Peter Hujar, a New Yorker of Ukrainian descent, died of AIDS in 1987. He recorded the world in astonishing portraits of cows, sheep, and geese in the country, dogs in the studio, the sea, the city, and above all his fellow human beings, many of whom have since won fame: Susan Sontag, John Waters, Divine, William S. Borroughs, Candy Darling, Robert Wilson, David Wojnarowicz, Paul Thek, and many men, in the nude, half-dressed, sleeping, posing, tumescent. People, animals, landscapes - Peter Hujar approached them all with great respect and a perfect sense of balance between near and far. His subjects face us with supremely dignified singularity, with loneliness at times, and at times in an aura of dauntless and "splendid isolation."

Chaque chapitre s’ouvre sur une publication à laquelle elles ont chacunes donné lieu et des documents d’archives qui permettent de recontextualiser la série.

This beautifully illustrated monograph accompanies a full retrospective on the acclaimed Dutch photographer and filmmaker Ed van der Elsken. Known for his unconventional technique and gritty, evocative images of people and places, Ed van der Elsken was a self- taught photographer whose work documented his own life and travels. This book offers a definitive overview of van der Elsken’s entire oeuvre, including his groundbreaking photo novel, Love on the Left Bank and his paean to 1950s Amsterdam, Once Upon a Time. On display at Amsterdam’s famed Stedelijk Museum, the exhibition at the center of this book focuses on the museum’s extensive collection of van der Elsken’s prints, and on the renowned installations he mounted there during his lifetime. Essays reveal the photographer’s early influences, including Weegee, Henri Cartier-Bresson, and Robert Capa, while also showing how his confident, unorthodox, and self-expressionist style paved the way for late 20th-century photographers, including Larry Clark, Nan Goldin, and Wolfgang Tillmans.

Ed van der Elsken: Camera in Love

Prestel

Perhaps it's the same light that inspired Vermeer and van Gogh, or maybe it's government support for the arts or the excellent photo museums and galleries; something must explain the explosion of Dutch photography over the past 20 years. Besides the rise of Rineke Dijkstra to art stardom, other vital Dutch photographers working in a range of styles have been making strong marks on the medium. This catalogue from an exhibition sponsored by the LaSalle Bank that appeared at The Art Institute of Chicago features established and emerging photographers, including Rinkeke Dijkstra, Bertien van Manen, Hans van der Meer, Wijnanda Deroo, Celine van Balen, Koos Breukel, Juul Hondius, Hellen van Meene, Elspeth Diederix and Marnix Goossens.

Many of today's artists display an affinity for the techniques and subjects of 1960s and 70s conceptual art. A new look at the work of Bas Jan Ader, Carl Andre, Art &amp; Language, John Baldessari, Marcel Broodthaers, Daniel Buren, Jan Dibbets, Gilbert &amp; George, Joseph Kosuth, Sol Lewitt, Bruce Nauman, On Kawara, Edward Ruscha, Robert Ryman, Robert Smithson, Lawrence Weiner, and others bears exploring in relation to the processes and themes of contemporary art. By considering conceptual art in the Netherlands and Belgium from 1965-1975, this publication hopes to answer such questions, especially in relation to the Netherlands as a melting pot for ideas and the importance of Dutch institutions in supporting and disseminating conceptual art.
