A press release becomes a fashion statement. A contact sheet becomes an act of self-fashioning. An exhibition catalogue becomes the only surviving evidence that a body of work, or a way of looking, existed at all. What holds this group together isn't rarity in the conventional sense — it's the argument that value accrues through context, authorship, design and the accident of what survives, not just through what's scarce.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eICA's annual book fair brings together over 90 publishers for a weekend celebrating independent and artist publishing, alongside talks, workshops, book launches and an exhibition spotlighting the artist-led networks that sustain creative publishing today.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"matthew-peers-wishing-wells-2023-2025","title":"MATTHEW PEERS — Wishing Wells, 2023–2025 — The New Rare Editions","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePublished by The New Rare Editions, 2026\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArtist book.

The first half reproduces these files as full-colour pages, each dated on the facing leaf. The second half presents four sets of video stills from phone clips: movement slowed into print, sequence replacing duration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMatthew Peers’ practice is rooted in sculpture but extends into exhibition-making, publishing, display, and the social life of objects. His works resist a clean separation between artwork, support, furniture, architecture, image, and fragment. Materials appear handled, provisional, reflective — carrying traces of use rather than presenting themselves as resolved. Objects do not settle into fixed categories. They gather meaning through placement, contact, and circulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe publication follows this logic. It treats the printed page as another support structure: a surface where images accumulate, repeat, and are repositioned across time. It is not a catalogue after the fact, but part of the same material system as the works themselves. A sculpture can become an image. An image can become a document. A document can become an edition. An edition can return to the exhibition as an object in its own right.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough The New Rare Editions, Peers’ practice is placed within a broader context of unstable authorship and object circulation — a site where the roles of artist, gallerist, publisher, collector, and archivist overlap. The publication does not fix the work into a single narrative. It preserves the provisional nature of the practice: objects always being reframed, reclassified, and put back into circulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first title published by The New Rare Editions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"journal-label\"\u003eIN THE JOURNAL\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/journal\/matthew-peers-wishing-wells\"\u003eMatthew Peers: Wishing Wells\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe New Rare took part in GLUE Book Fair at the ICA, London, on 12–13 September 2026. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/thenewrare.com\/blogs\/journal\/the-new-rare-at-glue-book-fair-2026\"\u003eRead more about The New Rare at Glue Book Fair 2026.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The New Rare Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53040616767826,"sku":"TNR-2026-0004","price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0991\/5636\/1554\/files\/Matthew_Peers_wishing_wells_03.jpg?v=1776662523"},{"product_id":"hans-bellmer-67-photographies-inedites-galerie-francois-petit-1983-84","title":"HANS BELLMER — 67 photographies inédites, Galerie François Petit, Paris, 1983–84","description":"\u003cp\u003eGalerie François Petit, 196 boulevard Saint-Germain, Paris, 1983–84.

Founded by Tara Subkoff, Imitation of Christ emerged alongside the post-Margiela generation of designers treating damage, exhaustion, imperfection, reuse, and collapse itself as aesthetic material.

The gallery had worked with Warhol during his lifetime, notably presenting his \u003cem\u003eSelf Portraits\u003c\/em\u003e in London in 1986.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe poster gathers dozens of Warhol's photographic subjects into a single dense field: storefronts, street signs, anonymous bodies, self-portraits, chairs, cups, clothes hangers and incidental urban details. Each image is repeated in small grids, reproducing the structure of the stitched photographs themselves — the serial logic of the work carried into its own promotional support.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWarhol made more than 500 stitched photographs between 1982 and his death in 1987. Identical black-and-white photographs were arranged in grids and physically joined by sewing machine, returning the snapshot to the serial language of his earlier screenprints while leaving the method of construction plainly visible. Photography was not secondary documentation within Warhol's practice; it was one of the systems through which daily life was collected, repeated and converted into images.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs an object, the poster performs a further translation. The sewn photograph becomes a printed reproduction; the exhibition becomes a portable sheet; repetition becomes distribution.

Originally made in relation to the visual language of magazine spreads, the image turns the format of the centre-fold away from display and towards ambiguity. Sherman appears as a figure already mediated: staged, vulnerable, artificial, cinematic, and withheld.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this poster, the image is placed under another title: \u003cem\u003ePossession\u003c\/em\u003e. The word shifts the work again. What was once a photograph becomes exhibition identity, public advertisement, institutional surface, and collectible document. The image is possessed by the artist, by the role she performs, by the magazine format it addresses, by the Manchester exhibition, and finally by the poster itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWithin The New Rare, this object sits close to the logic of reclassification. It is not simply a reproduction of a Cindy Sherman work, but a secondary support through which the work travelled.

The visible creasing, fold marks, surface scuffing, handling wear, and light edge wear are not treated here as separate from the object's meaning.

His collaboration with his Weimaraner Man Ray became central to the photographs and videos, while later work with Fay Ray and the large-format Polaroid camera expanded the practice into staged colour photography, books, and broader popular circulation.

Penn began developing his platinum-palladium process during the 1960s, eventually constructing a dedicated laboratory on Long Island. The labour-intensive method involved brushing light-sensitive platinum and palladium salts directly onto paper before exposing the sheet in contact with a full-size negative. The resulting prints offered an unusually broad tonal range, deep surface detail and a material presence distinct from conventional photographic reproduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe selection crosses categories that Penn's commercial career had usually kept separate.

