Description: Introduction and 123 black and white photographs by Bruce Davidson. Design: Elton Robinson. Editing: Bruce Davidson . 4to (cm 30x28). pp. 130. . Molto buono (Very Good). Lievissime fioriture in prossimità del dorso (Very slight yellowings near the spine). Prima edizione (First edition). Fotolibri2 [Roth, 2004] Roth Andrew, The Open Book. A history of the photographic book from 1878 to the present. Hasselblad Center, 2004. For two years Bruce Davidson photographed one block in East Harlem. He went back day after day, standing on sidewalks, knocking on doors, asking permissions to photograph a face, a child, a room, a family. Through his skill, his extraordinary vision, and his deep respect for his subjects, Mr. Davidson's portrait of the people of East 100th Street is a powerful statement of the dignity and humanity that is in all men.Per due anni Bruce Davidson ha fotografato un angolo di East Harlem, tornando giorno dopo giorno, in piedi sui marciapiedi, a bussare alle porte, chiedendo il permesso di fotografare un volto, un bambino, una stanza, una famiglia. Attraverso la sua straordinaria visione e il profondo rispetto per i suoi soggetti, l'affresco del popolo di East 100th Street è una potente affermazione della dignità e umanità che è in tutti gli uomini.GUARDA IL VIDEO

Description: FIRST EDITION, ASSOCIATION COPY, SIGNED AND INSCRIBED BY DAVIDSON: "To Lee Witkin / Bruce Davidson". Witkin was the enormously influential gallery owner who helped introduce the public to the masterpieces of contemporary photography. "Davidson returned to this blasted stretch of East Harlem regularly for nearly two years (always bringing prints for the people he photographed) until he and his bulky view camera began to be a part of the block's daily life. The published results are wrenching and revelatory. Davidson's strobe doesn't dispel the gloom or glamorize the ruin of the apartments, storefronts, and rubble-strewn lots where people stopped to pose for him, but the rapport he established allows those people to surrender to the camera with their humanity intact. The book's glossy duotone reproductions -- all face-to-face on spreads with wide white borders stripped of captions and page numbers -- give the grimiest surfaces a rich warmth and a luxurious sheen" (Roth, The Book of 101 Books). Roth 101. Parr/Badger II. Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 1970. Quarto (11.25 x 12.25 in), original cream linen with photographic image in center, original printed acetate. Small chip to acetate at the top of spine, otherwise fine. A beautiful copy, rare signed and with a good association.
