Celebrated works by such masters as Henri Cartier-Bresson, Walker Evans, Edward Steichen, Paul Strand, and Edward Weston are juxtaposed with vernacular documents and even amateur snapshots to analyze the fundamental challenges and opportunities that all photographers have faced.

By 1935 she was working for one of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal agencies, the Resettlement Administration (later the Farm Security Administration), bringing attention to the plights of sharecroppers, displaced families, and migrant workers. One day in Nipomo, California—driving home after a weeks-long assignment—the photographer stopped at a pea farm, where she came across a mother and her children, clearly desperate and close to starvation. Lange later recalled approaching them “as if drawn by a magnet.” The woman’s name was Florence Owens Thompson, and the result of their encounter was seven exposures, including \u003cem\u003eMigrant Mother\u003c\/em\u003e, which would become an emblem of the era and a landmark in the history of photography.

Shore was among the first artists to take color beyond the domain of advertising and fashion photography, and his large-format color work on the American vernacular landscape inaugurated a vital photographic tradition.  \u003ci\u003eUncommon Places: The Complete Works \u003c\/i\u003e, published by Aperture in 2005, presented a definitive collection of the landmark series, and in the span of a decade has become a contemporary classic. Now, for this lushly produced reissue, the artist has added nearly 20 rediscovered images and a statement explaining what it means to expand a classic series. Like Robert Frank and Walker Evans before him, Shore discovered a hitherto unarticulated vision of America via highway and camera. Approaching his subjects with cool objectivity, Shore retains precise systems of gestures in composition and light through which a hotel bedroom or a building on a side street assumes both an archetypal aura and an ambiguously personal importance. An essay by critic and curator Stephan Schmidt-Wulffen and a conversation with Shore by writer Lynne Tillman examine his methodology and elucidate his roots in Pop and Conceptual art. The texts are illustrated with reproductions from Shore's earlier series American Surfaces and Amarillo: Tall in Texas. At age 14 Stephen Shore (born 1947) had his work purchased by Edward Steichen for MoMA. At 17, Shore was a regular at Andy Warhol's Factory, producing an important photographic document of the scene.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"APERTURE FOUNDATION INC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44169710403814,"sku":"111220-111220","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0623\/7962\/2630\/files\/c4bed770-849f-45c7-b64a-b315ed76fd7a.jpg?v=1736959925"},{"product_id":"walker-evans-american-photographs-75th-anniversary-edition-hardcover","title":"Walker Evans: American Photographs (75th Anniversary Edition) - Hardcover","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTo look inside this book, click \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.moma.org\/momaorg\/shared\/pdfs\/docs\/publication_pdf\/3158\/Walker%20Evans%20PREVIEW2.pdf?1374519526\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e. \u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eEssay by Lincoln Kirstein\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eWalker Evans: American Photographs\u003c\/em\u003e was first published by The Museum of Modern Art in 1938 in a carefully prepared, deluxe letterpress edition to accompany an exhibition of photographs by Evans that captured scenes of the United States in the early 1930s.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eIt has been out of print for long periods since 1938, and subsequent editions—two of which altered the design and typography of the book in small but significant ways—are often unavailable outside libraries and rare-book stores.

Nevertheless, the painting remains unmistakably Kahlo’s. In 1940, in the wake of a divorce from her husband, the artist Diego Rivera, Kahlo turned to self-portraiture to express her deepest emotional and psychological impulses, and completed a painting inscribed with the lyrics of a popular song: “Look, if I loved you it was for your hair. Now that you’re without it, I no longer love you.” The work contains an array of influences and references that encompass both popular culture and details from the artist’s private life. An essay by the curator Jodi Roberts situates the painting in the context of the Mexican Revolution, the Surrealist tradition, and Kahlo’s history and ongoing construction of her artistic identity. 48 pp.; 35 illus.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eEach volume in the One on One series is a sustained meditation of a single work from the collection of The Museum of Modern Art.

Born in the Belgian Congo in 1948, Kingelez came of age in a period of tremendous change, as his country evolved in the complex years following Independence. He made his first artworks in the late 1970s in Kinshasa, the capital of the newly renamed nation of Zaire, transforming modest materials—paper, cardboard, plastic, and commercial packaging—into dazzling and intricate sculptures. Inspired in large part by the life and architecture of the capital (where he lived until his death in 2015), his works depict civic buildings, public monuments, national pavilions, and skyscrapers, both singly and combined into fantastical and expansive cities. Kingelez gained international renown through his participation in the landmark 1989 exhibition\u003cem\u003e Magiciens de la terre,\u003c\/em\u003e at the Centre Pompidou, Paris, and his sculptures have since been shown around the world.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePublished to accompany an exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, New York—the first-ever full retrospective of Kingelez’s practice—this catalogue traces the span of the artist’s thirty-year career, from his rarely seen early works to the large-scale cities of his later decades.

A wide range of authors—artists, curators, and historians of art, architecture, and film—focus on topics that have been largely neglected, such as the architectural structures that posit real or imaginary spaces as models for ethical inquiry and mechanisms of control. Curator Kathy Halbreich's introductory essay explores Nauman's many acts of disappearance, withdrawal, and deflection as revelatory of his central formal and intellectual concerns.

Capturing evanescent configurations of gesture, pose, and expression, her images reveal the street as surreal theater, and everyday life as art and mystery. The unguarded play of children understandably became Levitt’s particular preoccupation. She resisted political readings of her work and distanced herself from the progressive impulses of social documentary photography. But class, race, and gender are sharply, if quietly, observed in her images. The diffidence and seeming artlessness of Levitt’s work also belie her devotion to both popular and avant-garde cinema, the work of other photographers, and the art being shown in the city’s galleries and museums. Art historian Shamoon Zamir reveals the complexity of Levitt’s work through a close reading of one of her most iconic images. 48 pp.; 35 illus.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach volume in the One on One series is a sustained meditation of a single work from the collection of The Museum of Modern Art.
