Walker Evans:
Decade by Decade
hATJe CAnTz
edited and with text by James Crump.
Walker evans (1903–1975) is, without doubt, one of the
most influential american photographers ever, and
many of his images have become fixed in the collective
memory. But while evans’ uncompromising
depiction of poverty during the great Depression of
the 1930s, the subject of a series commissioned by
the Farm Security administration, has become a key
chapter in the history of photography, his equally
innovative images from later decades have generally
commanded less attention. Back in print, this bilingual
monograph attempts to redress the balance
by examining evans’ complete body of work, and
features many rarely seen photographs, including his
final works, a sequence of polaroids shot in the early
1970s (a sequence made possible by an unlimited
supply of film from its manufacturer). evans’
re-ascendancy in the 1970s and his relationship with
legendary museum of modern art curator John
Szarkowski are also closely examined, in this essential
and definitive volume on a great photographer
who certainly achieved his aim to produce pictures
that were “literate, authoritative, transcendent.”

Sebastião Salgado:
Workers
An Archaeology of the Industrial Age
APerTure
more than those of any other living photographer,
Sebastião Salgado’s images of the world’s poor stand
in tribute to the human condition. His transforming
photographs bestow dignity on the most isolated and
neglected, from famine-stricken refugees in the Sahel
to the indigenous peoples of South america. Workers
is a global epic that transcends mere imagery to become
an affirmation of the enduring spirit of working
women and men. the book is an archaeological exploration
of the activities that have defined labor
from the Stone age through the Industrial age, to the
present. Divided into six categories—”agriculture,”
“Food,” “mining,” “Industry,” “oil” and “Construction”—the
book unearths layers of visual information
to reveal the ceaseless human activity at the core of
modern civilization. extended captions provide a historical
and factual framework for the images. “Salgado
unveils the pain, the beauty, and the brutality of
the world of work on which everything rests,” wrote
arthur miller of this photobook classic, upon its original
publication in 1993. “this is a collection of deep
devotion and impressive skill.” an elegy for the passing
of traditional methods of labor and production,
Workers delivers a message of endurance and hope.

Ron Church: California
to Hawaii 1960 to 1965
T.AdLer books/The surfer's JournAL
edited by Tom Adler. foreword by steve Pezman.
Introduction by brad barrett. Text by steve Pezman,
brad barrett, ron Church.
Co-published by t. adler Books and the wave-rider’s
Bible, The Surfer’s Journal, this deluxe collection of
mostly previously unpublished vintage surfing photographs
by the cult surf documentarian, ron Church,
offers a glimpse into the last moments of a small and
innocent brand of West Coast surf culture before it
became swallowed up by today’s wave jockeying,
plastic surfboards and manufactured surf wear (to
say nothing of the surf media). Church, who died at
age 39 in 1973, was an amateur surfer himself, as well
as an adventurer and a cameraman with the deep-sea
explorer Jacques Cousteau. In photographing his
peers, Church preferred to paddle out with his waterproof
equipment, shooting low to the water and far
from shore. He was among the earliest photographers
to take a professional interest in the sport from any
angle. In order to assemble this volume, publisher
tom adler scoured Church’s long-defunct proof
sheet binders, maintained for decades by his widow.
provoked by their sheer volume, adler selected the
more offbeat moments from Church’s multi-image
studies, piecing together an evocative, often moody
collection. this new edition comes in a printed
and numbered box.

Russian Criminal Tattoo Encyclopaedia
Volume III
fueL PubLIshInG
edited by damon Murray, stephen sorrell. Introduction by Alexander sidorov. Text and drawings
by danzig baldaev.
this volume of drawings and photographs completes the Russian Criminal Tattoo Encyclopaedia
trilogy. Danzig Baldaev’s unparallelled ethnographic achievement, documenting more than 3,000
tattoo drawings, was made during a lifetime working as a prison guard. His recording of this esoteric
world was reported to the KgB, who unexpectedly supported him, realizing the importance of being
able to establish facts about convicts by reading the images on their bodies. the motifs depicted
represent the uncensored lives of the criminal classes, ranging from violence and pornography to
politics and alcohol. a medieval knight is surrounded by the severed heads of his enemies, a naked
woman simultaneously services a man and two dwarfs, a crying president gorbachev grips a human
bone between sabre-like fangs, a group of angels drink vodka with god on a cloud—the meanings of
these arresting images are explained to the uninitiated eye. Sergei vasiliev’s graphic photographs
show the grim reality of the russian prison system and some of the alarming characters that inhabit
it, while the illustrated criminals of russia tell the tale of their closed society. this volume, the last in
the trilogy, includes an introduction by historian alexander Sidorov exploring the origins of the
russian criminal tattoo and their various meanings today.

Despite its poor—that is, zero—rate of success (to date), predicting the end of the world has never
ceased to be a popular sport throughout the history of humankind. If the turn of the millennium has
appeared to provoke an uptick in this sport, this week- and month-at-a-glance calendar for 2013 shows
that apocalypse speculation dates back at least as far as the first century aD. Compiled by artist mark
Hagen, Doomsdate provides more than 200 listings of doomsday predictions, from the writings of
early Christian cults such as the Donatists to more recent lapses of sanity, such as ronald reagan’s observation
to James mills in 1971, regarding the Libyan revolution: “For the first time ever, everything
is in place for the Battle of armageddon and the Second Coming of Christ.” Bringing an improbably
apocalyptic twist to the homely format of the moleskin notebook, this leatherbound calendar contains
approximately 16 doomsday predictions per month, as well as a lengthy notebook section at the back.
