Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. First edition, first printing. Hardcover.

Photographs, text and editing by Eduardo del Valle and Mirta Gómez. Additional photographs and text by Tony Mendoza and Abelardo Morell. Additional text by Guillermo Cabrera Infante.

Unpaginated (96 pp.), with 69 four-color plates and 5 black-and-white plates plus numerous additional color illustrations. 12 x 9-1/2 inches. New in publisher's shrink-wrap. From Nazraeli Press: "For this fourth volume in the Witness series, Eduardo del Valle and Mirta Gómez present photographs taken in the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico where for over twenty years they have focused on the metamorphosis of the vernacular domestic architecture of the region. The husband and wife team's selection for this volume is comprised of 'Sections of Time,' a voluminous on-going project where the same dwellings are photographed from the same spot over a number of years, bearing witness to how the structures are affected by seasonal changes and the passage of time. The fascination that del Valle and Gomez have with these houses has come to epitomize their own transformation as first generation immigrants - and like the houses they photograph, they, too, have had to adapt, change and evolve in order to survive. Witness Number 4 closes with a presentation of work by two other Cuban-American photographers who, like del Valle and Gomez, witnessed the start of the Cuban revolution in the late 1950s and who also emigrated to the United States in the early '60s: Tony Mendoza and Abelardo Morell.".

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Lee Friedlander (illustrator). 1st Edition. First edition, first printing. Hardcover. Black matte paper-covered boards with tipped-in black-and-white plate and title stamped in gray on cover, with rust cloth-covered spine; no dust jacket as issued. Photographs by Lee Friedlander. Afterword by Maria Friedlander. Includes a list of plates and an illustrated overview of JGS activities in the arts. Unpaginated (96 pp.), with 157 duotone plates and additional illustrations. 12 x 9-1/2 inches. New in publisher's shrink-wrap. From Nazraeli Press: "Witness Number 6 provides a portrait -- in 157 photographs by Lee Friedlander, and accompanying essay by Maria Friedlander -- of the sculptor Raoul Hague. The Friedlanders knew Hague for over two and a half decades, and their deep fondness for, and mutual trust with, the Armenian-born sculptor comes through in every image and word of this gorgeous addition to JGS's Witness series." From the text by Maria Friedlander: "Lee and I have shared a number of unconventionally interesting friends during our five decades together, people who show us an unusual way of living a life. I would put Raoul Hague on that list, maybe at the top. Beginning in the mid 1960s and continuing for more than 25 years, Lee and I and our children visited him at the Woodstock, New York, cabin where he lived and worked. To enter Hague's cabin was entering his universe. It was not simply a dwelling and a studio but a carefully organized way of life, a reflection of an esthetic ideal. All he did, whether work or pleasure, was driven by this ideal, which he created for himself and carried out without compromise. Hague was the quintessential storybook artist.".

