“My new book, Profiles, is a collection of portraits taken over the last six to eight years, including exceptional profiles of creatives in the arts and cinema, plus meaningful images of family and friends. The images originate from editorial assignments and personal sittings, and are a reflection on my fascination with the person and their innate beauty and character.”

teNeues introduces a beautifully bound, slip-cased Collector's Edition of Pure Dance, the extraordinary collection of dance photographs published this season. In a series of breathtakingly beautiful pictures taken over a period of five years, Dieter Blum focuses his astute camera on 37 of 53 dancers in the world-renowned Stuttgart Ballet to explore the sculptural aspects of this exquisitely schooled human form; its strength, suppleness, discipline, mystery and possibilities for movement. Because all of the dancers are photographed in the nude, Blum succeeds in capturing the dynamic movement, musicality, and magic of the classically trained dance artist. Each photograph is a distilled, evocative frozen fragment of an art form that by its nature is fleeting and ephemeral.

Dieter Blum's photographs of musicians, dancers, and artists have appeared in Vanity Fair, Time, Spiegel, and Stern. He divides his time between Dьsseldorf and Esslingen, Germany.

In Radiant Identities, photographer Jock Sturges explores issues of youth and the liberation of body and spirit.

These unforgettable images are made from his own circle of acquaintances and family; the settings are their homes and stretches of naturist beaches in France and Northern California. In superb reproductions, Sturges evokes the classical spirit of Old Master paintings and late-nineteenth-century photographic tableaux, while probing concepts of emergent sexuality and psychological intimacy. Radiant Identities is the second volume in Sturges's ongoing work. Physically and psychically revealing, these deeply felt images are gloriously natural and wonderfully compelling. Elizabeth Beverly's introductory essay, drawn in part from conversations with Sturges's subjects, adds a new dimension to the photographs.

These personal reflections shed light on the unique collaborative process by which Sturges's remarkable photographs are made. In the book's afterword, noted photography critic A.D. Coleman places Sturges in the context of current debates surrounding censorship in the arts, and discusses the themes of innocence and sexuality in the photographs.

A decade after his first TASCHEN book, Deus ex machina, master photographer Ralph Gibson returns with an exquisite collection of nudes, combining the best of his recent work with an in-depth interview by Eric Fischl. Strikingly graphic, meticulously composed, and loaded with subtle provocations, Gibson’s mysterious, dreamlike images pay homage to greats such as Man Ray and Edward Weston, while continually pursuing new frontiers.

Ray Petri, der "König des Männer-Stylings", war einer der einflussreichsten und erfolgreichsten Mode-Stylisten der 80er-Jahre. Als er 1989 starb, wünschte er sich von seinen Freunden, ein Buch über seine Buffalo-Arbeit zusammenzustellen. Dieses liegt nun vor, und das Ergebnis ist ein Lobgesang auf einen Mann, der als erster Männern Röcke anzog und schwarze Models einsetzte.

Was aber war Buffalo? Der Begriff kommt aus der Karibik und bedeutet etwa so viel wie "harte Jungs, Aufsässige". Buffalo war eine Gruppe junger, kreativer Leute, die sich aus Sängern (Nick Kamen, Neneh Cherry), Fotografen (u.a. Jamie Morgan und Marc Lebon), Stylisten (Mitzi Lorenz u.a.) und Ray Petri, der treibenden Kraft hinter allem, zusammensetzte. Durch ihre Arbeit im Bereich der Männermode definierten sie den urbanen Look der Jugendkultur der 80er-Jahre. Petri beschrieb Buffalo als einen "funktionalen und gestylten Look; Antimode mit einer gehörigen Prise Rotzigkeit." Wie bei fast allen Veröffentlichungen des Verlags Schirmer/Mosel, ist auch dieses Buch ein liebevoll und aufwändig gestalteter Fotoband. 150 meist großformatige Schwarzweiß- und Farbaufnahmen sowie mehrere Essays von Freunden und Bekannten bringen die Atmosphäre der wilden Zeit der Buffalos und das Besondere, das Ungewöhnliche dieser ungestümen Gruppe hervorragend rüber.

Am beeindruckendsten an diesem Band ist, dass die Bilder und Stylings sich von allen anderen Modefotografien der Achtziger dahingehend unterscheiden, dass sie zeitlos sind -- auch auf die Gefahr hin, dass dieser Begriff abgegriffen erscheint. Vielen erscheint die Mode der 80er-Jahre -- selbst heute, in der Zeit des "Retro" -- als unmöglich und schrecklich hässlich. Ganz anders in diesem Buch: Obwohl es eine Hymne auf die Achtziger ist, erzählen die Bilder ebenso von früheren oder späteren -- und auch von heutigen Zeiten. Sie sind einfach anders und... na: zeitlos eben! Grund genug, sie sich immer wieder und wieder anzusehen. Und was verlangt man mehr von einem guten, gelungenen Fotoband?

