ART CULTURE PHOTOGRAPHY

FOREWORD

ENTELI’s spring titles preview takes the stage with a new layout. This new look is representative of our current reorientation to carry the publishing history of our house into a successful future. We publish carefully edited books in the areas of art, culture and photography – BENTELI stands for high quality in content as well as design. As a Swiss publishing house with a long tradition, BENTELI’s program is committed to promoting Swiss topics while still taking readers far beyond the country borders. An aim that is reflected in our list of spring titles: the yearbook of Reporter ohne Grenzen, an internationally active human rights organization, features documentaries by well-known journalists to call attention to the state of press freedom worldwide. It is a worthy addition to our range of political documentary photography. Swiss Press Photo’s annual catalogue meanwhile presents the best shots from press photography in Switzerland or by Swiss photographers. Cornelia Wilhelm’s pictures take us to 1980s New York; her book Shot by both Sides is an impressive historical document. Nothing short of a round-the-world trip can be experienced in the publication Drinking Culture and Iconic Drinks. Palm wine in India or sour milk in Africa – the book focuses on the important role of the every-day activity of drinking in different societies around the world. Outstanding topics and beautiful books that, as we hope, will fascinate and entertain our readers. We would furthermore like to reach out to our colleagues in bookselling and expand our cooperation further by offering increased support for your efforts in selling our books. Are you interested? Our sales representatives Giovanni Ravasio and Hans Frieden are happy to advise you, or you can directly contact Kirstin Meditz at the publishing house.

We wish you an entertaining time with our new releases and look forward to our future cooperation. Andrea Wiegelmann, Publishing Director, and the BENTELI team

BENTELI CULTURE

DRINKING CULTURE AND ICONIC DRINKS

• Concepts of culturally significant beverages from around the world: kava, palm wine, cassava beer, green tea, butter tea, cow milk,

sour milk and rice beer • The social significance of brewing, drinking vessels and communal drinking practices explained in accessible texts

Drinking constitutes one of the most basic needs of humankind – but its significance encompasses a lot more than just quenching your thirst. This publication, which complements the exhibition for the reopening of the Ethnographic Museum at the University of Zurich, illustrates the high cultural significance of beverages in cultures across the globe in astonishing and beautiful examples. Preparing, sharing and consuming liquids, the respective vessels and the techniques used, the communal experience of the drinking circle ... all this is practiced in manifold ways and forms all around the world. Researchers from the Ethnographic Museum at the University of Zurich explain the preparation and significance of Indonesian and African palm wine, Amazonian cassava beer, Tibetan butter and Japanese green tea, Indian rice beer, African sour milk, Swiss milk and Polynesian kava. A wine merchant and a sommelier contribute short characterizations of these beverages that our palates are unaccustomed to – an invitation to the readers to enjoy this book with all senses.

SHOT BY BOTH SIDES

• A remarkable documentary of 1980s New York • Musicians, performers, artists: portraits from the edge of society • The nostalgic charm of Coney Island

A Glimpse of New York 1986 Cornelia Wilhelm is only 19 when she packs her bags and leaves for New York to work for a photographer and see the world. She arrives, camera in her bag, in this harsh new metropolitan environment and immediately feels at home. She is a set assistant for the Pirelli calendar photo shoots by day, and by night she explores the many bars and concert venues and takes pictures of her surroundings: the nightlife, the artists, but also everyday life in the Bronx and in Harlem. Her refuge is Coney Island with its worn-down amusement parks lining up along the promenade and its carneys and pitchmen raucously advertising the next show, the next big attraction. This is where New York’s working class spends their weekends, looking for those few moments of bliss that Cornelia Wilhelm captures in her pictures. The book is both the portrait of a city from the perspective of a curious young woman eager to see the world, and a documentary collage of normal people in New York far from the Big Apple’s glamour.

FOTOS FÜR DIE PRESSEFREIHEIT 2014

• International yearbook of press photography by the organization Reporters without Borders • Participating photographers from past years: Paolo Pellegrin, Jan Grarup, ChristianLutz, Olivia Arthur, Nan Goldin, Susan Meiselas, James Nachtwey, Josef Koudelka and many more • A publication as a statement for the freedom of press and speech

In many regions of the world a reporter’s job is a highly dangerous task: in numerous countries freedom of press and speech cannot be taken for granted; censorship and political unrest pose great risks to the journalists’ work. The association Reporter ohne Grenzen documents violations of the freedom of press and information and fights censorship and restrictive regulations of the media. A volume of Fotos für die Pressefreiheit is published every year, featuring documentaries by internationally renowned photographers and journalists to call attention to the living conditions in conflict zones. Picture essays from countries where journalists often work risking life and limb, paired with captivating features and interviews with local correspondents take us straight to the current hot spots of press freedom. Pictures and texts, which the participants provide gratuitously, spell out the importance of a free press in all countries across the world. The upcoming issue Fotos für die Pressefreiheit 2014 is a special edition for the 20-year anniversary of the association. As with the other issues, all proceeds go towards the support of journalists in danger.

Reporters without Borders, founded 1985 in Montpellier, France by a handful of journalists, is a globally active human rights organization today. A network of more than 150 correspondents, nine sections and three offices fight for the freedom of press and speech around the world; they investigate and document violations against this human right and support journalists and media that are under threat. The organization’s main office is situated in Paris; since 1994 the German section has been working from its Berlin office. Reporters without Borders is an internationally acknowledged NGO. The association has consultative status in the European Council, the Human Rights Council of the UN as well as in the UNESCO.

ENVELOPES FOR BOOKLOVERS

• The popular BENTELI/niggli series continues: Set of 10 envelopes – each with a unique selection • Beautiful images from architecture, photography and art books • New formats: C5/C6 (DIN long) and C5

NEW DESIGNS DIN long (C5/C6)

We love beautiful books, which is why prime printing quality is important to us. To perfectly adjust the printing machines, however, a lot of paper is needed that is later on recycled. We decided these printed sheets were far too precious to go into the bin and had an idea: upcycling instead of recycling! The printed sheets that are not used for book production are now made into unique envelopes that will delight both sender and recipient and turn each letter into a small bibliophile gift.

Important writings by and on Max Bill for a special price The brilliant artist Max Bill (1908–1994) passed away 20 years ago.
