Paris in my time
Rare Books
"Mark Steinmetz's long-awaited new monograph presents work culled from several extended trips that the artist made to Paris over a twenty-five year period. Paris was where his mother was born and raised, giving Steinmetz a special connection to, and familiarity with, the city. As a result, Steinmetz plays with the conventions of the Paris photographic tradition, from Atget to Kertész. Therefore the pictures are classical, with a modern feel. Consequently Steinmetz updates the tradition and follows the path he has set with his other books"--Publisher's description.

South Central
Rare Books
"Renowned for his modest yet powerful photographs that capture the sense of displacement and isolation felt by many young Americans, Mark Steinmetz photographed in and around Knoxville, Tennessee to create the work that makes up South Central. The title of the book is derived from the South Central Bell telephone company that serves Knoxville, and their public pay phones are a recurring theme in this work; an iconic reminder of the area's socio-economic condition. The artist possesses an uncanny ability to pull folly, aggression and tenderness through his lens simultaneously, and delivers with this book a powerful and touching visual novel of the human condition"--Publisher's description.
