Beschreibung

This is a deluxe signed first edition of "The Little Screens" published by Fraenkel Gallery, San Francisco in 2001 with a limitation of 100 copies this being number 85. From the publisher: "The Little Screens is a revered and influential body of early work by Lee Friedlander, but it has never before been brought together in its entirety. The book's title refers to the television screens housed in motel rooms and other nondescript rooms of anonymous character spread throughout the country during the 1960s. Each screen vividly transmits images of popular culture icons, political figures, or minor celebrities of the times. The environments are iconographic ghost-filled rooms filled with bland furniture -- rooms without personality, rooms that could be, and are, anywhere and everywhere. The Little Screens and their environments weave a narrative of a peripatetic photographer moving through the landscape of 1960s America, and the melancholy, yet sometimes comic quality of life lived on the road. They provide a look at the 1960s as so many people saw it: beamed into their living rooms. Containing 34 duotone photographs and measuring 10 x 10 inches, the book is bound in photographically illustrated laminated paper covered boards with a crystallogranpic dual-image tipped into the television screen portion of the cover photograph. The book (no dust jacket as issued) is housed in a green Plexiglass slipcase. The book has been boldly signed and numbered (85/100) by Lee Friedlander opposite the first page. The book is in FINE condition with just a hint of wear from the book sliding in and out of the slipcase. The condition of the Plexiglas slipcase is FINE- with very minor surface wear. Images of the actual book will be provided upon request. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 000009
