Описание:

Harlem's gay ball subculture of the late 1980s is superbly documented in this trove of previously unseen photographs.

In 1989, Malcolm McLaren had his only number one hit with a single called Deep in Vogue. Early the next year, Madonna had one of the biggest hits of her career, with the single Vogue, and when Jennie Livingston's film Paris Is Burning arrived in cinemas the same year, winning the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival, the mainstream got hip to New York City's extraordinary ball culture, from which the film and McLaren and Madonna's songs had arisen. Paris Is Burning documented a gay ballroom scene that emerged in Harlem in the mid-1980s, which drew African American and Latino gay and transgender communities to compete against one another for their dancing skills, the verisimilitude of their drag and their ability to walk on the runway. Photographer Chantal Regnault spent many years recording this scene, from which the dance style known as voguing arose. A visual riot of fashion, polysexuality and subversive style, Voguing and the Ballroom Scene of New York 1989-1992 is also an extraordinary document on sexuality and race. The wild years of voguing are vividly captured in hundreds of Regnault's amazing, previously unpublished photographs. The book also features interviews with key figures from the movement, essays, flyers and ephemera.
Photographer and documentarist Chantal Regnault was born in France. She left Paris after the 1968 uprisings and lived in New York for the next 15 years. At the end of the 1980s she became immersed in Harlem's voguing scene. Also around this time, Regnault developed an interest in Haitian voodoo culture and began to divide her time between Haiti and New York. Her widely published photographs have appeared in major magazines and newspapers, including Vanity Fair and the New York Times.

Описание: For centuries the table has been a place where people gather to relax, share food, tell stories and generally enjoy each other's company. Tables are invariably set for all kinds of social occasions and may be inspired by a variety of styles and historical settings - from dramatic displays of personal treasures to simple and purposeful gatherings. This new book by Cristina Acidini Luchinat, director of the Florence Museum Association, and beautifully photographed by master photographer Massimo Listri, reveals the art of table setting.

Juxtaposing tables set for ceremonial dinners - where every object is worthy of a place in a museum - with rustic tables that carry an age-old tradition of simplicity, "Artistic Table Settings" features tables set for artists, inventors and designers. Each setting inspires a desire to recreate the scene at home, matching decor with ambient charm.
