In den WarenkorbSoft cover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: None, As Issued. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 12 pages. Published in 1999. Exhibition Catalog. The first and only edition. Published in a small and limited print run as a softcover original only. There is no ISBN. The Catalog is now rare. An austerely elegant production by Fr…ed Cray: Regular-sized volume format. Pristine-white softcovers with black titles in front, as issued. Photographs by Fred Cray. Essays by Andy Grundberg and Martha Cooley. Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper in the United States to the highest standards. Without DJ, as issued. Published on the occasion of the eponymous exhibition held at the Tremaine Gallery of Hotchkiss School, where Fred Cray studied and graduated from in 1975. Presents a selection of Fred Cray's self-portraits and collage photographs. They hark back to the Pictorialist tradition of photography, which emphasized expressiveness and aspired to the level of painting, rejecting the sharpness, clarity, and reproducibility of the photograph. In Cray's singular case, "self-portrait" means NOT being recognized in any of the portraits. In one of his most beautiful images, his back is actually turned from the camera. In another, his extreme closeup is a study in the color red of the most abstracted, Minimalist kind. As Andy Grundberg points out, these painting-photographs will be recognized as powerful and eloquent responses to the "objective" art of such figures as Richard Prince and Cindy Sherman. The only works that approach Cray's self-portraits in ambition and achievement are Adam Fuss' and Christopher Bucklow's, both also influenced by the Pictorialist tradition. An esoteric, somewhat eccentric figure, he keeps American Surrealism and the very idea of art alive in our time, which desperately needs it. Fred Cray has not received the kind of recognition that he deserves because his art is quirkily personal. But he is The Real Thing: Thoughtful yet intuitive, and deeply moving. As such, he is an anomaly in the midst of industrial-scale, manufactured art. His time will come because it is on his side. An absolute "must-have" title for Fred Cray collectors. This title is a contemporary art photography classic. As far as we know, this is the only copy of the Exhibition Catalog available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A rare copy thus. 9 full-page color and collage plates. One of the most brilliant American artists of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER FRED CRAY TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). no.

Soft cover. Zustand: As New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: None, As Issued. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 58 pages. Published in 2016. Artist Book. Collection of unique silhouettes. One of the most beautiful Artist Books of our time. Limited Edition of 120 numbered copies. The first and only edition. An austerely elegant pro…duction by Fred Cray: Regular-sized volume format. White pictorial softcovers with titles on the cover, as issued. Photographically-based art by Fred Cray. There is no text. Two loose 4 X 6 unique postcards laid-in. Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper in the United States to the highest standards. Without DJ, as issued. Presents, in a Limited Edition format, Fred Cray's "Silhouettes". In many ways, his most exquisite "Unique Photographs" project thus far. Each of the images shows a silhouette that has been superimposed with another photographically-sourced image, rendering the silhouette insignificant albeit ever-present, and resulting in a unique image because the artist has made only one of each. Cray calls each resulting image a "double-printed photograph", of which there will potentially be an infinite number "left out in the world as unique photographs". It's an ingenious idea (that uses a rudimentary process called superimposition) because it turns the photograph, the most easily reproducible medium, into something unique, literally one-of-a-kind. At the same time, Cray reminds us of the artwork's reproducibility by making each piece exactly the same 4 X 6 inch postcard size (when he could have produced different sizes, as most people would have done). It is, of course, precisely Cray's rigor to the point of static repetition that makes him an artist. You could say that while Cray is basically agreeing with Walter Benjamin's insight about "the work of art in the age of mechanical reproduction", he is also dis-agreeing with it, by showing that despite its reproducible character, the photograph does not diminish or undermine an artist's ability to create a unique work of art that reflects his personal vision. Cray reminds us, pace Benjamin, that the most serious and ambitious contemporary art is increasingly more, not less, photographically-based. As Andy Grundberg has pointed out, these "painting-photographs" will be recognized as powerful and eloquent responses to the "objective" art of such figures as Richard Prince and Cindy Sherman.

As such, he is an anomaly in the midst of industrial-scale, manufactured art. His time will come because it is on his side. An absolute "must-have" title for Fred Cray collectors. This is a copy of the Limited Edition of 120 numbered copies, indicated/numbered as such on the Back Limitation Page. It is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed in black ink-pen by Fred Cray. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. Laid in are four loose 4 X 6 inch unique postcard artworks. This is an Artist Book collectible. As far as we know, this is the only such signed copy (with four unique photographs) of the Limited Edition available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Cray did NOT sign most copies of the Limited Edition. He also limited himself to just one (1) unique photograph for most copies. This copy is signed and comes with four unique photographs. A rare signed copy thus. 37 color plates, 2 unique photographs. One of the most brilliant American artists of our time. A fine copy.

An original artwork that the artist has produced once a year to celebrate the Holiday Season and welcome the New Year. This particular piece measures 15 X 10 i…nches. The piece is unique. Presents Fred Cray's "Untitled Original Artwork". One of a Series of unique pieces that he makes once a year, the work of art as thoughtful gesture. The art is Surrealist-inspired, with a touch of Symbolism, and consists of three juxtaposed "found" items that are pasted on hand-cut paper board: Two New York Lottery tickets (which symbolize the ultimate good luck-wish for the New Year) on both sides with a self-portrait in the middle (which symbolizes the ultimate mystery and beauty of art and life itself). His dedication is hand-written at the back. In this truly wonderful Series, Cray uses the juxtaposition of photographs, the most easily reproducible medium, to make something unique, literally one-of-a-kind.

He reminds us that the most serious and ambitious contemporary art is increasingly more, not less, photographically-based. An esoteric, somewhat eccentric figure, Cray keeps American Surrealism and the very idea of art alive in our time, which desperately needs it. Fred Cray has not received the kind of recognition that he deserves because his art is quirkily personal. But he is The Real Thing: Thoughtful yet intuitive, and deeply moving. As such, he is an anomaly in the midst of industrial-scale, manufactured art. His time will come because it is on his side. An absolute "must-have" work of art for Fred Cray collectors. This 15 X 8 inch original artwork is very prominently and beautifully signed and inscribed in pencil on verso by the artist: "Many thanks for the show and support this year. Enjoy the New Year. Love, Fred Cray". The recipient, Martha Schneider, who is named, is an important figure in the art photography world. This is the only such artwork available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A rare signed piece thus. 1 original artwork. One of the most brilliant American artists of our time. A collectible piece. (SEE ALSO OTHER FRED CRAY TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). Signed by Author.

An original artwork that the artist has produced once a year to celebrate the Holiday Season and welcome the New Year. This particular piece measures 8 X 12 in…ches. The piece is unique. Presents Fred Cray's "Untitled Original Artwork". One of a Series of unique pieces that he makes once a year, the work of art as thoughtful gesture. The art is Surrealist-inspired, with a touch of Symbolism, and consists of two juxtaposed "found" items that are pasted on hand-cut paper board: A New York Lottery ticket (which symbolizes the ultimate good luck-wish for the New Year) and a gauzy female nude image (which symbolizes the ultimate mystery and beauty of art and life itself). His dedication is hand-written at the back.
