We were DYING to look inside this book. Thanks to @missroseneditions & @blind.magazine for featuring new release 'Tom Warren: The 1980s Art Scene in New York' from @hatjecantzverlag !! Miss Rosen writes: In March 1979, photographer Tom Warren traveled to NYC to visit a few friends. Their roommate had just bought a loft in Soho and needed someone to do demo and construction. “I took a look on my second day, got the job and never left,” he says. “I just loved it. I came from Cleveland, which was very different. I couldn’t spend the day walking down the street and going to see cutting edge contemporary art. In New York, it was right here on my doorstep.” By day, Warren photographed paintings at Sotheby’s and by night, he let loose in the burgeoning E. Village art scene. Inspired by the people he encountered, he began taking large-format portraits in the tradition of Mike Disfarmer, chronicling the extraordinary cast of characters he met along the way. In 1980, Warren set up his first Portrait Studio at his Broome Street studio before taking it on the road — setting up shop in some of the era’s most influential art spaces including ABC No Rio, Semaphore Gallery, Fashion MODA, Gracie Mansion, and PS 1. Although Warren didn’t think of his work as a form of performance art, the artists he photographed often brought that to the work — transforming the very straightforward portraits into a collaborative dance between photographer and subject. In [this book] Warren brings together some of the most influential artists of the time including Peter Hujar, Keith Haring, Marilyn Minter, Sur Rodney Sur, John Fekner, and Jimmy De Sana to create a veritable who’s who of the New York avant-garde. …With the advent of AIDS, many of the people Warren photographed would pass before their time, his portraits becoming memorials to talents never fully realized. But for a brief moment, they ruled the NY art world and paved the way for a new era.

Photography lovers, rejoice! 'Frank Horvat: Side Walk' is back in stock from @hatjecantzverlag⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ From 1979 to 1986, the city of New York functioned as a kind of refuge for photographer Frank Horvat (1928–2020). Born in present-day Croatia, for years Horvat lived and worked rather nomadically, traveling extensively through Asia and Europe on photojournalist excursions with a brief stopover in Paris where he shot fashion photography for Jardins de Mode and Elle. Eventually he found himself in New York; during this period, he allowed himself to surrender to the daily hustle and bustle of the city streets. In between commissions, Horvat created a prolific series of photography and writing that was not intended for public consumption, instead functioning as a reflection upon his own craft as well as the significance of photography itself.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ 'Frank Horvat: Side Walk' publishes many of these photographs for the first time alongside the photographer’s writing. The elegant presentation of this clothbound volume is representative of the great pride that Horvat took in the creation of his personal projects as well as his professional pursuits: the photojournalist's texts are published on thin Munken offset paper and his photographs are printed on deep matte photo paper. This publication is both a compelling depiction of a beloved city and a portrait of the sensitive man behind the camera.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Edited by Jordan Alves. Introduction by Amos Gitai.

Paintings from 'Tabboo! 1982–88,' the vivd new clothbound hardcover from @karmabookstore and @gordonrobichaux⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ This clothbound volume appraises the formative years, from 1982 to 1988, of legendary performer, painter, designer, puppeteer and muse Tabboo!’s career. The book displays historical ephemera—including homemade flyers for performances at iconic clubs—along with the artist’s paintings. Additionally, an essay on the “Glamorous Life” by Jarrett Earnest explicates the thematic concerns of the catalog. In a 1995 interview with Linda Simpson about his early work, Tabboo! observed: “the subject matter was drag, glamour, ladies’ shoes, lingerie, hairdos, vinyl—same as now.” 'Tabboo! 1982–88' underscores the joy of creating and living, exuberantly.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ @tabboonyc (Stephen Tashjian, born 1959) moved to New York City’s East Village in 1982 and quickly established himself as a fixture in its drag scene. In the style of fellow Boston School artists Nan Goldin, Jack Pierson and Mark Morrisroe, he chronicled the zeitgeist with a raw, diaristic approach. In his work, dizzying visuals of nightlife and its cast of characters accompany affectionate portraits of his friends; seedy glamour and high camp meet in a jubilant fusion of collage, paintings and photography. Not one to be an aloof observer, Tabboo! was often photographed himself—by Goldin, Morrisroe, Pierson, Steven Meisel, Steven Klein, David Armstrong and Philip-Lorca diCorcia. Both creator and muse, chronicler and participant, he emblematizes the open experimentation central to the mythology of glamorous underground culture. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Read more via linkinbio.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ #tabboo! #stephentashjian #80snyc #bostonschool https://www.instagram.com/p/CSAK8IAFFme/?utm_medium=tumblr

"Wall Street, NYC," 1987, is reproduced from 'Godlis Strets,' published by @reelartpress⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ @godlis is most famous for his images of the city’s punk scene and serving as the unofficial official photographer for the Film Society of Lincoln Center. For 40 years, his practice has also consisted of walking around the streets of NYC and shooting whatever catches his eye: midnight diner patrons, stoop loiterers, commuters en route to the nearest subway station. With an acute sense of both humor and pathos, Godlis frames everyday events in a truly arresting manner.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ This publication presents Godlis’ best street photography from the 1970s and ’80s in a succinct celebration of New York’s past. The book is introduced by an essay written by cultural critic @luxante and closes with an afterword written by @blondieofficial cofounder and guitarist @christein⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Read more via linkinbio.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #godlis #godlisstreets #wallstreet #80snyc #70snyc https://www.instagram.com/p/CJWwFNBpb_w/?igshid=5e2dikvtfu8
