Kon box
Rare Books
"Michiko Kon is a contemporary Japanese artist of startling originality. Her exploration of the photographic still-life, in which perishable materials such as raw fish, fowl, and vegetables, are combined with familiar, often feminine objects--a schoolgirl's uniform, high-heeled shoes, a pocketbook--triggers our senses of touch, taste and smell through vision and imagination"--Publisher's description.

Coney Island
Rare Books
"We are pleased to follow up with the artist's second oversized monograph, 'Coney Island'. In 2010, Liao began photographing Coney Island during a period of transition, for both the place and the artist. A new incarnation of Luna Park opened to the public, the municipal government actively engaged in redevelopment, and the area visibly transformed. At the same time, Liao's approach to picture making changed as he experimented with new strategies and techniques. He started the project working with traditional transparency film. Although he had always used digital technology to transform the film images into a finished image, he slowly introduced digital picture-making technology to the process of recording the scenes. The resulting large-scale prints have a visual sweep often associated with cinema, encompassing the viewer and providing a strong sense of place"--Publisher's description.
