Aperture Portfolio Prize Paris Photo–Aperture PhotoBook Awards Aperture Summer Open Exhibition

Welcome to Aperture 2019 In December 1968, while Apollo 8 orbited the moon, astronaut Bill Anders took the photograph we know as Earthrise. This striking and beautiful image is arguably the most influential photograph ever taken. It changed our perspective on the world, allowing us for the first time to see it as a singular, fragile object. It features in our Spring lead title, Seeing Science: How Photography Reveals the Universe, and serves to illustrate an ongoing thread of Aperture’s programs: how photographs shift our consciousness, and allow us to see things from a new perspective.

The Spring 2019 issue of Aperture magazine, Earth, also engages with images of our planet, taking a fresh look at how photographers are informed by environmental ideals, and conjure the sublime. The summer issue Orlando, meanwhile, guest-edited by Tilda Swinton, addresses photography’s contribution to the creation of post-binary, postgender consciousness, in the tradition of Virginia Woolf. And Kwame Brathwaite’s photographs from the late sixties and early seventies are presented for the first time in book form—Black Is Beautiful, a big idea central to the civil rights movement that continues to echo today, which Brathwaite formulated and promoted through his work as a fashion photographer. Skip to the present, and another first book, Ethan James Green’s Young New York, assertively defines new youth identities, emerging at the front lines of art, fashion, and urban experience.

Other new Aperture books illuminate how individual artists are advancing the language of photography: The Heights features Matthew Porter’s thrilling and playful flying car series; Italian Views, a gorgeous new body of work by Gail Albert Halaban (a follow-up to her successful Paris Views), in which she stages scenes visible through a window; and I Am, the first survey of the work of radical fashion photographer Erwin Olaf.

Whether motivating social, artistic, or environmental consciousness, all our publications will inspire readers’ journeys in photography.

—Chris Boot, Executive Director

The Magazine of Photography and Ideas

Earth

Orlando

Earth will focus on our relationship with the natural world, during a moment of continued debate about global warming and extreme weather, and as the vulnerability of our natural environment is underscored each day. As we enter the anthropocene, the term used by scientists to describe an age when human activity has the greatest impact on the earth, what is the role of the artist and culture in addressing this crisis? How do photographers honor and draw inspiration from the natural world? How do aesthetics shape our understanding of ecological concerns?

Seeing Science offers an insightful and reader-friendly collection of essays and pictures about photography’s role in visualizing science and building human knowledge—from micro to macro levels and everything in between.

Photography and science have long been intertwined, helping to shape the way we look at the world. Scientists use photography as a way to gather information, explore, and learn, but just as important, photography is also used to promote scientific advances and has long served as an interface between the sciences and the public.

Science is less an edifice of facts than a process of discovery and inquiry. In this way, it is not dissimilar to art; artists have engaged with some of the same scientific challenges and principles, using photography to imagine the world differently and present us with new experiences and ways of seeing. This volume presents both perspectives, exploring how science is made perceptible, featuring over three hundred images and sixty short texts.

Powerful portraits from the 1960s “Black Is Beautiful” movement Accessible fusion of fashion, art, and social history The first book on this influential African American photographer, now being widely recognized

In the late 1950s and throughout the 1960s, Kwame Brathwaite used his photography to popularize the political slogan “Black Is Beautiful.” This monograph—the first ever dedicated to Brathwaite’s remarkable career—tells the story of a key, but under-recognized, figure of the second Harlem Renaissance.

From stunning studio portraits of the Grandassa Models to behind-the-scenes images of Harlem’s artistic community, including Max Roach, Abbey Lincoln, and Miles Davis, this book offers a long-overdue exploration of Brathwaite’s life and work. In addition, a touring retrospective of Brathwaite’s work will begin in May 2019.

Kwame Brathwaite (born in Brooklyn, 1938) is represented

by Philip Martin in Los Angeles. Recent acquirers of his work include the Museum of Modern Art and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Foreword by Hari Nef Essay by Michael Schulman • • •

Classical black-and-white portraits envision the queer youth of New York Hot art and fashion photographer redefines beauty and the human family Establishes Green as a prominent artist for a new generation

Young New York, Ethan James Green’s first monograph, presents a selection of striking portraits of New York’s millennial scene-makers, a gloriously diverse cast of models, artists, nightlife icons, queer youth, and gender binary–flouting muses of the fashion world and beyond. Although he often shoots on commission for fashion brands and magazines, for Young New York, Green photographed his close friends and community for more than three years, and his humanist approach transcends the trends of the moment. Young New York promises to announce a bright young talent who is redefining beauty and identity for a new generation.

