750 € > Harper’s Books
First Edition. Oblong octavos. Set of 20 issues
of the Czech dance and theater journal
Divadlo. Profusely illustrated with numerous
black-and-white photographs of actors on
and off the stage, including the first
appearance of Josef Koudelka's photographs
in print. Issued by the avant-garde company
Divadlo Za Branou, or Theater Beyond the
Gate, led by Otomar Krejca, the journal
highlighted late twentieth century
developments in European performance.
Koudelka began his professional
photographic career with the company,
demonstrating an early proclivity toward
modernist aesthetics and abstract forms that
he would continue in his renowned later
work. Each issue includes articles, interviews,
and script excerpts. Text in Czech. Not a
complete run of all of his early appearances,
but close. Uniformly very good in photo-
illustrated wrappers

covered portfolio, original metallic silver sleeve, 18 heliogravures (9-1/2 by
12 inches), loose as issued, 4-page booklet signed on the rear page.

$1600 > Bauman rare Books

Signed limited first edition of the fourth volume in the acclaimed Trois
Cailloux “porte-folio” series, number 536 of 700 copies signed by Koudelka
on the booklet limitation page, with 18 exhibition-size heliogravures, an
exceptional collection by the “most potent and powerful photographer alive
today” (British Journal of Photography).
This exquisite portfolio of 18 exhibition-size heliogravures by Josef Koudelka
imagines a world where isolated animals roam, soar or linger in a landscape
free of humanity—though not its imprint. Featuring iconic images such as
Koudelka’s “photograph of a dead crow hanging from a horizontal barbed
wire, the very image that Robert Delpire had chosen for the cover of Josef
Koudelka (1984)” (Afterimage), this elegant edition of Animal confirms the
profound vision of “the most potent and powerful photographer alive today”
(British Journal of Photography). As in works such as Gypsies (1975) and
Black Triangle (1994), Koudelka’s distinctively “rich, dark-toned and
sumptuous photographs… [are] melodramatic and tragic, serious in the best
sense of the word” (Parr & Badger II:75, I:230). Signed limited first edition,
number 537 of 700 copies (with an additional 26 reserved copies, lettered A
to Z). Text by Ludvik Vaculik in French. See Open Book, 304.

Description
From Magnum Photos: "This book is a photographic report in black and white on Podkrusnohori, the western tip of the infamous Black Triangle,
the foothills of the Ore Mountains. Jutting out into Poland, it is one of Europe's worst devastated territory, but it is also a region that shaped the
origin and future development of the Czech state. Coal mining, the first record of which dates back to 1403, has been the region's enormous
wealth as well as its curse. The industrial revolution facilitated an unprecedented upsurge of the living standards but at the cost of irreversible
changes in nature. 'Man is not an omniscient master of the planet who can get away with doing whatever he likes and whatever may suit him at
the moment'. That introductory quotation of Václav Havel is illustrated by Josef Koudelka's photographs of the land dominated by head frames,
waste heaps, factory stacks and dried-up lakes.“

Oblong folio (233 × 597 mm), 37 leaves loose as issued. 34 Black-and-white photographs. In English, French, and Czech, one card and one

issue, one of 100 copies produced in response to requests to have the images unfolded; ordinariy this book was bound in a folded accordion
format. Koudelka, who had been living in exile since 1970 as a result of his photographing of the 1968 Russian invasion of Prague, was able for
the first time to return to his homeland following the 1989 Velvet Revolution. Between 1991 and 1993 he made a series of panoramic
photographs in a region known as The Black Triangle, situated at the western tip of the coal mining region between Germany’s southern
Saxony, Poland’s Lower Silesia and the Czech Republic’s northern Bohemia. It is named after the triangular shape of the mountains and the
area’s notorious pollution.

