This stunningly designed album showcases the imagery of beloved and influential photographers of the twentieth century, such as Berenice Abbott, Richard Avedon, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Imogen Cunningham, Nan Goldin, Susan Meiselas, Gordon Parks, Sebastião Salgado, Weegee, and James Van Der Zee. Spanning Pictorialism, portraiture, and fashion, to documentary and photojournalism, and featuring iconic figures from the fields of art, politics, entertainment, and social justice, Presence: The Photography Collection of Judy Glickman Lauder celebrates photography’s ability to capture the human experience.
Mark Bessire introduces the volume, essays by Anjuli Lebowitz and Adam D. Weinberg provide historical and artistic context, and an autobiographical essay by Glickman Lauder tells the story of her collection.

Beyond the Shadows: The Holocaust and the Danish Exception
The Aperture Foundation released Beyond the Shadows: The Holocaust and the Danish Exception on the 75th anniversary of the remarkable rescue of the Danish Jews during the Nazi occupation in 1943. The publication features Mrs. Lauder’s photographs over a 30-year span documenting concentration camps and portraits of both survivors of the rescue and the brave men and women who risked their own lives to help deliver the Jews in danger east to Sweden.
In a time of unprecedented global struggles with migration and displacement, whether it be from war, poverty, or environmental disaster, this book demonstrates passionately what hate can lead to, and what can be done to stand in its path. Sir Elton John aptly summarizes the project, “This is photography and storytelling for our times, about what hate leads to, and how we can stand up to it. Beyond the Shadows is powerful and revealing, and sharply relevant to all of us who believe in the human family.”
