This first edition was limited to 2000 copies. Out of print. Lee Friedlander's work is widely known for transforming our visual understanding of contemporary American culture. Known for passionately embracing all subject matter, Friedlander photographed nearly every facet of American life from the 1950s to the present. From factories in Pennsylvania, to the jazz scene in New Orleans, to the deserts of the Southwest, Friedlander's complex formal visual strategies continue to influence the way we understand, analyze, and experience modern American experience. Friedlander's work continues to influence photographic practice internationally, in part due to the heightened sense of self-awareness that is a trademark of so many of his photographs and in part because of his ability to embrace wide-ranging subject matter, always interpreting it in an elegance that hadn't existed prior to his work. New in publisher's shrink-wrap (slit open for signature). From the Introduction by Peter Galassi: "Photography likes sculpture. It likes to see how things look from different angles, especially things that don't move. It likes light falling on surfaces and the way the two become one in the picture. . . Above all, it likes the way photography, which makes living figures still, awakens figures frozen in stone." From the publisher: "The Staglieno cemetery near Genoa was created in the 19th century. It is home not only to those whose bones lie buried beneath, but also to the splendidly ornate display of sculptures erected in their memory. Carved from inanimate lumps of stone, these memorials have become more than the monumental tributes they were originally commissioned to be. Now feathered with a gentle coat of dust, each appears to have taken on a life of its own and out of the melancholy of death comes the comforting notion of a presence that will remain. This series of photographs by the inestimable Lee Friedlander will certainly delight with its beauty; it may also surprise with its warmth, and its sense of immortality. Superbly printed in duotone on matte art paper, and bound in rich velvet, Staglieno is published in an edition of 2,000 copies. Introduction by Peter Galassi, Chief Curator, Department of Photography, The Museum of Modern Art, New York." Signed by Author.

Paper-covered boards with title stamped in black on cover and spine; no dust jacket as issued. Photographs by Lee Friedlander. Drawings by Pierre Bonnard. Essay by Peter Galassi. 40 pp., with numerous four-color and duotone plates. 9-7/8 x 9-7/8 inches. Published on the occasion of an exhibition at Pace/MacGill Gallery. New (from Friedlander's personal archive). From the publisher: "Featuring gelatin silver prints by legendary American photographer Lee Friedlander in dialogue with drawings by the French Post-Impressionist painter Pierre Bonnard, the exhibition Lee Friedlander & Pierre Bonnard: Photographs & Drawings at Pace MacGill Gallery explores the aesthetic affinities that unite these artists' depictions of the natural world across time and media. For both artists, their working process was linked to feeling. For both, capturing the landscape seems akin to discovering it. Beyond that, what links Bonnard and Friedlander is their unconventional and authentic style, which generates unadorned landscapes, leaving the viewer with the impression that they have seen these things with their own eyes."

Quer-4°, 480 S. zahlr. meist ganzs. Abb., Broschur, Tadell. EA. Text engl.- Lee Friedlander (*1934) studierte am Art Center in Los Angeles, begann 1946 oder 1948 zu fotografieren, und wurde durch brillante schwarz-weiße Dokumentaraufnahmen als kritischer Chronist des amerikanischen Alltags bekannt. Friedlander fotografierte anfangs Straßenszenen und wandte sich später auch anderen fotografischen Genres wie Akt, Landschaft, Blumen, Bäume, Selbstporträts (Self Portraits, 1970) und der Darstellung unterschiedlicher Berufe zu. Kennzeichnend für seine Fotografie ist die Arbeit in Serien. In den 1960er Jahren lieferte er auch Coverfotos für einige Alben von Atlantic Records. In den späten 1970ern erstellte er Reportagen zu vergessenen Denkmälern der amerikanischen Geschichte (American Monuments, 1976), zu Arbeitslosigkeit und anderen Themen (z. B. American Musicians, 1998). Viel Aufmerksamkeit erhielt Friedlanders Opus At Work. Hier versammeln sich sechs verschiedene Serien zur Industriearbeit, zwischen Schwerindustrie und Call-Center. Seiner Meinung nach ist das Buch die beste Möglichkeit, Bilder darzustellen oder auch zu veröffentlichen, denn hier hat der Fotograf die Möglichkeit, ganze Bilderserien abzuschließen.Friedlanders Arbeiten wurden 1963 erstmals in einer Einzelausstellung im George Eastman House in Rochester vorgestellt. Lee Friedlander wurde u. a. von Walker Evans beeinflusst. Er unterrichtete u. a. an der University of Minnesota. 1999 wurde er in die American Academy of Arts and Sciences gewählt. Seit 2007 ist er gewähltes Mitglied der American Philosophical Society. 3500 gr. Schlagworte: Photographie.

As New in New (from Friedlander's personal archive). A Mint copy. From the publisher: "Lee Friedlander is one of the most important of the 1960s generation of photographers for whom the posture of disinterested objectivity served as a vehicle for passionate personal inquiries. His large body of work-he most often produces extended series of pictures on a chosen theme, then publishes them in book form-is broad in subject matter and supple and complex in style, and focuses on what he calls America's 'social landscape.' At the same time, he has pursued a playful dialogue with artistic tradition-as though open-eyed curiosity about the world, and a sophisticated taste for the wiles of picture-making were one and the same thing. Lee Friedlander takes a deep critical look at Friedlander's abundantly productive career. Including over 500 photographs grouped by series, and an incisive essay by Peter Galassi, Chief Curator of Photography at The Museum of Modern Art, this oversized publication is the most comprehensive review of the photographer's career to date."