By the mid-1990s, staged and conceptual photography had moved decisively beyond a specialist photographic market and into the centre of contemporary art. Sherman is almost a case study in that transition: her works initially appeared in photography auctions, but were subsequently moved into contemporary-art sales where they performed much more strongly. In December 1995, MoMA acquired the complete \u003cem\u003eUntitled Film Stills\u003c\/em\u003e, presenting the entire series in 1997. Photography was no longer simply the medium through which the work was classified; the photograph had become the contemporary artwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSherman's importance to that shift lies partly in how little her photographs depend on conventional ideas of photographic truth. The camera records something that has already been constructed. Costume, makeup, lighting, gesture, cropping, props and setting are assembled before the shutter is released. The \u003cem\u003eUntitled Film Stills\u003c\/em\u003e deliberately resemble fragments from 1950s and '60s Hollywood, film noir, B movies and European art cinema, but belong to no actual film. They appear to have a before and an after without supplying either.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat relationship to cinema is also what gives Sherman's compositions their unusual narrative tension. Each image behaves like evidence extracted from a story that never existed. The viewer supplies the missing narrative from visual conventions already learned through movies, advertising, fashion photography and magazines — a particularly clear form of postmodernism: not inventing an entirely new visual language, but exposing how thoroughly existing languages already organise what we see.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis catalogue is especially good at showing the distance Sherman travelled. Early photographs based around facial transformation and invented characters sit alongside the cinematic Film Stills, later colour work, masks, prostheses and the increasingly artificial bodies of the 1990s. By the later images, representation begins to break down: the convincing human performance is replaced by mannequins, fragments and fabricated surfaces. The construction has become visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1997 was also the year Sherman received the Wolfgang Hahn Prize, with three of her colour photographs acquired for the Museum Ludwig collection. The Baden-Baden exhibition therefore sits within a moment of unusually concentrated European institutional recognition.

Sherman arrives at the end of the twentieth century having spent more than twenty years demonstrating that photographic identity is something assembled: costume, pose, makeup, lighting, genre, expression and camera angle. Her \u003cem\u003eUntitled Film Stills\u003c\/em\u003e had already borrowed the codes of Hollywood, film noir, B movies and European cinema to produce characters whose identities appear familiar even though neither the women nor the films actually existed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen comes 1999. Within a few years, digital cameras, image-editing software, webcams and eventually social media would make the constructed photographic self an everyday condition rather than an avant-garde proposition. Sherman wasn't predicting Instagram, of course, but looking at her practice from the threshold of 2000 makes something unusually clear: she had already treated identity as an interface before interfaces began organising identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat gives this small award book an interesting double direction. It officially looks backward, institutionalising Sherman as one of the major photographers of the twentieth century. But visually it points forward. The book moves from early black-and-white transformations and contact-sheet sequences through dolls, prosthetic bodies and staged scenes. The person gradually becomes less stable. Photography stops functioning as evidence of who somebody is and becomes a system for producing versions of somebody.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEven the Hasselblad context contains a productive contradiction. This is one of photography's major institutional honours, yet it is being given to an artist whose importance rests partly on dismantling the assumption that photography delivers an authentic subject. And then there is the object itself. The bright red cover, oversized lower-case \u003cem\u003ecindy \/ sherman\u003c\/em\u003e, tiny inserted photograph and near-corporate typography feel unexpectedly close to late-1990s identity systems, product packaging and early digital branding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn analogue book sitting directly on the threshold of the digital self.

The book moves from her earliest transformations through the \u003cem\u003eUntitled Film Stills\u003c\/em\u003e, colour photographs and the increasingly artificial, theatrical and grotesque bodies of the 1980s and '90s.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut this particular copy has acquired another identity. Ex-library. Faded. Handled. Retained.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor Sherman, identity is never a fixed original waiting to be revealed. It is produced through costume, posture, framing, repetition and circumstance. Something similar has happened to this book. It left the publisher as one copy within an edition and subsequently passed through a library system: catalogued, shelved, handled, exposed to light and eventually released back into circulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fading is especially good here. The already lurid red-and-yellow cover image has been altered by time into another version of itself. What would normally be described simply as loss of colour becomes evidence of duration. The image has undergone its own transformation without Sherman's intervention.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ex-library provenance pushes this further. A library copy has a peculiar double life: first as a published commodity, then as institutional property, then — once withdrawn — as an individual object carrying the residue of that classification system. The generic monograph becomes a specific copy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat feels unusually appropriate for Sherman. There is another useful parallel in her long relationship with Schirmer\/Mosel. The publisher did not reduce Sherman to one definitive career book. Her work repeatedly returned in newly edited forms — including \u003cem\u003eThe Complete Untitled Film Stills\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eClowns\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eHistory Portraits\u003c\/em\u003e. The same practice continually reappears under another cover, another sequence, another title. In that sense the artist monograph behaves almost like one of Sherman's characters. The source remains recognizable, but the presentation changes. And this copy adds one more version.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSherman as subject. Sherman as publication. Publication as library object. Library object returned to the market. Its flaws are therefore not incidental to the copy. They are what distinguish it from the cleaner one beside it. The fading records exposure. The library history records placement. Handling records readership. Condition becomes biography.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCondition: Ex-library copy.
