  • Paul Strand: Photograph 1915-1945 - Nancy Newhall - 1st edition, 1945
    Located in London, GB
    Published by the Museum of Modern Art, 1st edition, New York, 1945. Hardback, English text. This exhibition catalogue is the first critical monograph issued by MoMA on a photographer.

  • Pools by Kelly Klein 1st Edition 1992
    Located in London, GB
    Published Alfred A Knopf New York 1992 Probably the best resource for any one wanting to build a pool. Inspired by a desire to design a new pool for her own Long Island backyard, Kelly Klein sought out and put together the most arresting and iconic photographs of swimming pools in all their various forms to create this unique and stunning book. The photographs are as inspiring as they are moving, revealing an incredible wealth of styles and designs in climates and cultures across the globe, and evoking the sensations of rest and nostalgia, the clarity of water and light, the coexistence of coolness and warmth, and the insinuations of sex and romance that can bring such character to a swimming pool. Included are pools in all shapes, sizes, colors, and settings, from Tangiers and Miami to the ancient magnificence of Hadrian's Villa; from Coney Island to the C te d'Azur; from the robber...