Ethan James Green (born in Caledonia, Michigan, 1990) has been commissioned by publications such as Another Man, Dazed & Confused, Re-Edition, Love Magazine, i-D, Arena Homme +, Vogue Italia, Vogue Paris, W, and labels, including Alexander McQueen, Miu Miu, and Prada. His work was featured in and on the cover of Aperture’s Winter 2017 issue, Future Gender.

“In Ethan’s world, the kids who inspire him ought to be (and are) the subjects of his work. Ethan is an artist among so-called image makers.”

Timeless and contemporary, a romantic vision of Italy Highly anticipated new work by a popular artist A perfect coffee-table gift for lovers of Italy and photography

Italian Views is a continuation of Gail Albert Halaban’s series Out My Window, featuring intimate domestic portraits against the cinematic backdrop of the city. Albert Halaban works with local residents to stage and collaborate on each portrait, and through her lens, the viewer is welcomed into the private lives of ordinary Italian people. Paired with the photographs are short vignettes by the artist, imagining what the neighbors might see of her subjects on a daily basis, and Francine Prose contributes a meditative essay discussing the curious thrill of being a viewer.

Gail Albert Halaban (born in Washington, DC, 1970) received an MFA in photography from Yale University. She has taught at the Pasadena Art Center, International Center of Photography, and Yale, and has been included in both group and solo exhibitions internationally. Her previous books include Out My Window (2012) and Gail Albert Halaban: Paris Views (Aperture, 2014).

Francine Prose is the author of more than twenty books, including the novels My New American Life (2011), Goldengrove (2008), A Changed Man (2005), and Blue Angel (2000), which was a finalist for the 2001 National Book Award.

Essay by Rachel Kushner • •

Porter’s popular “flying cars” series, now in book form Fun artist’s book, where Stephen Shore meets Steve McQueen

Matthew Porter presents a portfolio of twenty-five images of old-school cars, captured in midair as they careen over city streets and highway intersections. Each photograph is a freeze-frame—a hypothetical film still from a pulp-fiction chase scene. The photographs, known popularly as the “flying car” series, are a hybrid of hyperreality and studied, topographic description, part bittersweet nostalgia and part ironic reinvention of a classic American trope. Rachel Kushner contributes an original piece of writing that riffs on the aesthetic and aspirational nature of the American car.

Matthew Porter (born in State College, Pennsylvania, 1975) is a graduate of Bard College and of the ICP-Bard MFA Program in Advanced Photographic Studies, New York. His work was included in Photography Is Magic (Aperture, 2015), and his first book, Archipelago, was published in 2015. Porter’s work is represented by M+B, Los Angeles, and Invisible-Exports, New York.

“The photographs delight and mystify.”

Photographs and text by Judy Glickman Lauder Texts by Elie Wiesel, Michael Berenbaum, and Judith S. Goldstein • • •

Important new contribution to Holocaust literature Features an unpublished original text by Elie Wiesel Published on the seventy-fifth anniversary of the rescue of Denmark’s Jews during WWII

The extraordinary experiences of ordinary people—their suffering and their unimaginable bravery—are the subject of Judy Glickman Lauder’s remarkable photographs. Beyond the Shadows responds to the world’s looking the other way as the Nazis took power and their hate-fueled nationalism steadily turned to mass murder. In the context of the horror of the Holocaust, it also tells the uplifting story of how the citizens and leadership of Denmark, under occupation and at tremendous risk to themselves, defied the Third Reich to transport the country’s Jews to safety in Sweden. Over the past thirty years Glickman Lauder has captured the intensity of death camps in Germany, Poland, and Czechoslovakia in dark and expressive photographs, telling of a world turned upside down, and, in contrast, the redemptive and uplifting story of the “Danish exception.”

Judy Glickman Lauder is a photographer, humanitarian, and philanthropist. Her books include Upon Reflection: Photographs by Judy Ellis Glickman (2012), as well as a book on the work of her father, For the Love of It: The Photography of Irving Bennett Ellis (2008).

