Robert Frank 重量級攝影集THE AMERICANS五十週年經典再版!!
攝影：Robert Frank
序言：Jack Kerouac
出版社：Steidl Publishing

一個在美國的外國人， 改變了美國攝影，也改變了世界攝影的方向。Robert Frank這本最初於1958年出版的《The Americans》攝影集，至今依然被視為現代攝影的“聖經”！
Robert Frank’s The Americans was first published on May 15, 1958 by Robert Delpire in Paris. It featured 83 of Frank’s photographs taken in America in 1955 and 1956, accompanied by writings in French about American political and social history selected by Alain Bosquet. Delpire’s Les Américains formed part of the Encyclopédie essentielle series, which presented foreign countries to a French audience. Each of Frank’s photographs in this edition is placed on a right-hand page, with the texts on the left-hand pages.
The first English edition of The Americans was published in 1959 by Grove Press in New York. It presented the same photographs as the Delpire edition, however a text by Jack Kerouac replaced the French writings. The book begins with Kerouac’s introduction, followed by Frank’s photographs in the same sequence as the Delpire edition. On the left-hand pages are short captions from Frank, which describe the location.
Since 1959 The Americans has been reprinted by different publishers, in multiple languages and formats. Frank has had varying influence on these editions; some were printed without his input, approval or knowledge. In July 2007 the Steidl edition of The Americans was printed. Frank was involved in every step of its design and production. The 83 photographs were scanned in tritone at Steidl’s digital darkroom from vintage prints in Frank’s collection, which revealed that many images in past editions were actually crops of the originals. For the Steidl book Frank studied and revised these crops and in many cases included the full photographs; in only a few cases the Delpire and Grove Press compositions remain.

見證中國年輕創作人最鮮活的創意！
中國·創意市集産品首度集結
王怡穎 歐陽應霽 黃蔚
克裏斯丁·羅斯凱特 黎文 童慧明 聯袂推薦
創意市集，凝聚熱情；想象力量，精彩成形；抛開懶蟲，持續經營；創作快樂，生活有餘。
——王怡穎，《創意市集》著作者，“創意市集”一詞創造者
創意不只是靈光一閃的刹那，創意也不只是市集擺攤的興奮熱鬧，創意的培養要長時間的搜集整理沈澱累積，創意的熟成甚至先要懂得向自己潑冷水， 然後有一日，你自覺神清氣爽，耳聰目明。
——歐陽應霽，生活家，香港知名跨界創作人
這是一本讓我非常樂意推薦給業界友人有關中國年輕一代創新創意的書。我邀請他們將這些奇思妙想帶入生活，近距離接觸這些中國寫意生活家們包羅萬象的思維和樂趣！
——黃蔚，IF中國設計共同組織方上海橋中設計管理諮詢有限公司總裁
“I LIKE IMART! （我喜歡創意市集）”
——克裏斯丁·羅斯凱特，英國貿易投資總署創意産業顧問
世紀中國城市年輕創作人的創造夢想，從這裏開始！
——黎文，《城市畫報》副主編，iMART創意市集發起人之一
來自中國“創意産業”最底層的年青力量，正在顛覆雖未對世界産生足夠影響、卻已如疊床架屋般形成複雜權利體系的中國設計界。“創意市集”爲噴湧而出的創造欲望提供了最好的火山口。在“好玩”、“好看”、“夠Q”、“夠酷”的青春語境下，來自中國各個都市的青年創意設計團隊，由各自的視角與途徑，呈現了一片斑斕炫目的作品世界。
他們並不在乎“正統”設計界的認可與獎賞，更注重在“地攤”上擺賣時是否能引起觀賞者驚喜的尖叫。感性的歡愉是支撐創造動力延續並成長的主要元素。誰也不能斷定，未來能夠影響世界的中國設計大家，不會從這些創造團隊中産生。

THE MILL
攝影：Matthias Petrus Schaller文字：Thomas Weski

出版日期：2008年4月30日
ISBN: 9783865213785

Andreas Beyer says of artists' workplaces, "Places where important works were created have always been fascinating one is immediately on the hunt for clues of the persona and the greatness of what has been made there, trying to locate them on the desk, the walls, the chairs, even in the curtains." The Mill documents the living and working spaces of Hilla and Bernd Becher, a former paper mill in Dusseldorf where the couple lived from 1961 to 2003. Matthias Petrus Schaller, (who was born in 1965, well after the Bechers first moved into this space) made these photographs in their last years there, between February 2001 and September 2002.
EYE ON TIME

Since the 1960s, Berlin-based Michael Ruetz has photographed hundreds of urban scenes and landscapes throughout Europe. His works make time and transience visible. In Berlin, he traced the effects of political and societal upheaval on architecture and public space--buildings appeared and disappeared, vacant lots and gardens were developed, Marx-Engels-Platz was renamed Schlo platz while Potsdamer Platz was transformed from a no-man's land into a high-rise district, all of which caused Berlin's skyline to rapidly transform--a destabilizing event for a city's inhabitants. Ruetz's series of photographs are like short films that develop over a long period of time--landscape and cityscape become timescape. This monograph is a time-lapse document that bears witness to how architecture shapes and reshapes our habitats and how interpretation triumphs over our perception
