, the magazine was an artistic and philosophical
manifesto, responding to the upheavals of the late sixties. The participating photographers,
among them Daido Moriyama (who joined Provokewith the second issue) searched for a
radically new photographic language, as is reflected in the titles of their books: titles like
Moriyama’s Bye, Bye Photography, and Nakahira’s For a Language to Come; publications
that were turning points in postwar Japanese photography. This spectacular limited
edition collection of facsimile reprints of six legendary Japanese photography publications
from the 1960s and 1970s will undoubtedly be a highly sought-after collector’s
item. Included are the first three issues of Provokeand three books that were inspired by
it. Originally published in extremely limited editions (Provokehad a print run of 1, 000
copies), these publications are very rare today and almost impossible to find. Among the
photographers included are Daido Moriyama, Nobuyoshi Araki, Takuma Nakahira, Yutaka
Takanashi, and Koji Taki. Comes in a black wooden collector’s box, with an editor’s book
that includes translations of the texts. Copy 276 / 1000 - € 1.000
370. NASH, Paul: Fertile image.
Faber & Faber, 1951. Cloth in dustjacket, 32 pp.
Introduction by James Laver. “Paul Nash [1889-1946], who is regarded in some quarters
as one of the finest British painters of the early twentieth century, was an unusual English
modernist in that he regularly employed a camera--albeit as a note-taker--in a cultural
climate that despised photography. . . Is picture in Fertile Image of brooding landscapes,
twisted trees and deserted gardens are dark in mood, their frequent Surreal inflections
reminiscent of Bill Brandt, but whereas Brandt’s darker impulses seem domestic, that is,
springing up from within himself, Nash’s rural dreams and nightmares would appear to
derive more from the horrors he witnessed in the blasted fields of Flanders. . . He was one of
the most original of English photographers, during a period when originality was in short
supply in the country’s photography. “--Parr & Badger. Top and bottom of dustjacket

Brighton.
Promenade Press, 1986. Paperback.
A casual visitor admiring Martin Parr’s colorful photos of fat, lethargic, and relaxed British
vacationers on Brighton would never understand the controversy and critical derision
that surrounded them when they were first displayed in 1986. Even today, one might
be tempted to dismiss the controversy as a peculiar and parochial moment rather than a
defining watershed for British photography. With a signed dedication by Parr to a famous
Dutch photobook collector, with his library stamp. - € 250

Stockport, Dewi Lewis, 1995. Cloth in dustjacket, 68 pp.
In Small World, Martin Parr shows us the industry of world tourism for what it has become—an
endless parade of the strange and hilarious. From a woman getting attacked by
the pigeon in Italy, to an awkward moment on Santa’s lap in Lapland. From local villagers
swarming tourists to buy their trinkets, to family photos being taken in the Las Vegas
strip, Parr has covered most of the inhabited globe in Small World. The affects of globalization
are very present throughout Parr’s photographs as the presence of the tourists give
each image a strong sense of semblance with the rest no matter what corner of the globe it
was photographed in. - € 125
