[Peter Galassi, Friedlander. (New York: MoMA, 2005), "Books, Special Editions, and Portfolios" (pp. 444-459), #5.]. As New (from Friedlander's personal archive). 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. From 1973 to 1974, Friedlander and his collaborative partner Burt Wolf edited four iconic portfolios at the Double Elephant Press in New York, featuring photographs by some of the most influential photographers of the twentieth century: Manuel Álvarez Bravo, Walker Evans, Garry Winogrand, and Friedlander himself. (The name, Double Elephant Press, is an allusion to the large size of the paper, which is known as a "double elephant folio.") Each of the four limited edition portfolios contain fifteen photographs by each artist, representing their distinct visions and sensibilities. Taken as a whole, the endeavor represents a unique collaborative project that has become a touchstone in the history of photography. In the introduction to 15 Photographs, Walker Evans writes: "Bemusing and sometimes dazzling are these prints. Seeing a brace of them, it becomes clear that this photographer artist is to be taken seriously even while he is grinning--because he uses photography with deadly aim to reflect and record only his own very special, personal vision of his world. It is oddly refreshing, unselfconsciously striking a. Signed by Author(s).…

The walnut blocks were cut to create the backgrounds. A marvelously inventive, colorful, exuberant work.

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine in Fine Archival Box. Limited Edition. Limited Edition. Hardcover. "Marking twenty years of the Double Elephant Press Michael Kuch is publishing ILLUMINATIONS -- AN ACROSTIC MARTYROLOGY. Modeled after an illuminated manuscript, it contains mezzotints of invented martyrs with marginalia of illuminated relief-etchings. The work revolves around thirteen images of imaginary icons who are martyred by their own enlightenment. One is Impaled by shafts of ineluctable light, and another, Lifted to glory by the stones of critics. These images are mezzotints with further etching -- hence Kuch is calling them "mezzo e mezzotints." In the manner of an illuminated manuscript, the thirteen martyrs are surrounded by tangential marginalia. This decorative imagery predominantly reference post-enlightenment science. The marginalia and text are composed of nearly 100 small relief etchings a la Blake. These are hand water colored by Kuch using hand-made watercolors from Kramer pigments. The marginalia and text appear on the page preceding each mezzo e mezzotint martyr with a window cut in it. This allows for viewing of the martyr with the colorful marginalia as well as on its own in stark black and white when the page is turned." (artist statement). Tight, bright, and unmarred.
