(BANKS, STEVE). Banks, Steve. Paso Robles, CA: Nazraeli Press, 2019. First Edition 1/350. Small Folio. Cloth in Slipcase. Photography Monograph. As New/No Jacket - As Issued. np (60pp), 28 duotone illustrations.

np, profusely illustrated in tritone. "In 1964, a young Steve Banks bought one of the most coveted ‘Muscle Cars’ on the market - a Pontiac GTO with a four-speed stick and a Hurst shifter, Tri-Power, and three Rochester 2G carburetors. He then drove Route 66 from Chicago to Los Angeles to begin his new advertising agency job. Gassing up one day after arriving at Nobo’s Shell station at Beverly and Larchmont, Banks learned that Nobo had previously been head mechanic at the Courtesy Chevrolet dealership, and that his station had become a center for building and tuning street racers. On and off over the next few months, Banks would leave his car at the garage while Nobo fine-tuned the carburetors, replaced the stock tires, torsion, and sway bars, and added Koni shocks and a Sun tachometer. Next, he taught Banks how to ‘speed shift’ while making late night runs up and down Larchmont Boulevard. One day, Nobo mentioned he was going to a drag race that Saturday, and that Banks was welcome to come along. Witnessing his first drag race, Steve Banks was immediately hooked. He returned the following Saturday, and the next, and again the next; but this time with his cameras. Over the course of two years, Banks photographed guys preparing runs, the thundering nitro-burning dragsters launching down the strip at two hundred-plus miles per hour, and everything else that moved. Today, fifty years later, the sport of drag racing is a big bucks, corporate-sponsored television broadcast business with the NHRA sporting over two hundred different drag racing classes. However, in a nod to the sport’s modest beginnings, almost every weekend from coast-to-coast one can find "nostalgia racing" events preserving the dragster culture of the 1960s captured here in NITRO, Drag Racing In The Sixties: 1964-1966." A brand new, pristine specially-priced SIGNED AND SLIPCASED AP example of this stunning volume from the fourth and final set of the NZ Library editions limited to three hundred and fifty copies.

(GOSSAGE, JOHN). Gossage, John. Tucson, AZ: Nazraeli Press, 1998. First Edition 1/32 Deluxe. 4to. Loose Contents in a Wooden Box. Photography Monograph. Fine/No Jacket - As Issued. Thirty-seven individual 10 x 8" cardstock sheets, 32 duotone illustrations. John Gossage's "The Things That Animals Care About, And." is a unique book cum object that presents thirty-two views of nature as they might appear from the perspective of an animal. The images are for the most part mundane and undistinguished to the human viewer, but perhaps integral to the daily life and well-being of a different species. Each is presented as a duotone black and white plate affixed to the recto of a matte cream-colored cardstock sheet that has an irregular horizontal pencil line that references perhaps terrain - or the horizon - drawn across it. These are accompanied by one blank sheet, two title pages uniquely lettered by John Gossage, and a hand-letterpressed colophon that are all housed in the publisher's 11 x 9 x 2" ramen wood display box (that doubles as a frame) with a Plexiglas face and sliding wooden closure with Gossage's hand drawn title silkscreened across it. A most handsome example of the exceedingly uncommon deluxe first edition limited to thirty-two copies containing an additional 4 ½ x 3 ¾" black and white silver gelatin print of two trees and a cloud that is reproduced in the book mounted on a 10 x 8" sheet of board SIGNED "John Gossage / 12" in pencil on the verso, as issued. 3-923922-53-1 Inventory Number: 025785

