Published by the Sollac Corporation of Dunkerque in 1988 to commemorate their 25th anniversary, this catalogue features the commissioned work of the three Magnum photographers. Each of the three chapters presents a single photographer's view of the company's steel-works: Salgado focuses on the workers; Gruyaert presents color impressionistic images of the factory environment; while Koudelka employs his panorama camera to examine the landscape around the plants. None of these images have been published elsewhere.

(Gruyaert's break from television wasn't all peaceful, tho...)
Gruyaert's break from television wasn't all peaceful, though: his first serious body of work contained photographs of distorted TV images. By following events such as the 1972 Munich Olympics from home, he created a distressed parody of the current-affairs photo-story. The work caused controversy, both for its disrespectful assault on the culture of television and for its radical challenge (both formally and in terms of content) to the conventions of press photography. Gruyaert views it as the closest thing to journalistic photography he has ever made.

('It's not about cars' by Paris based photographer Harry G...)
'It's not about cars' by Paris based photographer Harry Gruyaert, including several images that are presented to the public for the first time. As the title states, this book is not about cars. The automobiles only function as a leitmotif to guide the viewer through Gruyaert's varied oeuvre, which is characterized by a cinematographic way of framing and sensitive treatment of color, form, and light. Gruyaert decided in the second half of the 1970s as one of the first photographers in Europe to commit himself entirely to color photography. His cinematographic background inflicted on him an aesthetic conception of photography. Gruyaert's images are simply snapshots of magical moments in which different visual elements, primarily color, form, light, and movement, spontaneously come together in front of his lens. His bold, saturated tonalities are autonomous elements that grant structure and depth to the composition.

A two-volume publication, one volume featuring Harry Gruyaert’s photographs of Los Angeles and Las Vegas in 1981, the other his photographs taken in Moscow in 1989 At a time when the world was politically divided into East and West, Magnum photographer Harry Gruyaert’s quest for light and sensuality led him to capture the colors of two very different worlds: the vibrant glitziness of Las Vegas and Los Angeles in 1981, and the austere restraint of Moscow in 1989 just before the fall of the Soviet Union.

In this stunning collection, Magnum photographer Harry Gruyaert explores the visual power of shorelines. The “edges” that Harry Gruyaert, a preeminent member of the Magnum photo agency, explores in this lush, full-color book are the oceans, seas, and rivers where humans meet the edge of the shoreline and the water begins. This unique volume, which opens from the bottom up, takes the reader to Israel’s Dead Sea, the Niger River in Mali, the North Sea of Iceland, South Korea, and Biarritz, as Gruyaert’s photos record the subtle chromatic vibrations of the edges of the far East and West.

Harry Gruyaert: Last Call highlights the photographer’s signature ability to seamlessly weave texture, light, color, and architecture into a single frame with his photographs taken at airports. These photographs beautifully record these liminal, yet reliably inhabited spaces in a striking and sometimes surprising fashion.

Harry Gruyaert was born on August 25, 1941, in Antwerp, Belgium.
Harry Gruyaert studied at the School of Film and Photography in Brussels from 1959 to 1962.
Harry Gruyaert became a photographer in Paris while working as a freelance director of photography for Flemish television between 1963 and 1967.
In 1969, Gruyaert made the first of many trips to Morocco. From 1970 to 1972 he lived in London. This is an opportunity for unprecedented visual experiments: he decided to "cover" the Munich Olympics of 1972 and the first Apollo flights, on a broken TV screen he had at its disposal, by manipulating the colors. Between 1973 and 1980, he began a long essay on Belgium first in black and white and then in color.
Harry Gruyaert joined Magnum Photos in 1981 and continues many trips including Asia, United States, Middle East, and Russia. For more than thirty years, from Belgium to Morocco, and from India to Egypt, Harry Gruyaert has been recording the subtle chromatic vibrations of Eastern and Western light.
In the 2000s Harry Gruyaert abandons film to digital photography. Very concerned about the quality of prints made previously in Cibachrome and sometimes dye transfer, he experimented early in the inkjet printing. Better suited to revealing the rich shades found in his films, digital print opens new possibilities for his work, bringing it one step closer to his original intention, namely to give color the means to assert its true existence.
Harry Gruyaert is an internationally renowned photographer. His work has been published in a number of books, been exhibited widely around the world. He is the winner of the 1976 Kodak Prize. His work is held in the permanent collections of AST, Foto/Industria, Bologna, Italy; Harry Ransom Center, University of Texas at Austin; Bibliothèque Nationale de France, Paris, and David Roberts Collection, London.

Harry Gruyaert has two daughters Saskia and Marieke Gruyaert.
