Writer and rare book expert Andrew Roth has selected for this volume a group of 101 of the best photography books ever published.

Publisher's info:
"Self-taught, Botman works instinctively, photographing in black and white, creating images that are as much about himself as who, what and where he photographs. Ever since he made his first photograph at the age of 12, photography has always been a very intimate experience for Machiel Botman. He does not pursue commercial work nor does he accept commissions. Botman photographs the people and places in his life that affect him. From the portraits of his friends and relatives to the pictures of strangers he meets to the gestural images of the landscapes he passes through, Botman's images evoke a world of interconnectedness without relying on overly poetic sentiment."

Publisher's info:
Rineke Dijkstra is renowned for her uncanny and thoughtful portraits series of teenagers and young adults: girls and boys of various nationalities at the beach, children of Bosnian refugees, Spanish bullfighters straight out of the arena, Israeli youngsters before and after military service, and here, documented for the first time, her series of photographs taken of aspiring, young ballet dancers. Her subjects are shown standing, facing the camera, against a minimal background. Formally, the images resemble classical portraiture with their frontally posed figures isolated against minimal backgrounds. Yet, in spite of the uniformity in the photographer's works, there is a marked individuality in each of her subjects.

“The Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris has compiled an appropriately over-the-top retrospective of William Klein’s art - photography, films, posters, fashion, graphic design, sculpture, books and more. It’s loud, large, jam-packed, garish and utterly perfect in conveying the sense of frenzy and violence and the defiant outsider stance that makes Klein’s work so gutsy and full of impact.” - Lens Culture

Publisher's info:
In her Parts project, artist Nikki S. Lee presents fragments of photographs. It is as if the women in the photos - each representing a specific social group, which Nikki S. Lee portrays with striking perfection herself - had cut away the images of their ex-boyfriends or husbands when the relationships ended.
Yet all of the women in these pictures clearly refer through gestures or gazes to their now missing partners, exposing obvious patterns of interaction. Like actors in plays or films, they are perfect and immediately recognizable personifications of their respective roles as wives, lovers, or partners for a night.
As incomplete images that reveal only parts, the photographs also expose the fragmented psychological structures of these women.

A splendidly deadpan observer (Times Literary Supplement), Martin Parr has revitalized contemporary documentary photography with his own brand of robustness and variety. His photographs are above all a visual extravaganza of acute observation, wit, and colour.
A pioneer of colour photography and an insightful commentator on the commercial culture of today as well as domestic and social life, he has repositioned contemporary documentary photography.
A member of Magnum since 1994, Parr has published over twenty books and been widely exhibited around the globe. He is arguably Britain's key contemporary photographer, with an unmistakable point of view and signature, and an international following in the worlds of art, fashion and journalism.

Publisher's info:
Thomas Struth (b. 1954) is one of the most compelling artists using photography today. Coming to prominence in his native Germany in the 1970s, Struth captured the atmospheric power of the contemporary urban landscape in his early black and white works. With an intent gaze and exacting lens, Struth expanded his range to include color portraits, bringing a unique psychological precision to the tradition of portraiture.
Perhaps Struth's best-known works are his majestic, large-scaled museum photographs depicting visitors to some of the world's great museums and buildings, including The Art Institute of Chicago, the Musée du Louvre in Paris, the Accademia in Venice, and the Pantheon in Rome. These captivating photographs not only transport us to the place depicted, they also provide a chance to reexamine our own selves looking at art.
Continuing his interest in series, Struth has recently created expansive works based on the natural world, often training his camera on a particular contemporary melding of nature with technology and architecture.
This handsomely designed and produced volume is the most comprehensive book to date on the photographs of Thomas Struth and accompanies a major retrospective exhibition organized by the Dallas Museum of Art. Engaging essays by well-known photography and art experts chronicle Struth's career and situate his work in the context of the history of photography and its rise in contemporary art.
