Friedlander, Lee - Jim Dine. Photographs & Etchings.. London. Petersburg Press., 1969.
Price: US$199.62 + shipping
Description: First Edition. 23 x 15 cm. 10 Blatt. OKarton-Leporello. Erstes und letztes Blatt mit mittigen Fixierlöchlein, dort etwas Papierabrieb. Insgesamt etwas nachgedunkeltes, aber noch gutes Exemplar. Leporello zu der in 75 Exemplaren durch die Petersburg Press herausgegebenen Mappe mit Fotografien von Lee Friedlander und Radierungen von Jim Dine. Alle Arbeiten sind hier beidseitig abgebildet. Auf dem ersten Blatt unter dem Foto der beiden Künstler von Jim Dine handschriftlich signiert, datiert 1974 und gewidmet "for Joe". Auf dem Impressumblatt eine weitere handschriftliche Widmung in dünnem Bleistift an eben diesen Joe "von Jim und mir", unterzeichnet Hartmut. Es handelt sich hierbei wohl um den Drucker Hartmut Kaminski, der für Dieter Roth unter anderem auch für die Petersburg Press druckte und vermutlich auch die Grafiken von Jim Dine für diese Edition gedruckt hat. Entgegen der Buchpublikation "Work From The Same House - Photographs & Etchings" aus dem gleichen Jahr ist das Leporello, die erste Veröffentlichung Friedlanders, sehr selten.

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.