Published on the occasion of the Black Triangle exhibit at the Prague Castle in 1994, this stunning collection of Koudelka panoramics examines
the ecological havoc caused by French coalmining in the Ore Mountain foothills.

two major bodies of work in France.photographing the remnants of the Berlin Wall in 1990; the war-torn centre of Beirut in 1992; and after he
was able to return to Czechoslovakia from exile, he started to photograph one of the most devastated landscapes in Europe, commonly known
as the Black Triangle, an area which borders the Czech Republic, Germany and Poland. In 1994 thirty-four large panoramic photographs were
published in an accompanying book of the same name, which reveal a fractured, littered, torn land which contains villages that have been
shattered by the rapacity of extractive industry. To travel to Cardiff and South Wales to record the aftermath of industry on this landscape was
clearly a natural extension for Koudleka's photographic practice; as was the employment of the epic panoramic format which he had developed
and refined so successfully from the mid-1980s.Koudelka works as though he is assembling a formal alphabet of derelictions: one which
maintains that objects have lost their old, familiar utility and are made strange by being dislocated, stranded, broken, sunk in mud, abandoned.
Koudelka has often been praised for his ability to show us the affliction of everyday existence, but these images, grounded in the land itself,
take on a monumental quality.Koudelka examines the landscape as though he were searching for its essential elements and the big, panoramic
photographs impose an aesthetic order upon the scenes of bleakness and desuetude in a way which lends them both grandeur and
poignancy.". Codice inventario libreria 106662

Riedizione in lingua francese

Buona parte dell’eccezionalità dell’opera di Koudelka consiste nel fatto che questo maestro incontestato della fotografia si esprime attraverso
l’estremo rigore delle sue composizioni. Le sue fotografie sono concentrate sull’essenziale: “Io, Koudelka, ero là e ho visto”. Ha visto, ad
esempio, gli zingari e il formicaio brulicante di Praga, le folle vociferanti e anonime, la solitudine, il duro cammino degli abbandoni, la ricerca di
un altrove. In Caos invece non ci sono più uomini. Se sono presenti è perché hanno perduto il senno. Dormono ai piedi di un muro. Non ci sono
più uccelli. La terra è avvelenata. Il mondo si è trasformato in un minerale. Restano le tracce della vita di prima: un albero come ricordo, il mare
a chiudere l’orizzonte. Koudelka preferisce le grandi pianure, le cave abbandonate, le fabbriche nelle quali una macchina prende il posto di
cento operai, i paesi disabitati e in questi spazi vuoti dice di amare la solitudine. L’eccezionalità di questo volume consiste anche nel presentare
opere realizzate utilizzando un nuovo formato “panoramico”: il 6×18, scoperto dal fotografo negli anni Ottanta, ma presente da tempo nella
storia della fotografia, usato sempre e solo, però, per scopi spettacolari o aneddotici. Per il fotografo, il cambiamento di formato può essere
paragonato al passaggio dall’olio all’acquarello per un pittore: la nuova tecnica richiede una continua messa in discussione, un continuo
apprendimento e una costante ricerca di innovazione. Pazientemente e con costanza Koudelka si adatta a questa visione particolare e la
penetra a tal punto da rinnovarla radicalmente. Le 108 fotografie di questo volume mostrano la forza di tale rinnovamento. La scelta del grande
formato corrisponde all’esatta preoccupazione di restituire la “presenza” del formato panoramico. Allo stesso tempo la cura e l’originalità
dell’impaginato che alterna foto orizzontali a doppia pagina e polittici verticali, manifestano tutta la ricchezza e raffinatezza di un’opera

Description
From the Introduction by Jean-Pierre Berghmans: "Over a period of two years, Josef Koudelka traveled through the quarries of the Groupe Lhoist in Europe and
America. His camera leads us through our sites and Josef shows us that the industrial exploitation of deposits -- whilst providing the society we live in with an
indispensable product -- can also bring a fascinating dimension to the landscape. Born less than a kilometre away from a quarry, I had always felt that
industrial sites had nothing but a functional aspect and were devoid of any aesthetic interest. Josef Koudelka has opened my eyes to the beauty of these
landscapes. Nature is far stronger than any of us. Josef Koudelka's work is a moving account of nature's infinite capacity for asserting itself."

