Sculptural one-of-a-kind artist-bound copy of Alexey Brodovitch's&nbsp;Ballet.<ul><li>Alexey Brodovitch (Russian-American).</li><li>Sculptural-bound by artist Richard Tuttle (American,&nbsp;b. 1951) in 2013.</li><li>New York: J.J.

Tuttle describes his work as follows:&nbsp;“I make literary artifacts. They are designed to pull books down off the shelf and display them in the salon, gallery or home [...] I seek to find a perspective that shouts out a piece of the essence of the literary work. I try to put myself in the author's or character's mind to say something about the time it was written in; the attitude that is explored and expressed; the magic that makes it a work of art."

Albert Watson

Limited edition book with signed print - KAOS&nbsp;presents a&nbsp;kaleidoscopic overview of Watson’s career&nbsp;to date, and the dazzling array of subjects, objects, people and places he has encountered along the way.<ul><li>Albert Watson (Scottish).</li><li>Edited by Reuel Golden (British).</li><li>Köln:&nbsp;Taschen,&nbsp;2017.</li><li>408 pages.</li><li>Hardcover with faux chimpanzee fur fitting.</li><li>Art Edition no. 101–150, edition of 50.</li><li>Signed by Watson.</li><li>Accompanied by signed print&nbsp;Breaunna, Las Vegas, 2001, printed on archival paper by Watson in his studio.</li><li>Presented in&nbsp;a clamshell box.</li></ul> One of the most important names in photography, Albert Watson has created powerful and alluring pictures that blur the lines between fine art and commercial work.&nbsp;&nbsp;Born in Edinburgh and blind in one eye, Watson studied graphic design, film, television and photography before moving to Los Angeles in 1970, where he continued photography as a hobby. A chance liaison with an art director introduced his work to Max Factor, where he booked his first job, and the fashion world soon took notice.&nbsp;&nbsp;Some of Watson’s most recognizable images include the 1973 Christmas issue of&nbsp;Harper’s Bazaar&nbsp;featuring Alfred Hitchcock holding up a plucked goose, and the black and white portrait of Steve Jobs which was used for the autobiography and memorial. Other images have ranged from shots of Kate Moss to Keith Richards, President Clinton to Queen Elizabeth II, who honored him with an OBE in 2015. Watson’s work has appeared on over 100 covers of&nbsp;Vogue, as well as&nbsp;Rolling Stone&nbsp;and&nbsp;TIME&nbsp;magazine, in addition to Hollywood posters for films such as&nbsp;Kill Bill&nbsp;and&nbsp;The Da Vinci Code. The Photo District News considers Albert Watson one of the most influential photographers in the history of the profession.&nbsp;

Extraordinary panoramas depict famous landmarks from dawn to dusk.&nbsp;<ul><li>Stephen Wilkes (American, b. 1957).</li><li>TASCHEN, 2019.</li><li>60 epic panoramas&nbsp;created between 2009 and 2018, shot everywhere from Africa’s Serengeti to the Champs-Élysées in Paris, from the Grand Canyon to Coney Island, from Trafalgar Square to The Red Square.&nbsp;</li><li>Includes inkjet print&nbsp;of Grand Canyon, Arizona, 2015, on Legacy Baryta 310 smooth satin paper, 30.2 x 18.1 in.</li><li>Book and print are both numbered and signed by Wilkes.</li><li>Edition of 100 (101–200).</li><li>Hardcover with two foldouts in clamshell box, 262 pages.</li></ul> In Stephen Wilkes’ conceptual Day to Night series, day magically merges into night in a panoramic photograph. Offering a bird’s-eye view on bustling locations such as Brooklyn Bridge and D.C.’s National Mall, he curates the human experience in motion. As a documentary photographer also known for his work in the commercial and fine arts, Wilkes’ Day to Night series was inspired after a challenging session on the set of Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo + Juliet. To capture the entire ballroom, he had to take numerous smaller photographs and digitally stitch them together. While doing this, he discovered that the central shot of Claire Danes and Leonardo DiCaprio mismatched their image in the set’s mirror on the far end, which showed them kissing, giving the final panorama an unexpected narrative and sense of time. Other works have included Ellis Island: Ghosts of Freedom, a five-year project photographing the abandoned medical wards on Ellis Island. Wilkes has also shot Hurricanes Sandy and Katrina, the Biden inauguration and directed Jay Myself, a documentary about his mentor Jay Maisel vacating the storied building at 190 Bowery. A National Geographic explorer with numerous accolades, Wilkes has been featured on NPR, TED Talks and CBS Sunday Morning.
