inspired by andrew roth’s groundbreaking publication on photobooks, i have selected 101 signed titles from my private collection, most of them never offered before officially or online. the huge selection contains titles like the very first printing of the americans („les americains“,1958, published by delpire, signed by robert frank), two titles signed by helmut newton (one signed also by his wife, the photographer alice springs), two association copies by henri cartier-bresson (one is „the europeans“ from 1955), a book with 7 (!) original signatures by pupils of the „becher-class“ (andreas gursky, thomas struth, thomas ruff,

candida höfer and others), a signed first edition of william eggleston’s important color photography book „guide“ (1976), association copies by willy ronis, ralph gibson or dennis stock, the protest book box by martin parr and gerry badger with 6 (!) original signatures, signed books by robert mapplethorpe, chris killip, bryan adams, bernd and hilla becher, nobuyoshi araki, alberto garcia-alix, larry clark, eugene richards, philip-lorca dicorcia, bruce davidson, lee friedlander, helga paris, keld helmer-petersen, réne groebli, boris mikhailov, guido guidi, pentti sammallahti, dirk alvermann and many many more, to name just a few.

of course i guarantee in all cases the authenticity of the signatures. don't miss this rare opportunity
