Congratulations to Adam Rouhana. His book ‘Before Freedom’ is finally here, after long years. It’s Adam’s account of daily life in Palestine. The small things - communal, kind, joyous, poetic that mean so much more in the face of relentless persecution. Adam showed me an early maquette a couple of years ago and even then it was three volumes (this is truly an epic of the everyday), but the final book is a beautifully succinct edit, and a lovely sequence. Out now from several publishers. This is the Aperture edition, with a text by Taous Dahmani. @adam.rouhana @aperturefnd @taous_r_dahmani @atelier_exb

I just watched a preview of the new Richard Avedon documentary. You definitely get a good sense of his perfectionism, charm and bleakly ruthless drive. Compelling and chilling. It’s out next week on Netflix. They show a lot of Avedon’s printed matter - books and magazines - but not this gem from 1949, the ninth Ballet Theatre Annual, made early in his career and designed by his mentor, Alexey Brodovitch. It’s not as graphically daring as Brodovitch’s book ‘Ballet’ (1945), mainly because they have to make all the performers recognisable. Minimal blur and haze. Nice though.

‘Stare. It is the way to educate your eye, and more. Stare, pry, listen, eavesdrop. Die knowing something. You are not here long.’ – Walker Evans
Today we celebrate the birthday of one of the most influential American photographers of the twentieth century, Walker Evans (1903–1975).
Best known for his documentation of America during the Great Depression, Evans developed a distinctive photographic language rooted in close observation and an unwavering interest in the ordinary. From weathered shopfronts and roadside signs to intimate portraits of individuals and families, his photographs captured the textures, contradictions and changing character of American society.
‘Some of his images, made in what he ambiguously called the “documentary style”, are among the best known in the history of the medium. Direct and seemingly simple, analytical yet lyrical, carefully composed but unforced – the ways in which he photographed left the door open for countless others to follow’, writes David Campany (@davidcampany) in ‘Walker Evans’, published in April 2026.
Working with remarkable precision and an understated eye, Evans found significance in the seemingly mundane, revealing the stories embedded in familiar places and everyday encounters. His photographs are not simply records of a particular moment in history, but enduring studies of identity, place and the human experience.
His influence continues to resonate across generations of photographers, and his ability to find meaning in the overlooked remains as compelling today as ever.

The catalogue accompanying Gerhard Richter’s show at the 1972 Venice Biennale. One of my favourite of his publications. It has some really insightful interviews, a 30-page ‘general survey of paintings’ reproduced as grids of black and white images (that almost return the paintings to their photographic sources), some larger reproductions of city, finger, and cloud paintings (the latter in colour), concluding with his series of 48 portraits of famous white men. The more I look at Richter’s work the more it seems he had set out and defined his full scope in his first decade.

Congratulations to @laia_abril and curator @sasickow on the exhibition ‘On Rape and Institutional Failure’. Can’t imagine a more urgent exhibition right now, particularly in the USA.