Communism and its fall had a worldwide impact, but none felt the changes more than the previously Soviet states. In 2007 and 2008, photographer Nick Hannes travelled across the 15 former Soviet republics and took pictures of the different consequences of the breakdown of the Soviet Union in 1991. This publication includes intense photography of a developing region full of contrasts: extreme wealth amidst poverty; and golden statues of new dictators in cities of concrete. It shows how much change has already occured and how much is still to come, with experienced photographer Nick Hannes' poignant images.

Tribute to Ren Hang. The Chinese photographer’s international and complete career monograph

The only international collection of Beijing photographer Ren Hang, whose images garnered some 90 shows in his brief six-year career, as well as a mass following online. Vivid and explicit, Hang’s images capture naked subjects outdoors, exposed, erect, and in an entanglement of bodies that put him at the forefront of a gender fluid world and of Chinese artists’ battle for creative freedom.

Ren Hang, who took his life February 23, 2017, was an unlikely rebel. Slight of build, shy by nature, prone to fits of depression, the 29-year-old Beijing photographer was nonetheless at the forefront Chinese artists’ battle for creative freedom. Like his champion Ai Weiwei, Ren was controversial in his homeland and wildly popular in the rest of the world. He said, “I don’t really view my work as taboo, because I don’t think so much in cultural context, or political context. I don’t intentionally push boundaries, I just do what I do.”

Why? Because his models, friends, and in his last years, fans, are naked, often outdoors, high in the trees or on the terrifyingly vertiginous rooftops of Beijing, stacked like building blocks, heads wrapped in octopi, body cavities sprouting phone cords and flowers, whatever entered his mind at the moment. He denied his intentions were sexual, and there is a clean detachment about even his most extreme images: the urine, the insertions, the many, many erections. In a 2013 interview VICE magazine asked, “there are a lot of dicks … do you just like dicks?” Ren responded, “It’s not just dicks I’m interested in, I like to portray every organ in a fresh, vivid and emotional way.” True though that may be, the penises Ren photographed were not just fresh and vivid, but unusually large, making one wonder just where he met his friends.

In the same piece, Hang also stated, “Gender isn’t important when I’m taking pictures, it only matters to me when I’m having sex,” making him a pioneer of gender inclusiveness. Young fans still eagerly flock to his website and Facebook, Instagram, and Flickr accounts. His photographs, all produced on film, have been the subject of over 20 solo and 70 group shows in his brief six-year career, in cities as disparate as Tokyo, Athens, Paris, New York, Copenhagen, Frankfurt, Vienna, and yes, even Beijing. He self-published 16 monographs, in tiny print runs, that now sell for up to $ 600. TASCHEN’s Ren Hang is his only international collection, covering his entire career, with well-loved favourites and many never-before-seen photos of men, women, Beijing, and those many, many erections. We take solace remembering Ren’s joy when he first held the book, shared by his long-time partner Jiaqi, featured on the cover.

The photographer:

Chinese photographer Ren Hang (1987–2017) was born in Changchun, Jilin Province, and lived and worked in Beijing. Over his brief six-year career, Hang’s surreal, startling, gender-fluid images gained a huge international following as well as over 20 solo and 70 group shows.

The editor:

Dian Hanson produced a variety of men’s magazines from 1976 to 2001, including Juggs, Outlaw Biker, and Leg Show, before becoming TASCHEN’s Sexy Book Editor. Her titles include the “body part” series, The Art of Pin-up, Psychedelic Sex, and Ren Hang.

In this book, photographer Henk van Cauwenbergh introduces us to the marvelous worlds of matador Jean-Baptiste Jalabert (France) and prima ballerina Francesca Docli (Italy). The public's favourite 'Juan Bautista', born in Arles, France and ballet dancer Francesca Dolci, a flamboyant member of the Les Ballets de Monte Carlo are the representatives par excellence of a world in which sports and art seamlessly melt together. Follow both top athletes/performers during their daily preparations, become a privileged witness to the particular rituals preceding each performance and be a spectator of a dazzling sham fight at the Mediterranean!

About the Author:

Henk van Cauwenbergh is an internationally renowned portrait and fashion photographer. In 2006, he published his first book Le Matin in which he portrays 100 women, of nineteen different countries, during their morning ritual.

Spanish photographer Eugenio Recuenco has gained widespread acclaim as a noted advertising and fashion photographer.

