In cooperation with the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, we are organizing an exhibition of works by photographers of Hungarian origin who emigrated to the United States. This large-scale exhibition, featuring nearly thirty artists, aims to showcase the extremely rich Hungarian-American photographic heritage, including works by André Kertész, Cornell Capa, György Kepes, László Moholy-Nagy and Martin Munkácsi. The unique concept of the exhibition is to take a comprehensive look at the work of Hungarian- origin photographers who have become known in the United States, juxtaposing the work of world-famous photographers with that of lesser-known artists.

A limited-run, special publication created to showcase the work of 10 young photography talents from top US art school SCAD, to be published in the year of T&H's 75th anniversary.

Wilfully subjective and guided only by the strength of the creativity within its pages, this book, published to mark the 75th anniversary of publishing house Thames & Hudson, aims to capture a moment in time, support new talent and inspire lovers of photography, as Thames & Hudson has set out to do since it was first founded in 1949.

Biba dominated London fashion from the mid-1960s, and, for over a decade, it defined the dress and outlook of a generation. Celebrating the sixtieth anniversary of the opening of the first Biba boutique, this book takes a revealing look at Biba through the words and images of the people who were intimately involved with the company and its phenomenal success. Established in 1963 as Biba Postal Boutique – a small mail-order company selling inexpensive clothing for women and children – by 1973 Biba was a seven-storey department store on London’s Kensington High Street. Customers could fill their wardrobes and furnish their home with Biba products; Biba had become the world’s first lifestyle label. Visitors to the store could buy a tin of Biba baked beans, take tea on Europe’s largest roof garden or watch live music from The New York Doll’s, Iggy Pop or Liberace in the 500-seat Rainbow Room.  Created by Barbara Hulanicki and her husband, Fitz, Biba was made in the image of its staff and customers. Selling up-to-the-minute clothing at low prices, Biba appealed to teenagers and young women of the post-war generation, becoming the fashion destination of the Swinging Sixties and seventies. Biba was the place to be and to be seen; its doors were open to everyone, from The Rolling Stones, Marianne Faithful and Twiggy to David Bowie and Freddie Mercury.  Biba: The Fashion Brand the Defined a Generation includes photographs by Helmut Newton, Sarah Moon and Duffy, as well as never-before-seen ephemera from the personal archive of Barbara Hulanicki. Interviews with the people closest to Biba serve to bring these images and objects to life, while recollections and anecdotes from Barbara Hulanicki herself shine a new light on the very personal nature of Biba as a business.

An enthralling portrait of the Bloomsbury Group’s key figures told through a rich collection of intimate photographs   Photography framed the world of the Bloomsbury Group. The thousands of photographs surviving in albums kept by Virginia Woolf, Vanessa Bell, Dora Carrington, and Lytton Strachey, among others, today offer us a private insight into their lives.   Maggie Humm brings these photographs together to offer us a fresh portrait of the Bloomsbury Group, showing them in a new, domestic intimacy. She brings to life the texture of Bloomsbury: their pastimes, children, clothes, houses, servants, pets, holidays. Several photographs are blurred as if taken in a hurried moment of time, and unguarded close-ups reflect complex personal relationships. The Bloomsbury photographs are not simply documents but testimonies of relationships, friendships, and the significance of empathetic lives.

Since 1972 Neal Slavin has been documenting groups and gatherings. From bingo players to ballroom dancers to religious congregations Slavin has photographed seemingly every imaginable organization that human beings have dreamed up. While the pictures themselves are most often posed Slavin has always asked that his subjects arrange themselves in front of the camera, allowing natural hierarchies, group dynamics, and indications of status to emerge. Through these pictures Slavin has sought to capture the inner character of these groups of people much as a portrait photographer seeks to capture the essence of an individual. This new expanded edition is edited with a text by Kevin Moore.

Growing up in Colorado with his father in the Professional Rodeo Cowboy Association, Luke Gilford spent his formative years around the rodeo, an American institution that has often been associated with conservatism and homophobia. It was only later, when he discovered the International Gay Rodeo Association (IGRA), that he began to see himself as part of a rodeo family. The IGRA is the organizing body for the LGBTQ+ cowboy and cowgirl communities in North America - a safe space for all races and gender expressions. The queer rodeo brings in participants from rural regions all over America for structured educational programs and competitions, facilitating opportunities to hone athletic skills, connection and care for animals, personal integrity, self-confidence, and support for one another. Gilford has spent over three years traveling the country to document this diverse and ever-evolving subculture. Shot on medium-format film and printed in a traditional dark room, the work is detailed and rich with emotion and color. The resulting 'National Anthem' photographs are both personal and poetic - clear testaments to Gilford's intimate relationship to the community. 'National Anthem' is a celebration of outsiders and the immense beauty of chosen families everywhere. This new edition is going to be released in conjunction with the release of his film adaptation of National Anthem.

The magic of Venice through the stunning images by the great photographerDiscover Venice anew through the lens of Michael Kenna. This stunning book offers an in-depth exploration of the British virtuoso's black-and-white masterpieces, most of which are reproduced with the same format as the original prints. Kenna's practice is characterised by long exposure times, which can last up to several hours, thus revealing unseen details within the Venetian landscape. His lens captures a wide array of subjects: mist-shrouded chapels and attics, falling stars above bell towers, palace arches, laundry threads, gondola prows, bridges, garden statues, twisted poles emerging from the black lagoon and reminiscent of ancient figures. Michael Kenna's photographs skilfully play with light, shadow, and reflection to show the poetic inten sity of Venice. From solo exhibitions in prestigious museums to retrospectives that span continents, this compilation of Venetian imagery adds a new chapter to Kenna's illustrious career. It stands as a testament to his unparalleled ability to capture the timeless allure of Venice, offering viewers a unique and immersive experience through the lens of an exacting master.

An intimate collection of private photographs of artists and writers, friends and family by a legendary art dealer John Kasmin, known to all simply as Kasmin, was the most important dealer in contemporary art in Britain in the 1960s. At the eponymous Kasmin Gallery on New Bond Street, he worked with many of the leading British and American artists of the day, notably Barnett Newman, Helen Frankenthaler, Frank Stella, Robyn Denny, Gillian Ayres, Howard Hodgkin, and David Hockney. In the process, he transformed the London art world and became almost as recognized as his gallery artists. Less well known is that Kasmin was also a trained photographer, having started his working life as an assistant to the celebrated portrait photographer Ida Kar. Throughout his life he has always carried his camera with him, constantly photographing - and being photographed with - his bohemian artist and writer friends and family members. This remarkable book is the first time he has shown a collection of intimate and private photographs. We see Newman, Frankenthaler and others in their studio; we join Hockney as he travels, works, and holidays with Kasmin and their shared circle. We follow Kasmin as he and his close friend the travel writer Bruce Chatwin voyage to Africa and the Caribbean. Each image, whether a posed portrait or a hastily grabbed snapshot, reveals something new, something private about some of the best known names in postwar art and the world in which they lived and worked. Art historian and curator Chris Stephens writes about Kasmin's circle of artists and friends in the 1960s and 1970s, while his long-time friend Judith Goldman writes a more personal account of Kasmin and his life.