(GOSSAGE, JOHN). Gossage, John & Thomas Weski. Berlin: Nazraeli Press, 1997. First Deluxe Edition. 4to. Cloth in Dust Jacket, Boxed. Photography Monograph. Fine/Fine. 160pp + 16pp, 124 duotone illustrations. Text in English and German. This is the lovely hardbound catalogue published in conjunction with the 1997 John Gossage exhibition entitled "There and Gone" that travelled from Hannover's Sprengel Museum to Chicago's Museum of Contemporary Photography at Columbia College. It features reproductions of each of the photographs shown, and includes a sixteen page insert containing a transcribed interview between Gossage and curator Thomas Weski. According to Chris Pichler, Nazraeli Press planned to produce a deluxe boxed edition of one hundred and forty-four copies with an ISBN separate from the trade edition - each retailing for nine hundred and fifty dollars and containing a single unique photograph from the one hundred and forty-four images in the book. Ten clamshell boxes were fabricated in Japan, and John Gossage agreed to produce and supply the prints as orders were received. Unfortunately, the first two copies ordered were returned to Nazraeli by the purchasers who objected to Mr. Gossage's insistence on splashing a few drops of coffee on the mat of each of the original prints as an artistic gesture, and the entire project was then scrapped. Only between three and five vintage completed copies of this near-unique edition exist. A most handsome example of the exceedingly uncommon unnumbered deluxe edition BOLDLY SIGNED by John Gossage in black ink on the first preliminary housed in the publisher's debossed and silkscreened black clamshell box, as issued. Laid in is a 4 x 2 ¾" black and white silver gelatin print of a woman's silhouette at the water's edge (reproduced on page 39 of the book) mounted on a 10 x 8" sheet of board SIGNED "John Gossage 1996 / p 39" in pencil on the verso, as issued. It shows the small coffee splash to the board on the recto, which was the intent of the photographer. 3-923922-50-7 Inventory Number: 022704

As New/No Jacket - As Issued. 50 loose 2 ½ x 3 ½" cardstock sheets printed offset recto and verso, 47 illustrations in color and b&w. Designed by Bob Awfuldish. "All photographers have a secret stash of photographs that float on the margins of published existence. Photographs that never quite fit into their current projects or are waiting to become the narrative of their next book or show, but that are too good to be left unused. They persist: the photographers pull them out, year after year, they recognize them as great images that should be shared, but the photos somehow frustratingly defy their years of shuffling into categorization or conventional use. This box set is those photographs, finally liberated from that file labeled "Orphans & Misfits". Todd Hido's first B-Sides Box Set, "Silver Meadows", is a follow-up publication to the artist's award-winning 2013 monograph "Excerpts from Silver Meadows". Designed to function as a companion to that title as well as a sovereign object in its own right, the selection includes alternate images that didn't make it into the book, as well as variations of images that did. It offers a behind-the-scenes look at how the photographer selects and arranges images in book form. 'Making good and interesting pictures is only half of what it takes to make a memorable visual book,' Hido explains. 'The way one organizes images to create a narrative sequence also plays an important role in creating something that people want to pick up and take home". A brand new, most handsome example of this charming little set of fifty collector-type trading cards additionally BOLDLY SIGNED "Todd Hido" in silver ink on the title card housed in the publisher's Plexiglas box, as issued. 1-59005-409-1 Inventory Number: 026720

(HIDO, TODD). Hido, Todd & A.M. Homes. Paso Robles, CA: Nazraeli Press, 2019. First Edition Thus 1 /4000. Small Folio. Cloth in Pictorial Dust Jacket. Photography Monograph. As New/As New.

