ARTHUS-BERTRAND (Yann). 100 New Photographs by Yann Arthus-Bertrand for Press Freedom. Paris, Reporters Without Borders, 2007. In-4 format, illustrated hardcover by the publisher. An album published to benefit Reporters Without Borders, featuring one hundred previously unpublished photographs by Yann Arthus-Bertrand, taken as a continuation of his work on *Earth from Above*. Conceived as a book in support of press freedom, it combines an extensive color portfolio with texts detailing Reporters Without Borders’ efforts on behalf of journalists who are imprisoned, threatened, or censored around the world. In it, Yann Arthus-Bertrand renews his aerial perspective on natural, agricultural, and urban landscapes, presenting a series of images in which the shapes, colors, and rhythms of the land form true photographic abstractions. The book is part of the renowned series of photo albums published by Reporters Without Borders, the proceeds from which directly fund the organization’s work. It also reflects the photographer’s longstanding commitment to environmental issues and civil liberties. Full-color illustrations throughout the book. Condition: Very good copy. Minimal signs of wear on the covers; interior is in pristine condition.
