Photography 20 Beaton Portraits New Terence Pepper With a foreword by Roy Strong and an essay by Peter Conrad Sir Cecil Beaton (1904–1980) was one of the most renowned photographers of his generation. A major contributor to Vogue and Vanity Fair in Britain, France, and America, Beaton captured for posterity such admired subjects as artists Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dalí, Andy Warhol, and Richard Avedon; actresses Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, and Greta Garbo; statesmen and politicians Winston Churchill and Robert Kennedy; and, of course, Britain’s Royal Family. This sumptuously illustrated book—published on the centenary of Beaton’s birth—brings together many of his evocative portraits in celebration of his remarkable life and work. This book features an illustrated essay discussing the wide range of Beaton’s career as well as a portfolio of 160 beautiful reproductions of his most famous portraits and an extended illustrated chronology. 2004 240 pp. 150 duotone + 80 color illus. Cloth ISBN 10289-5 $50.00 Diane Arbus: Family Albums New Anthony W. Lee and John Pultz This book presents a significant body of previously unpublished pictures by Diane Arbus and proposes a radically new way to understand her goals, strategies, and overall work. Examining unknown contact sheets from several of Arbus’s portrait sessions, including more than three hundred photographs she took of a New York family one weekend in 1969, Anthony W. Lee and John Pultz put to the test Arbus’s claim that she was developing a “family album.” They reveal a photographer far more savvy with the camera, more aware of photography as an artistic and commercial practice, and more sensitive to the social and cultural tensions of the 1960s than has been acknowledged before. This book accompanies an exhibition at the Grey Gallery, New York University (January 13 to March 27, 2004); Portland Museum of Art, Maine (June 5 to September 6, 2004); the Spencer Museum of Art, University of Kansas (October 16, 2004 to January 16, 2005); and other venues to be announced.

This intriguing book looks closely at this strand of fashion design in the 1990s, exploring what its disturbing themes tell us about consumer culture and contemporary anxieties. Fashion at the Edge considers a range of cutting-edge contemporary fashion in unprecedented depth and detail, including the work of such current designers as John Galliano, Alexander McQueen, Hussein Chalayan, and Viktor & Rolf. Contrasting images by photographers like Steven Meisel, Nick Knight, and Juergen Teller are also reviewed. Drawing on diverse perspectives from Marx to Walter Benjamin, Evans shows that fashion stands at the very center of the contemporary, and that it voices some of Western culture’s deepest concerns. 2003 334 pp. 100 b/w + 100 color illus.
