COLORPOINTS.
Zurich, Switzerland: Editions Stemmle, 1999. Hardcover. First Edition/First Printing. 143 pages. As New/As New. The photographer's breakthrough debut collection. A stylish and sexy production by Editions Stemmle: Oversize-volume format. A very tall and slim book. Hard boards with titles on spine, as issued. Photographs by Frank P. Wartenberg. Introduction by Wolfgang Behnken. Essay by Enno Kaufhold. Printed on thick coated stock paper in Zurich, Switzerland to the highest standards. In pictorial DJ with titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Presents the photographer's most representative and finest work thus far. A highly successful commercial photographer whose work has appeared in many of the world's major magazines (most new photographs appear only in magazines; very few end up in book form), Wartenberg's specialties are the portrait and the nude in all their visual splendor. "Where other visual artists have shifted to digital mage production, Frank P. Wartenberg remains stubbornly loyal to the original traditional photograph. His pictures, with their striking forms, colors, and moods, derive their nuances from his magnificent use of light" (Enno Kaufhold). As a master of lighting, there is no question that Wartenberg is unsurpassed among his generation of high-profile photographers who work primarily in color. His dazzling and highly erotic male, female, duo, and group nudes are worth the price of entry. This is an Import title, was not widely distributed in the United States, had a relatively small print run, and is now out-of-print. This is one of few copies still available online and has no flaws, a pristine beauty. A scarce copy thus. One of the most accomplished living photographers. A flawless copy. .
