Photos from ‘Shunk-Kender: Art Through the Eye of the Camera,’ the glorious new 484-page catalog published to accompany the current exhibition at the @centrepompidou Featuring a shocking 848 (out of more than 10,000) b&w photographs of virtually everybody who was anybody in the international avant-garde between 1957 and 1983—ranging from Josef Albers to Merce Cunningham, Yves Klein, Yayoi Kusama and Andy Warhol—this volume is an absolute must for any serious contemporary art library. "Can we call photographers who are ready to play the subversive games of the avant-garde documentary photographers?" curator Florian Ebner asks. "Or are they, like the muscle-bound judokas, more companions, and benevolent chroniclers of the artist? If we look from this angle at the joint and prolific production of the two photographers… we discover that they were genuine partners of the artists."

In memory of our friend and colleague, Xavier Barral We are profoundly saddened by the loss of Xavier Barral, a towering figure in photography book publishing, who died at the age of 63 on February 19, 2019. A visionary with exquisite taste and an irrepressible passion for aesthetic adventure, Barral published books on such wildly disparate subjects as automata, nineteenth-century nocturnal wildlife photography, the construction of photographic forensic evidence, Mars and the Rosetta Comet, in addition to superb monographs on and artist’s books by Malick Sidibe, Sophie Calle, Josef Koudelka and Masahisa Fukase. We are honored to have had the chance to work with Barral, truly a publisher of the highest standards and always one to amaze. “I looked forward to seeing Xavier Barral, as he was so genuinely passionate about the projects he worked on,” writes Elisa Nadel, Artbook | D.A.P. Vice President and Director of Publisher Services. “He had an incredible sensibility and eye for photography and knew how to make each book so special. Through his unique personal design decisions—from the choice of paper to the quality of the binding type and the layout of the work itself—he always had the individual photographer in mind, which made every single book a treasure.” Featured image is reproduced from “Masahisa Fukase.” #xavierbarral @editionsxavierbarral https://www.instagram.com/p/BuJooZ_HO1-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1msr1d3kkn1x5
