German ed. 'Centennial', published on the 100th birthday of Irvig PENN, is the most comprehensive publication on his to date - an indispensable overview for anyone interested in his multi-layered oeuvre and the history of photography of the 20th century.

The out-of-print photo publication 'Umbra' by Viviane SASSEN delves into the world of shadows. A seductive and deceptive darkness that lies in every human soul, like a silent black lake with a surface as flat as a mirror that can only be broken.

Out-of-print volume 'NY JS DB 62' features photos of David BAILEY in wintry New York in 1962. By leaving the confines of the studio behind and taking photos on the street, he set new standards and brought the UK back to the forefront of popular culture.

The out-of-print photo volume 'The Polaroids' by Sibylle BERGEMANN contains poetic and empathetic moments that document what basically cannot be captured. Dreamlike and delicate images against oblivion, which elude a temporal and spatial classification.

The reissue of photo volume 'Portraits' contains a collection of portraits by Helmut NEWTON, first published in 1987. Anyone who had himself portrayed by him knew what would come of it. The new edition guarantees some surprising reunions with old friends.

'The Unseen Saul Leiter' shows for the first time 76 rediscovered works from an extraordinary photographic treasure trove of more than 40,000 color slides left by the American photographer at his death, only a fraction of which ever saw the light of day.

'Sibylle' showcases photographers, fashion- & graphic designers, models, writers as well as its political & sociocultural background of almost 50 year long publishing history as the definitive publication on an important chapter of German media history.

This part of the two-volume work, 'Autopsie. Volume 1', by photo book expert Manfred HEITING presents the German-language titles of the interwar period in all their variety. The focus lies on the German-speaking countries and the period from 1918 to 1945.
