L annonce officielle, en 2008, de la redécouverte de la valise mexicaine de Robert Capa, dont la trace avait été perdue depuis 1939, a provoqué un engouement considérable dans l univers du photo reportage et de la recherche historique. L existence de cette valise était connue : Robert Capa l avait mentionnée à plusieurs reprises dans ses écrits, et son frère, Cornell n avait jamais cessé d en poursuivre activement la recherche.
Après plus de soixante-dix années de pérégrinations rocambolesques et de péripéties diverses, la valise - en fait, trois boîtes de rouleaux de pellicule, soigneusement classés - révélait son extraordinaire contenu : 4 500 négatifs d images de la guerre civile espagnole, prises entre 1936 et 1939 par Gerda Taro - compagne de Capa tragiquement disparue en 1937 pendant la bataille de Brunete -, David Seymour dit Chim et Robert Capa.
(...) Dirigée par Cynthia Young, conservatrice des archives de Robert et Cornell Capa, l édition de La Valise mexicaine, sous forme d un ouvrage en deux volumes, présente l intégralité des films miraculeusement retrouvés ainsi que les documents d époque (journaux, magazines, revues) qui permettent de restituer l importance historique de cette somme iconographique.
De nombreux textes et analyses critiques, rédigéspar les meilleurs spécialistes et chercheurs des différentes disciplines convoquées, éclairent de façon approfondie les différents aspects et problématiques que soulèvent la découverte de ces milliers d images et la vie fascinante de leurs remarquables auteurs, Robert Capa, Gerda Taro et David Seymour dit Chim.
Publié à l'occasion de l'exposition présentée par le International Center of Photography, à New York, du 24 septembre 2010 au 9 janvier 2011.
Deux volumes 25 x 30,3 cm., brochés, couvertures illustrées, étui illustré, 160 et 432 pages.

Sometimes, even in the world of photography, miracles happen. On 19 December 2007, three battered, commonplace cardboard boxes arrived at the International Center of Photography in New York. Within these boxes - the so-called Mexican Suitcase - was a treasure trove of photographic history believed lost since World War II: the legendary Spanish Civil War negatives of Robert Capa, Gerda Taro, and David Seymour (known as "Chim"). The Mexican Suitcase contained 126 rolls of film, mostly shot between May 1936 and spring 1939, that are an inestimable record of innovative war photography and of a definitive episode in Spanish history. The photographs include Capa's images of the Battle of Rio Segre, Chim's famous image of a woman nursing a baby at a land reform meeting in Estremadura, and Taro's last photos at the Battle of Brunete where she was killed in 1937. The story of the Mexican Suitcase itself is as fascinating as the photographs it contained. Carried by Capa's studio manager from Paris to Bordeaux by bicycle in 1939, it came into the possession of General Francisco Aguilar González, the Mexican ambassador to the Vichy government in 1941-42, and found its way to Mexico City. Decades later the suitcase was discovered among González's belongings and in 2007 was given to ICP, founded by Robert Capa's brother Cornell Capa and home of the Capa and Taro archives as well as a large Chim collection. In 1979, Cornell Capa had implored the public to come forward with information about the Mexican Suitcase which he had spent years looking for: "Anyone who has information regarding the suitcase should contact me and will be blessed in advance." This landmark two-volume publication, which accompanies a major exhibition at ICP and reproduces all 4,500 negatives from the suitcase, embodies the blessing Capa spoke of and presents the miraculous contents of the suitcase to the public for the first time. Co-published with International Center of Photography, New York. Exhibition: ICP, New York, September 2010.

September 2010 bis zum 9. Januar 2011. "The Mexican Suitcase will for the first time give the public an opportunity to experience images drawn from this famous collection of recovered negatives. In December 2007, three boxes filled with rolls of film, containing 4,500 35mm negatives of the Spanish Civil War by Robert Capa, Gerda Taro, and Chim (David Seymour)-which had been considered lost since 1939-arrived at the International Center of Photography. These three photographers, who lived in Paris, worked in Spain, and published internationally, laid the foundation for modern war photography. Their work has long been considered some of the most innovative and passionate coverage of the Spanish Civil War (1936-39). Many of the contact sheets made from the negatives will be on view as part of the exhibition, which will look closely at some of the major stories by Capa, Taro, and Chim as interpreted through the individual frames. These images will be seen alongside the magazines of the period in which they were published and with the photographers' own contact notebooks. The exhibition is organized by ICP assistant curator Cynthia Young" (Info Homepage International Center of Photography). N° de réf. du vendeur 70117AB
