<p>Zoo is a wild ride through Anders Petersen's oeuvre, a racy edit of his work that has animals as its central theme. Whether they be conscious portraits of animals or a haphazard photographic encounter with a woman's legs in python-print tights, Petersen draws out the animal and animalistic in all that he sees. At a typical zoo we are the spectators, peering in on creatures as they go about their existence, mostly oblivious to our presence. Yet in Zoo we find ourselves both behind and before the bars of the cage--with Petersen as the delighted zookeeper.</p>

<p>This book is the latest of Anders Petersen's award-winning City Diaries, the first three of which are now out of print. Throughout his career Petersen has traveled extensively and documented life beyond the margins of polite society, a shadowy world of pleasure and sin including prostitutes, transvestites, alcoholics, nighttime lovers and adult conflict. Through his candid, empathetic yet somewhat detached eye, he discloses difficult realities such as drug addiction with a sense of bewilderment and currency. City Diary #4 shows Petersen's ongoing photographic engagement with the gritty and beautiful in life as it unfolds before him.</p>

Anders Petersen: City Diary #4

This book presents little-known photos by the legendary Swedish photographer Christer Strömholm (1918–2002) selected by Gunnar Smoliansky. In the late 1980s, gallerist Kim Klein proposed a small exhibition of Strömholm’s pictures at the Lido Gallery in Stockholm. Strömholm agreed and entrusted Smoliansky with making a selection from his early 6x6 Rolleiflex negatives. Smoliansky was delighted to do so―the planned 10 to 12 photos soon ballooned to 70―and he printed two sets, one for Strömholm and one for himself. The photos date from the late 1940s and early ’50s, and show Strömholm’s formative years in Paris, the south of France, Morocco and other destinations. Most of these pictures had never before been printed, let alone publicized, until their exhibition in 1990.
