Baseball - David Levinthal - 1st Edition, Empire Editions, 2006

About the Item

First Edition, published by Empire Editions, New York, 2006. Known for his use of toys and figurines to explore the myths, characters and history of America and its pop culture, this book is one of the strongest bodies of work from the stellar career of photographer David Levinthal. Turning his unique eye to the world of baseball, its stories and players, Levinthal poses the figurines in recreations of famous moments in America’s most loved sport. Lit dramatically and photographed with a narrow depth-of-field on large-format polaroid film, Levinthal creates a sense of movement to these still-lifes, an almost-uncanny realness, and beautiful, painterly photographs. One of his most joyful and accessible works, and also one of his best. Hardback, text in English, around 140 pages, finely illustrated in colour throughout.

  • Mediterranean Design Book by Mary Whitesides 1st Edition, 2006
    Located in North Hollywood, CA
    Mediterranean Design hardcover – August 17, 2006. by Mary Whitesides (Author). Title: Mediterranean Design Publisher: brand: Gibbs Smith Publication date: 2006 Binding: Hardcover Great hardcover coffee table book. Mediterranean Design reveals the vibrant color, outdoor-living emphasis, and diverse cultural influences that have created this unique style. Defined by an eclectic mix of natural elements: sunlight bouncing across textured walls, rooms arranged around porch-lined courtyards, terra-cotta tile roofs covering wood-beam ceilings, arched passages and porticos, vibrantly colored interiors, and courtyards and fountains that take advantage of the temperate climate. Mediterranean Design brings home the romantic and worldly appeal of a style that finds its heritage in the diverse lands of Morocco, Spain, Greece, Turkey, France, and Croatia. Mediterranean Design highlights the unique aspects of the style, such as spatial orientation of the rooms is defining and private vestibules and porches rather than hallways connecting functional spaces, bedrooms as suites rather than lonely rooms, bathrooms as spas rather than generic or merely functional rooms. Details such as arches, pillars, high ceilings, fountains, gardens, pergolas, lime-washed walls, stone façades...