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. First edition, first printing. Hardcover. Black matte paper-covered boards with tipped-in four-color plate and title stamped in gray on cover, with blue cloth-covered spine; no dust jacket as issued. Photographs, text and editing by Martin Parr. Additional photographs and text by Rob Hornstra, Mark Neville and Bart Sorgedrager. Additional photographs by Keizo Kitajama, Kohei Yoshiyuki and Osamu Kanemura. Essay by Susie Parr. Interview with Martin Parr by Gerry Badger. Includes an illustrated overview of JGS activities in the arts. Unpaginated (84 pp.), with 42 four-color plates, 15 black and white plates plus numerous additional color illustrations. 12 x 9-1/2 inches. New in publisher's shrink-wrap. From Nazraeli Press: "Martin Parr is the subject and guest-editor of Witness Number 3, the successful new series published by JGS, Inc. and distributed by Nazraeli Press. For his contribution to the series--in which one artist is selected for each volume to present [his] own work as well as work by other artists--Parr unleashes his scorching humor in the series 'Art World,' photographs made at art gallery and museum openings which reveal more about the art world than some may be comfortable with. This highly entertaining body of work is tempered by the somewhat gentler look at Sri Lanka, made in collaboration with Susie Parr, called 'Little England.' Together, Martin Parr's photographs and Susie Parr's text create a verbal and visual snapshot of Nuwara Eliya, a hill town in the heart of Sri Lanka. Parr rounds out his volume of Witness with a section called 'Three Ways to Make a Book,' which documents how photographers Rob Hornstra, Mark Neville, and Bart Sorgedrager were able to self-publish and distribute their own books; a presentation of portfolios by Japanese photographers Keizo Kitajama, Kohei Yoshiyuki, and Osamu Kanemura; and an interview with Parr conducted by Gerry Badger.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. First edition, first printing. Hardcover. Black matte paper covered boards with tipped-in black and white plate and title stamped in gray on cover, with red cloth-covered spine; no dust jacket as issued. Photographs, text and editing by Daido Moriyama. Additional photographs by Emi Anrakuji and Ken Kitano. Includes an illustrated overview of JGS activities in the arts. Unpaginated (96 pp.), with 59 black and white plates plus numerous additional color illustrations. 12 x 9-1/2 inches. New in publisher's shrink-wrap. From Nazraeli Press: "For this second volume in the Witness series, Daido Moriyama, as artist and editor, presents work in which -- although not immediately apparent -- reality collides with imagination. First he presents his own photographs, taken in Shanghai -- in a place he had visited for the first time only the year before, but one that had been present in his mind since childhood. Moriyama was born the year after Shanghai was occupied by Japanese forces. The port city came to embody 'a city of drama, romance and exotic seductions.' Coupled with his boyish dreams of becoming a sailor, this image of Shanghai stayed with him for a long time. These pictures are the reality he found as he wandered the streets with his camera. Moriyama also presents the work of two other Japanese artists: Emi Anrakuji's jigsaw puzzle-like portraits of herself -- naked, clothed or partially dressed -- blur the boundaries between documentary and staged photography. Ken Kitano has photographed numerous people of the same age or having the same occupation, and has then exposed dozens of the negatives, one at a time, onto a single sheet of paper. The resulting 'Piling Portraits' are amazing.".

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. First edition, first printing. Hardcover. Black matte paper covered boards with tipped-in four-color plate and title stamped in gray on cover, with light gray cloth-covered spine, no dust jacket as issued. Photographs, text, editing and design by Stephen Shore. Additional photographs by Shannon Ebner, Jamie O'Shea and Laura Gail Tyler, selected by Shore from among his recent students at Bard College. Essay "11 Interesting Photography Books About Which Very Little is Known," by Martin Parr. Conversation with Shore by Jeff Rosenheim. Includes an illustrated overview of JGS activities in the arts. Unpaginated (72 pp.), with 23 four-color plates and three black and white plates plus numerous additional color illustrations. 12 x 9-1/2 inches. New in publisher's shrink-wrap. From Nazraeli Press: "Magazines and books are generally edited and designed by unseen hands, hands that are often limited by the ideas and agendas of the publisher. What if, we thought, an artist was not only the primary focus of each issue in this biannual series, but as 'guest editor' was also responsible for the design of its cover and much of its contents as well? Stephen Shore is currently creating a series of small, limited edition books that will serve as 'visual time capsules.' As Shore himself is exploring the basic ideas of what a book is, he was the ideal choice for Witness Number One. The title for the series is borrowed: Daido Moriyama and Michael Kenna gave a joint presentation in Tokyo earlier this year on their mutual passion for, and work made on, Japan's northernmost island, Hokkaido. During the presentation, Moriyama described himself as a 'witness' rather than a participant in the events that he captures on film. The idea of being a witness -- of transcending the importance of Self and instead focusing on what one sees in one's surroundings -- has deep roots. Daido Moriyama will be the subject and guest editor of Witness Number Two.".
