A Carnival of Mimics is a photo essay from acclaimed photographer and art critic Max Kozloff. Kozloff gradually became aware that commercial effigies and statues, dummies and mannequins had begun to infiltrate his urban subject matter. Underfoot or overhead, these “mimics” comprise a subpopulation that begs for notice and often does not get it. Somewhere in the realm between banal and mysterious, in his hands this animistic spectacle acquires eerie overtones and beautiful presentation.

Nat Ward’s timeless photographs of Ditch Plains tells the naked, unedited stories of who we are when the sand is a stage: sensual beings, social creatures, dramatic actors, those who want and wish to be wanted, those who look, and those who wish to be looked at.

Ditch: Montauk, New York, 11954 revels in a place where pleasure is paramount, divisions disappear, and everyone is welcome to crowd in together on the sand and stare, however impolite it may be.

Legendary musician Rufus Wainwright and his husband Jorn Weisbrodt as well as writer Wayne Koestenbaum .koestenbaum contribute heartfelt essays.

The discovery of never-before-seen artwork-vivid, psychedelic, treatment-textured and intensely-colorful photographic prints and Polaroids- of a 1960s housewife named Joan Archibald from Long Island, reborn in Malibu and then Palm Springs as Kali, was gathered in a trade photo book for the first time in this 2022 powerHouse release. Kali’s prodigious output, which was rarely seen in the 60s and 70s and then locked away for 40 years, is nothing less than “California’s Vivian Maier” according to Matt Tyrnauer in his substantial essay in Kali: Artographer.

With an introduction by Matt Tyrnauer, essay by Brian Wallis, and afterword by Len Price.

A peek inside Highway 61, a collection of photographs by Jessica Lange, released by powerHouse Books in 2019.

Renowned actress and photographer Jessica Lange was raised in Northern Minnesota and has travelled the length of Highway 61 countless times since her childhood and throughout her life. The storied route originates at the Canadian border in Minnesota and runs along the great Mississippi River through the American Midwest and South, rolling through eight states, down to New Orleans.

With more than 80 stunning tritone photographs, Lange’s Highway 61 reveals her deep connection to this iconic route and presents that which she has long held dear along its way. This is a tale of our shared national heritage as seen by one of the most talented artists of her generation.
