The players
Rare Books
"This long-awaited publication presents 73 of Steinmetz's photographs of adolescent and teenage baseball players, on the field and in the dugout, focused on the game and lost in their own worlds. Made between 1986 and 1990, the photographs are classic Steinmetz: tenderness, humor, and humanism are all present here, as is Steinmetz's exquisite use of natural light and attention to poetic detail"--Publisher's description.

Greater Atlanta
Rare Books
"Mark Steinmetz completes his powerful and moving trilogy, 'South', with 'Greater Atlanta'. Photographing in Atlanta and its outlying regions, Steinmetz provides his testimony on contemporary American civilization. Combining portraits and landscapes, he weaves a symbolic and lyrical investigation that subtly questions notions of progress. He further develops motifs — on the automobile, on the telephone — that were first introduced in 'South Central', and catalogues car culture, fast food, convenience stores, and suburban sprawl"--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.

Between maple and chestnut
Rare Books
"Terri Weifenbach's long-awaited new monograph, 'Between Maple and Chestnut,' is an artist's book about 'anywhere America.' Here, the trees are mature, the grass is green and the sun is out. Likewise the street names are repeated from suburb to suburb across the nation. Therefore, this is home, the beginning of life for many Americans. As with her earlier projects, the artist employs color, shallow focus, a narrow depth of field, and other means to arrive at a place between painting and photography"--Publisher's description.
