LARRY FINK – “The Vanities” featured in Art in America

Art in America recently published their list of 12 Notable Books of 2011, naming LARRY FINK‘s The Vanities: Hollywood Parties 2000-2009 among them!

In his review, Stephen Maine writes:

While shooting Oscar parties for Vanity Fair, Fink trades his slouchy street clothes, and per this book’s introduction, “dons a tux and moves like a shadow” among the stars, their entourages and anonymous hangers-on. Skewering the unlovely strivers of Tinseltown might seem as hard as throwing rocks at a barn, but there is method to Fink’s mischief: ignored by the players, he captures a nobody’s-eye-view of high-stakes ritual bonding that speaks volumes about the dynamics of status and the fear of exclusion. As the Hollywood of the book’s title denotes an industry, not a location, many of the photos collected here—black-and-white, printed in tritone—were shot in New York, too.

Other notable articles about The Vanities from the past year include The New Yorker’s Photo Booth and The New York Observer. Purchase copies of the book here.

POCKO TIMES – Light Works

We at Bill Charles Represents are excited to share with you a preview of the latest edition of Pocko Times- Light Works.

Following the previous two editions of the Pocko Times, an oversized annual art journal, this latest edition chronicles the work of arguably the world’s most important photographers in the fields of documentary, staged and fine-art photography. In addition, Light Works will feature extracts from “Living in the End Times” by Slavoj Žižek, the controversial and eccentric political philosopher, considered ‘the most dangerous philosopher in the West’. In his book Žižek discusses the end of Western capitalism and asks what the West must do to adapt to the society of the future. Such issues are raised within the work of Light Works, where photographers capture the very essence and importance of the photographic image in modern- day society, and explore how the medium communicates to the world. Through a selection of iconic photographic works, some unseen and some classics, this edition of Pocko Times encapsulates a reflection of our age through photography, exhibiting the aesthetics of celebrity culture, pornography, media, conflict, poverty and wealth.
