Guy Bourdin 1980 Pentax Calendar
Exceptionally scarce- especially considering the fame of the images. As is commonly known, Bourdin did not publish during his lifetime (except advertising and editorials) so printed output is thin on the ground, this being the hardest item to find.

Comme des Garcons Furniture
A real obscurity. It is not very well known that for some time Kawakubo made a foray into furniture, and these discreet 4 pages appear to be amongst the only surviving evidence. Superbly understated.

Workshop 1-8 (all published issues)
Key publication from the radical Workshop Photography School founded by Daido in 1974, and co founded by Tomatsu, Araki, Hosoe, Fukase and Noriaki Yokosuka. The school was very small and each photographer taught for one day a week with emphasis on one to one tutoring. Alumni included Keizo Kitajima, Seiji Kurata (his work that later became Flash Up is in issue 8, along with work unpublished elsewhere), Osamu Takizawa and others. The newspaper was initially issued on a subscription only basis until issue 5, where it was published and sold as a magazine until the school closed in 1976. Each issue of Workshop was edited by a founder member, with sections by each in every issue, along with work created with and by the students. Overally it's a brilliant document of the development of post provoke photography. After the dissolution of the school former students Keizo Kitajima and Seiji Kurata, along with Daido Moriyama founded CAMP gallery which continued until the early 80s .
workshop 8
Key publication from the radical Workshop Photography School founded by Daido in 1974, and co founded by Tomatsu, Araki, Hosoe, Fukase and Noriaki Yokosuka. The school was very small and each photographer taught for one day a week with emphasis on one to one tutoring. Alumni included Keizo Kitajima, Seiji Kurata, Osamu Takizawa and others. Each issue of Workshop was edited by a founder member, with sections by each in every issue, along with work created with and by the students. Overally it's a brilliant document of the development of post provoke photography. This - the last issue, is primarily work by Seiji Kurata, including some that would later become 'Flash Up'. Also interesting to see an advertisment for CAMP gallery, which by this type was already up and running.
workshop issue 7
Key publication from the radical Workshop Photography School founded by Daido in 1974, and co founded by Tomatsu, Araki, Hosoe, Fukase and Noriaki Yokosuka. The school was very small and each photographer taught for one day a week with emphasis on one to one tutoring. Alumni included Keizo Kitajima, Seiji Kurata, Osamu Takizawa and others. Each issue of Workshop was edited by a founder member, with sections by each in every issue, along with work created with and by the students. Overally it's a brilliant document of the development of post provoke photography. This issue is bondage heavy, Meiji bondage, pregnant bondage, and nudes, Fukuo Ikeda. I'm assuming Araki was in charge of this issue.
