The very best photographic books whisk us away from familiar surroundings in search of far-flung places—and none more so than this impressive volume, a retrospective of photographer Thomas Hoepker’s wide-ranging work. Spanning sixty years, Wanderlust is a spectacular showcase for this photojournalist and former president of Magnum Photos. Hoepker’s remarkable success as a global historian has created an unparalleled visual archive, and he chronicles both the planet’s momentous occurrences and the striking realities of everyday lifeequal aplomb. This landmark book allows readers to bear witness to such world-defining events as the Cold War, the fall of the Berlin Wall, and 9/11 in New York—all of which Hoepker’s evocative images helped etch in our collective consciousness.

The Last Son
The Last Son charts Goldberg’s growth as an artist alongside his father’s acceptance of his own unrealized dreams. More generally, the narrative also reads as a story about American perseverance, family dynamics, and the struggle to exceed the expectations of those closest to us. Mixing photographs, collage, handwritten text, and stills from home movies, Goldberg mines his archive to trace his memories, beginning with his first photographs taken. The book is a sculptural collection of overflowing pages, offering a palpable interaction with his process of storytelling. The Last Son allows a tactile glimpse into Goldberg’s empathic process of making meaning from one’s history. The Last Son is Goldberg’s second book in a personal, three-part Super Labo series weaving together an assemblage of visual memories that chart his own Bildungsroman. It follows Goldberg’s 134 Ways to Forget (Super Labo, 2011), a double-sided interactive poster/zine that juxtaposes Goldberg’s photographs with his writing as he sorts through 134 ways to forget a relationship. The third installment in this Super Labo series will continue to follow Goldberg’s personal trajectory–and include the never-before-pd work he made during his travels in Asia in the 1970’s.
