Summary:
Every five years or thereabouts, the Fraenkel Gallery in San Francisco finds itself with a number of unrelated works of photography that stand out and which ultimately get collected in one of the gallery's award-winning and sought-after quintannual publications. This book includes a collection of images by unknown photographers alongside several dozen photographs made by serious artists with complicated intentions. Jeffrey Fraenkel opened Fraenkel Gallery in San Francisco in 1979. Since that time the gallery has presented almost 300 exhibitions spanning the history of photography.

Summary:
Latest addition in the long running series of found photography, in which editor Erik Kessels explores a collection of amateur and overlooked imagery. #9 features the story of one family's attempts to photograph their black dog over several decades. Posed usually with his owners in domestic settings, for years the lack of light and camera limitations make the dog appear as a vague blob. Only at the book's uplifting conclusion does the family's equipment and technique match their ambition, as their pet is finally captured in all his glory, illustrating a tale of optimism and perseverance.

Summary:
Positions addresses the ascent of architectural photography as a discipline, and the changing role of the architectural photographer. Once merely charged with providing a purely documentary representation of a building, the architectural photographer now offers a personal interpretation of the work of the architect, urban planner or landscape designer. The common factor that unites the photographers presented here--Theo Baart, Bas Princen, Ralph Kamena, Jannes Linders, Jeroen Musch and Hans Werlemann--is that each of them has brought a highly personal perspective to bear upon their approach to their commissions, and that each of their oeuvres has had a direct impact on contemporary architecture and urban planning. Positions examines the photographer's emancipation from documentary constraint to creative agency.

Summary:
The New Topographics: Photographs of a Man-Altered Landscape was one of those rare exhibitions that permanently alters how an art form is perceived. Held at the International Museum of Photography in Rochester, New York, in January 1975, curator William Jenkins brought together ten contemporary photographers: Robert Adams, Lewis Baltz, Bernd and Hilla Becher, Joe Deal, Frank Gohlke, Nicholas Nixon, John Schott, Stephen Shore and Henry Wessel, Jr. Signaling the emergence of a new approach to landscape, New Topographics has since come to be understood as marking a paradigm shift, for the show occurred just as photography ceased to be an isolated, self-defined practice and took its place within the contemporary art world. In this vital reassessment of the genre, essays by Britt Salvesen and Alison Nordström accompany illustrations of selected works from the 1975 exhibition, with installation views and contextual comparisons, to demonstrate both the historical significance of New Topographics and its continued relevance today.

Summary:
The range of photographic vision in the National Gallery’s collection of 19th Century French photographs is vast. The collection extends from topographical photographers who made little pretense to art but, because of the sensitivity and skill produced work that transcends the original purpose, to those who considered themselves as artists and the photographs they produced as art. With over 200 illustrations, this abundantly illustrated publication features an original essay on the development of photography in 19th Century France as well as sixty-six individual presentations. Among the dozens of photographers discussed are Eugène Atget, Edouard Baldus, Maxime Du Camp, Gustave Le Gray, Charles Nègre, and Auguste Salzmann. James Borcoman is the Curator Emeritus of Photographs for the National Gallery and the author of several books including monographs on Eugène Atget and Yousuf Karsh. After Modernist Photographs from the National Gallery of Canada, this is the second publication in a series devoted to the Gallery's photography collection.

Summary:
Wild or cultivated, rural or urban, solitary or within a forest, trees have long provided a compelling source of inspiration for artists and photographers alike. Both as stand-alone aesthetic objects and as symbols of broader cultural significance, trees have an understated, sometimes underappreciated, ability to evoke a deep, primal sense of wonder. Whether captured as functional botanical records or as a means of creative expression, "Into the Woods" is an introduction to the ways in which distinctive patterns of branch, bark, leaf, and root have continued to offer arresting subjects for photographers across the centuries.

La production massive d’objets tend aujourd’hui à redéfinir la frontière entre les choses matérielles, prétendument inertes et passives, et l’être humain, considéré comme l’unique sujet doté d’agentivité. Loin d’être imperméable à cette redéfinition, l’image s’épand désormais hors de l’espace bidimensionnel : elle devient un objet en soi. Les artistes, auteures et auteurs du présent ouvrage s’intéressent ainsi aux univers qui se construisent entre les individus et leur environnement matériel, mettant en relief les rapports de réciprocité qui s’opèrent entre sujet et objet.