Elie Wiesel received the Congressional Gold Medal of Achievement in 1985 and the Nobel Peace Prize in 1986; Michael Berenbaum is the director of the Sigi Ziering Institute, American Jewish University, Los Angeles, and a professor of Jewish studies at the American Jewish University; Judith S. Goldstein holds a PhD in history from Columbia University, and in 1997, she founded the international educational organization Humanity in Action.

“This is photography and storytelling for our times, about what hate leads to, and how we can stand up to it. Beyond the Shadows is powerful and revealing, and sharply relevant to all of us who believe in the human family.”

Compelling chronicle of the Caspian region by a bright new talent in photography Intimate portraits and dramatic landscapes from Russia to Iran Innovative social documentary project, supported by Harvard’s Gardner Fellowship

Caspian: The Elements is Chloe Dewe Mathews’s record of years spent roaming the borderlands of the Caspian Sea. In a resource-rich region roiled by contested geopolitics, Dewe Mathews found that elemental materials like oil, salt, and water are also involved in the mystical, practical, artistic, religious, and therapeutic aspects of daily life. In Caspian: The Elements, a series of powerful visual narratives explore the deep links between people and their enigmatic and coveted landscapes.

Chloe Dewe Mathews (born in London, 1982) is the winner of the Robert Gardner Fellowship in Photography from Harvard University’s Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology, and her work has been exhibited at Tate Modern, London; Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin; and Staatliche Kunstsammlungen, Dresden, Germany.

Photography has played an integral role in both the formation of the National Parks and in the depiction of America itself. This volume delights readers with stunning photographs of the best American landscapes and pays homage to a practice that has defined the way we see America, particularly the American West.

Jamie M. Allen is associate curator in the department of photography at George Eastman Museum, Rochester, New York.

Interview by David La Spina and Brittany Hudak • • •

The best work by the master of cat photography, now in his late nineties Playful, fun, and cute—the perfect gift for cat lovers of all ages Vintage work that predates the internet cat craze

Walter Chandoha is a master within the genre of commercial animal photography. His photographs of cats in particular have appeared in the pages of National Geographic and Life magazine, as well as been absorbed into the public subconscious via posters, pet-food packaging, T-shirts, and other uses. This is a fun book for all ages, and offers insight into the unique career of a successful photographer who carved out his own niche within his field. The internet is awash with cat pictures, and Chandoha’s images might be seen as the forefather of them all.

Luigi Ghirri: The Map and The Territory Exhibition Schedule • Museo Reina Sofia, Madrid, September 2018 • Jeu de Paume, Paris, Spring 2019 It’s Beautiful Here, Isn’t It—the first book published on Ghirri in the US—established him as the seminal artist he was.

Ghirri shared the sensibility of what became known as the New Color and the New Topographics movements before they had been named. Like his counterparts in Italian cinema, Ghirri believed the local and the universal were inseparable, and that life’s polarities —love and hate, present and past— were equally compelling. He worked in Giorgio Morandi’s studio and with architect Aldo Rossi, while influencing a generation of photographers, including Olivo Barbieri and Martin Parr.

Photographs and text by Danny Lyon • • •

Highly sought-after classic photobook Beautiful new reproductions from Lyon’s vintage photographs A powerful portrait of 1960s American subculture and society

53500

The Bikeriders offers a powerful, immersive tale of 1960s American biker subculture from a highly personalized, uncompromising, and authentic perspective. This volume features photographs and transcribed interviews made from 1963 to 1967, when renowned documentary photographer Danny Lyon was a member of the Chicago Outlaws Motorcycle Club.

Lyon’s depiction of individuals on the outskirts of society offers a gritty yet humanistic view that subverts the commercialized image of Americana.

This edition, published as a hardcover facsimile, is faithfully based on the original, albeit including newly gorgeous reproductions from Lyon’s vintage photographs.

Danny Lyon’s (born in New York, 1942) books include The Movement (1964), The Destruction of Lower Manhattan (1969), Conversations with the Dead (1971), Knave of Hearts (1999), and Deep Sea Diver (2011).

Lyon has been awarded Guggenheim Fellowships twice and National Endowment for the Arts grants ten times.

“The book is a seminal example of the practice called New Journalism . . . the rerelease of The Bikeriders is not only an homage to this movement, it reminds us to follow our instincts and react to the world as fearlessly as Lyon did.”