From the essay by Gilles A. Tiberghien: "Here, the hand of Man is everywhere. Nature is transformed, turned upside down. There is not a square centimetre
which has escaped his touch, which has not been carved out, excavated, tamped, or recuperated. Everywhere on the ground the machines have left the trace
of their work, showing ever more clearly the presence of cables, pipes, metal girders, steel balls, and dismembered mechanical arms. Nevertheless, we see no
one. Here is no human outline to indicate the scale of things, to help us understand their significance. These images show us a world apparently removed from
itself. As a result, our eyes must learn to observe, as if for the first and last time, a world of which we believe we are the masters, but actually going beyond
what we are capable of imagining, its force rendering derisory the few marks left on its surface. This is a world which is not for Man, a world over which he has
little or no sway, a world which suddenly strikes us, rather as when at low tide our eyes seam to reach out to the horizon leaving us with the feeling of being
alien to the land which the sea is soon to cover again, like the waters that covered the continents millions of years ago when consciousness had not yet
emerged.“

Softcover

“La mano dell’uomo è ovunque. La natura si trasforma, viene

capovolta. Non c’è un centimetro quadrato riuscito a sfuggire al
suo tocco, che non è stato scavato, dissestato, calpestato e
riadattato. Ovunque si vedono i segni lasciati dalle macchine,
sulla terra le tracce del loro lavoro. Sempre più si notano cavi,
tubi, travi metalliche, sfere d’acciaio e bracci meccanici. In
questo lavoro si vede tutto questo, ma nessuna presenza. Nessun
contorno umano ad indicare la scala delle cose, nessuna figura
per aiutarci a capire il loro significato. Ci troviamo di fronte ad
immagini di un mondo apparentemente rimosso da se stesso.”

Questo libro accoglie le fotografie panoramiche di Roma realizzate da Josef
Koudelka. È Roma il teatro del tempo, un teatro vuoto, almeno apparentemente,
poiché numerosi passanti l’hanno attraversata. Tuttavia, proprio per il fatto di
essere “passanti”, non sono mai rimasti a lungo. Roma appare quindi come una
città scarnificata, che il fotografo ha aspettato, come in agguato, all’alba, quando
essa non è che anatomia, raschiata dai suoi cittadini, asciutta, solo un’edilizia
stanca di ospitare. Il volume è rilegato in modo da dare una visione completa e
panoramica delle immagini; le pagine formano un tutt’uno che può essere
disteso completamente per sedici metri.

Description
From the publisher: "The legendary Magnum photographer Josef Koudelka has just added another volume of terrific
panoramic photographs to his bibliography. Koudelka, who was born in Moravia (within the Czech Republic) in 1938, first won
international acclaim for his poignant b&w studies of gypsy communities in the 1960s. His surreptitious documentation of the
invasion of Prague by Warsaw Pact armies set him apart, and ultimately got him into the prestigious Magnum Agency. For
years now he has been working with a panoramic camera, slowly putting out stunning images that often finding their way into
books of limited availability. Theatre du Temps contains a mere 25 images, gorgeously printed, of work made in Rome over the
past three years.”

Description
In this collection of panoramic photographs, Josef Koudelka takes as his subject the vast river delta south of Arles, France.
Known as the Camargue, this marshland stretches all the way to the Mediterranean Sea from the River Rhone. Koudelka's
bucolic compositions eloquently capture the wild, isolated feel of the place.

Josef Koudelka découvre le format panoramique en 1986 lorsqu’il participe à la mission

photographique de la DATAR. Il sillonne alors la France, puis le monde entier pendant les
30 années suivantes, pour rendre compte de l’influence de l’homme sur le paysage. Cet
ouvrage, à la reliure en carton brut et au format imposant (42x30cm), rassemble 40
photographies panoramiques choisies par l’artiste avec la complicité de François Hébel. 
Ces photographies témoignent des grands travaux, des usines aux carrières, en passant par
d’énormes complexes miniers mais aussi des paysages indéterminés. Elles transportent le
lecteur dans des lieux habituellement inaccessibles où règnent « une dramaturgie
poétique » (François Hébel) entre sublime et désarroi, témoignage de cette ère industrielle
que l’on tente aujourd’hui de faire disparaître.
Un texte de François Hébel retrace le parcours photographique de Josef Koudelka et
témoigne de la fascination qu’exercent ces paysages industriels sur le photographe depuis
plus de 30 ans tandis que l’essai de François Barré contextualise cet ensemble dans
l’histoire du paysage.
