Mark Haworth-Booth
Photography: An Independent Art, Photographs from the Victoria and Albert Museum 1839-1996
1997
Book hardbound
11-1/2 x 10 in. (292 x 254 mm)
Princeton Univ Pr, Princeton, NJ, 1997. US First edition, first printing. In VF condition and fine dust jacket (with one tiny open tear). 208 pp. Illustrated throughout in color and black and white. Photography: An Independent Art is both a history of photography and a guide to appreciating fine photographs. It is also a remarkable account of photography's changing status as a collectable medium. The V&A Photography Collection is one of the earliest in existence, dating back to the foundation of the Museum in the 1850s. Through 100 of its most important photographs, this book tells the fascinating story of how the new medium of photography was embraced by a new kind of museum, which concerned itself with the arts of everyday life and with a large popular audience. Illustrations and text show how photography was perceived initially as art, then later as a powerful means of communication offering a compelling window on the world and still later --from the 1960s--as a fashionable art medium once again. Its shifting identity is vividly demonstrated by the work of such highly acclaimed and diverse talents as Julia Margaret Cameron, Edward Steichen, Eugene Atget, Man Ray, Bill Brandt, David Bailey, Cindy Sherman and Nan Goldin.

Lisa Holden
Lisa Holden: Elusive Eye (Signed Copy)
2005
Book/Catalogue (Signed) softbound
11-1/4 x 11-1/4 in. (286 x 286 mm)
Limited edition of 2,000 copies. Signed by the artist. Essay by Liesbeth Grotenhuis. Published by Nederlandse Gasunie en Van Spijk Art Projects. 64 pages in full color including covers. Lisa Holden is a British-born artist based in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Her earlier visual work explores notions of the self as a series of estranged identities-guises adopted and appropriated, and dependent upon context. She combines digital imagery with hand-painted layers to create 'parallel realities', referring to the exploration of displacement, adoption and the reinvention of identity as a necessity for survival. Holden's large-scale, 'digitally flawed' painting-photographs interpret and react to our super-fast-paced, technologically driven society. The result is the artist's depiction of a psychological spiral into more personal fracturing of identity, multiple transformations, and a more isolated self and society. New works clearly bear the stamp of Holden's recent interest in Victorian painting and literature in which richly colored fantasies and hallucinations were often opiate-engendered. These influences manifest themselves in images of actual dreamscapes she recalls on waking--in other words, instinctual wishes of a body and mind desiring to get out.
