Most widely held works by Nathalie Herschdorfer

Face : the new photographic portrait by William A Ewing( Book )

20 editions published between 2006 and 2008 in English and Undetermined and held by 768 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

From the Publisher: This groundbreaking publication announces the death of the conventional portrait. In an age when we are bombarded with flawless images of youthful beauty, when rejuvenation is available through a jar of cream or a scalpel, artists and photographers seek to portray the face in new ways. Through a variety of techniques, including computer manipulation, photomontage, and retouching, the artists present their new portraits. They replace clarity with blur, the split-second with the elastic moment, questioning the notion of a fixed identity, of universality of expression, of what constitutes beauty. Whether Cindy Sherman's disquieting disguises, Gillian Wearing's masked self-portrait, LawickMuller's composite portraits of couples, or Orlan's disturbing experiments with cosmetic surgery, these faces demand attention. 260 illustrations, 165 in color

Le Corbusier and the power of photography by Le Corbusier( Book )

18 editions published between 2012 and 2013 in English and held by 415 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

"The influence and development of Le Corbusier was inextricably connected to the rise of the twentieth century's central form of popular media: photography. The Swiss-born architect of his generation. Long before many in his field, he harnessed the power of the photographic image to define and disseminate his persona, his ideas and his buildings around the world. In this, he was far ahead of his time. Coinciding with the 125th anniversary of Le Corbusier's birth and the 100th anniversary of the foundation of his first studio in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, this book brings together contributions by leading scholars and experts on the architect to explore Le Corbusier's use of and engagement with photography. From the early pictures he took ass a young traveling architect and snapshots of his surroundings, to his hands-on approach to the graphic design of his influential publications, and large-scale photographic images and collages for architectural spaces, this collection of insights into Le Corbusier's photographic eye reveals the breadth and depth of his visual and spatial innovation, as well as offering candid, personal, artistic and often unexpected images of the man himself. Le Corbusier's connection with photography has long been noted. This is the first publication devoted solely to the special relationship between the architect and the most important form of media expression in the modern era. Completed by a reference section that includes an extensive chronology and bibliography, this significant contribution to the literature on Le Corbusier offers many fresh perspectives on his creative genius and the art of timeless design."--Jacket

Coming into fashion : a century of photography at Condé Nast by Nathalie Herschdorfer( Book )

13 editions published in 2012 in English and French and held by 189 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

"Condé Nast launched the careers of many great photographers. The discovery of most of the biggest names in fashion photography and the nurturing of their talent into full bloom can rightly be credited to that visionary publisher. Condé Nast himself was gifted at spotting future stars, and, by surrounding himself with the very best and most creative, he placed Vogue magazine, along with other titles such as Glamour, at the forefront of the photographic avant-garde and propelled them to positions of great social and cultural influence. This glorious volume, the result of unprecedented access to the empire's archives, reaches back to 1910 to demonstrate this history of excellence. A constellation of luminaries, legends, and stars, the list of photographers included in this treasury is truly breathtaking. Edward Steichen, Cecil Beaton, Irving Penn, Helmut Newton, Patrick Demarchelier, Ellen von Unwerth, and Mario Testino are just some of the figures who, working with masterful art directors, created a legacy that left its mark on the history of photography and is being built upon in the present day. Chronologically arranged with beautiful reproductions throughout, this stunning volume will become an important addition to the libraries of fashionistas of all ages and tastes." --Publisher description

Ray K. Metzker : light lines by Ray K Metzker( Book )

7 editions published in 2008 in English and held by 152 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

"The goal of this publication is a fully-retrospective presentation of the work of Ray K. Metzker, one of the most important and original American photographers of the second half of the twentieth century. The book, with more than 200 high-quality reproductions, features all aspects of his prolific career of more fifty years - which still shows no sign of abating. Well-known and much-exhibited in the United States, Metzker is inexplicably less well-known outside the States. This retrospective survey encompasses the full range of Metzker's brilliant, constantly evolving, formal language." "Although Metzker has photographed in Europe on several occasions, he has never felt the need to travel to particularly exotic climes for inspiration. He finds it readily at hand in the neighbourhoods where he has lived - principally Chicago and Philadelphia - and increasingly in the domain of nature, though the vegetation he depicts in such original form might well be that of a weed-clogged vacant city lot as much as the vast open plains of the American West."--Jacket

New Swiss architecture by Maya Birke von Graevenitz( Book )

10 editions published between 2015 and 2017 in English and Japanese and held by 144 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

With its Alpine peaks, crystalline lakes, and efficient cities, Switzerland has quietly become a center for sophisticated late modern architecture.

Valérie Belin by Valérie Belin( Book )

3 editions published in 2007 in English and French and held by 105 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

Carlo Valsecchi : lumen by Carlo Valsecchi( Book )

7 editions published in 2009 in 3 languages and held by 76 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

Valsecchi alternates between the near and far, between precise figuration and poetic abstraction. Devoid of humn presence, his large-format photographs often take unexpected vantage points, which initially destabilize our perception, then engage with the imagery. Valsecchi, while within the German tradition of the industrial landscape, has found his own register, towards the monochrome with a soft palette and nuanced chromatic scale. His approach evokes the pictorial grandeur of Abstract Expressionism.--Publisher

8 editions published in 2012 in French and held by 59 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

"Le Corbusier avait bien compris les multiples pouvoirs de la photographie, jouant sur un vaste répertoire iconographique pour illustrer ses écrits et ses expositions.

Sont ici reproduits plus de 400 documents : photos promotionnelles, documentaires ou artistiques, photos personnelles souvent inédites, photos de voyages et photos de famille, mais aussi collages monumentaux, documents d'époque et fac-similés de ses publications.

Réalisé par des spécialistes internationaux de Le Corbusier, ce livre nous fait entrer dans l'oeil de l'architecte et apporte un nouveau point de vue sur sa création."--Page 4 of cover

5 editions published in 2012 in German and held by 38 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

Der geniale Architekt und Entwerfer Le Corbusier (1887-1965) erkannte die Wichtigkeit klarer graphischer Gestaltungskonzepte und sorgte dafür, dass seine Arbeiten bereits im Planungsstadium ausführlich fotografisch dokumentiert wurden. Anschließend kümmerte er sich dann persönlich um die Publikation zahlreicher Bücher, die unterschiedlichstes Material seines Schaffens einem breiten Publikum optimal aufbereitet zugänglich machen sollten. Denn gerade im Hinblick auf die suggestive Kraft der Fotografie, die er bei seiner Arbeit gekonnt einzusetzen verstand, war Le Corbusier seiner Zeit weit voraus. Der prächtige Band öffnet den Blick für einen bislang weniger bekannten, aber doch so wesentlichen Aspekt seines Schaffens