With other-worldly narratives of great vitality, his complex signature style uses elaborate handmade scenery and contains multiple references to art history - the Renaissance, Picasso, Tamara de Lempicka just to mention a few of his varied influences. A highly cinematic photographer with an innate storytelling flair, it is hardly surprising Recuenco has also created a number of award-winning works in commercial spots and short films.

This is the first book to showcase the work of this accomplished visual artist who is certain to be a star of significant and enduring renown.

With the Middle East and Asia as his far-ranging home territory, Reza has chronicled 30 years of turmoil, hope, and splendor for a host of international publications including Newsweek, Time, Geo, and National Geographic magazines. Now, he displays some of his most dramatic works in Reza War and Peace – a powerful and moving photo collection that illuminates current events and recent history in places of conflict we see represented in the news every day. These remarkable pictures convey torment and upheaval, but also the art, culture, and traditions of Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, and other areas – as well as the photographer’s understanding of humanity and deep commitment to justice. Reza trains his lens not just on war and conflict, but also on friendship and loyalty, family life and love. The book follows Reza’s photographic career and is narrated in his own words, focusing our attention on the costs of war and the human condition. Sebastian Junger contributes an introduction, offering intimate insight into what it's like to work with his longtime friend and collaborator.

Despite the challenging subject matter, Reza’s message is not despairing, but ultimately hopeful. For readers interested in world history, current events, and the human experience, this photographic tour de force is a must.

An irrepressible innovator, Avedon has consistently defied conventional expectations about what a portrait is supposed to look like..." - Maria Morris Hambourg and Mia Fineman For over 50 years, Richard Avedon (b. 1923) has captured the creative genius of our time with dazzling insight and incomparable style. Spanning the artist's entire career, from the late 1940s through his most recent work, Richard Avedon Portraits offers a superb selection of his photographic portraits. With uncompromising directness, Avedon portrayed his subjects against a white background, with no extraneous details to distract from the essential specificity of face, gaze, dress, and gesture. This challenging innovation, coupled with the artist's intense interest in his subjects and mastery of his craft, resulted in mesmerizing portraits — among them Truman Capote, Willem de Kooning, Samuel Beckett, Francis Bacon, and Marilyn Monroe, as well as the uncelebrated Americans of his project, "In the American West" that rival the greatest works in the portrait tradition. Richard Avedon Portraits is published to accompany a major exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. With its innovative accordion-style design and superb reproductions, the book is a virtual stand-alone mini-exhibition in its own right.

About the Author:

Richard Avedon is one of the most influential photographers of the second half of the 20th century. His portrait work comprises an authoritative record of our era. His many books have set a standard for photographic publishing. As a staff photographer for Harper's Bazaar and later for Vogue, Avedon redefined what a fashion photograph is. In 1992 he was named the first staff photographer in the history of The New Yorker. Maria Morris Hambourg is Curator in Charge of the Department of Photographs at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. She has written and contributed to many books on the history of photography. Mia Fineman is a Research Assistant in the Department of Photographs at The Metropolitan Museum

Performance, von der Richard Avedon Foundation zusammengestellt, ist Avedons Hommage an alle Spielarten der darstellenden Kunste. Avedon liebte das Theater und war vom Buhnengeschehen seiner Zeit ebenso fasziniert wie von dessen Protagonisten. Alles, was in dieser schillernden Szene in den vergangenen 50 Jahren Rang und Namen hatte, landete fruher oder spater in seinem Studio: Judy Garland und Chaplin, Horowitz und Bernstein, die Beatles und Bob Dylan, Marlon Brando und Frank Sinatra, Martha Graham, Rudolf Nurejew, Merce Cunningham …

"We all perform. It's what we do for each other all the time, deliberately or unintentionally. It's a way of telling about ourselves in the hope of being recognized as what we'd like to be."
 - Richard Avedon, 1974

The preeminent stars and artists of the performing arts from the second half of the 20th century offered their greatest gifts - and, sometimes, their inner lives - to Richard Avedon. More than 200 are portrayed in Performance, many in photographs that have been rarely or never seen before. Of course, the great stars light the way: Hepburn and Chaplin, Monroe and Garland, Brando and Sinatra. But here too are the actors and comedians, pop stars and divas, musicians and dancers, artists in all mediums with public lives that were essentially performances, who stand at the pinnacle of our cultural achievement.

The celebrated author and critic John Lahr offers an elegant assessment of Avedon’s achievement. Four supremely talented artists from the performing arts - Mike Nichols, André Gregory, Mitsuko Uchida, and Twyla Tharp - contribute lively and moving memoirs about their collaborations with Avedon.