“Todd Hido’s large color photographs of suburbia are lonely, forlorn, mysterious… and strangely comforting. Hido photographs the interior rooms of repossessed tract homes, and the outsides of similar houses at night whose habitation is suggested by the glow of a television set or unseen overhead bulb. Seldom does the similar evoke such melancholy. Yet rather than passing judgment on his anonymous subjects, Hido manages to turn the banal into something beautiful, imbuing his prints of interiors with soft pastels, and allowing the exteriors to glow in the cool evening air.” — From Nazraeli's description of the first printing of House Hunting, announced in 2000. We are excited to announce a newly remastered edition of Todd Hido’s iconic and highly sought-after first monograph, House Hunting. To celebrate the upcoming 20th anniversary of this important book – certainly one of the most influential and oft-cited photography monographs of our time – Nazraeli has collaborated closely with the artist to achieve a new impression of the highest possible fidelity. Printed on heavy weight matte art paper, using cutting-edge technologies in both the pre-press and production phases, this new edition of House Hunting stays true to the original design and format while delivering even more accurate color rendition and nuances in tone and saturation. It will be a welcome addition to collections lacking access to the very scarce original printings; and to those fortunate enough to own a copy of the original edition, it further illuminates the images themselves that first catapulted the artist and his first monograph to fame. Todd Hido’s photographs have been the subject of solo exhibitions at the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, Kansas City, and most recently at the Musée des Beaux-Arts, Le Locle, Switzerland. Other major institutions that have exhibited Hido’s work include the Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington D.C.; Museum of Contemporary Photography, Chicago; Miami Art Museum, Florida; Netherland Architecture Institute, Rotterdam; Palazzo Ducale, Genova, Italy; Samsung Museum of Modern Art in Korea; and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. His work was recently on view in the 49th edition of Les Recontres d’Arles, France. Work by Hido is held in public and private collections including the Guggenheim Museum, New York; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; the Art Institute of Chicago; the Smithsonian; and Fotomuseum Winterthur."

As New/No Jacket - As Issued. 104pp, 48 color illustrations. Designed by Bob Awfuldish and Todd Hido. "For over two decades, Todd Hido has crafted narratives through loose and mysterious suburban scenes, desolate landscapes, and stylized portraits. He has traversed North America capturing places that feel at once familiar and unknown; welcoming and unsettling. Underscoring the influences of Nordic mythology and specifically the idea of Fimbulwinter, which translates into the ‘endless winter’, Hido’s new monograph, "Bright Black World" alludes to and provides form for this notion of an apocalyptic, never-ending winter. Exploring the dark terrain of the Northern European landscape and regions as far as the North Sea of Japan enchanted Hido, calling him back on several occasions. This presents the artist’s first significant foray extensively photographing territory outside of the United States, chronicling a decidedly new psychological geography. Opening with a text by Alexander Nemerov, "Bright Black World" contains forty-eight plates printed in an oversized format, featuring two vertical gatefolds and a fold-out poster measuring some 25 by 40 inches.

Photography Monograph. New/No Jacket - As Issued. 80pp, 63 duotone illustrations + front cover. "American photographer Mark Steinmetz photographed the people and environs of Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport between 2012 and 2019 as part of the High Museum of Art’s "Picturing the South" series, a photographic archive that examines a range of themes specific to the American South. The sixty-four duotone images in "ATL" - the fifteenth volume of Steinmetz’s work published by Nazraeli Press - emphasize “the quiet transitional moments in this liminal world,” writes curator Gregory J. Harris in the volume’s introduction. Steinmetz captures “the more introspective moments” of travel in and out of the world’s most heavily trafficked airport and includes travelers of all ages “leaving one chapter of their lives and going to another,” as the artist stated in a 2019 interview at the museum. Airline pilots, ground personnel, flight attendants, and janitors are also pictured, always working, often waiting; they share a space with the travelers but remain apart. Steinmetz also turns his focus to the open spaces around the airport, presenting vast, overgrown, and often unpeopled areas that provide a sharp contrast to the busy workings of the airport and its constantly changing population. A selection of images taken from aircraft windows depict the graphic beauty of clouds, light streaks, and jet trails, echoing the “sense of levity and mystery” felt by those traveling, as well as those viewing the photographs. Though taken over a period of years, this collection of images evokes the distinct timelessness of air travel, “capturing ordinary yet captivating human dramas that play out in the public spaces across the airport.” A brand new, most handsome example of this thought-provoking Nazraeli Press offering limited to one thousand copies still in the publisher's shrinkwrap. 978-1-59005-567-0 Inventory Number: I00240427
