Each book is also signed and numbered and is contained in an archival slipcase. This special publication is initially priced at $500.

“Though most photographers are driven to find a new vision, even the best fail more often than they succeed. In [these images], Horenstein has succeeded to a dazzling degree, evading the abundant cliches of animal photography at every turn.” - Owen Edwards

ANIMALIA is a collection of the best of noted photographer Henry Horenstein’s images of sea and land creatures. Described variously as evocative, mysterious, romantic, surprising, and weird, Horenstein’s abstract images will make the viewer see otherwise familiar animals in a new and different light.

Horenstein’s ANIMALIA photographs were at the Harvard Museum of Natural History (http://www.hmnh.harvard.edu) throughout the summer of 2008. See more at http://www.animaliabook.com.

The exhibit went on a national tour to a variety of museums and other venues, through the traveling exhibition company art2art (http://www.art2art.org).

Henry Horenstein is author of over thirty books and monographs published by Viking, Chronicle, powerHouse, Stewart, Tabori & Chang, and Pond Press—including Honky Tonk, Humans, Racing Days, Creatures, Aquatics, Canine, and Close Relations. Horenstein lives in Boston and is professor of photography at Rhode Island School of Design. A range of his work can be seen at http://www.horenstein.com.
