(SISKIND, AARON). Siskind, Aaron. Introduction by Harold Rosenberg. New York: Horizon Press, 1959. First Edition. 4to. Cloth in Pictorial Dust Jacket. Photography Monograph. Very Good/Good. np (112pp), 50 b&w illustrations. Designed by Ivan Chermayeff. Spectacularly designed and beautifully printed, this 1959 hardbound publication was the very first comprehensive monograph on the esteemed late Chicago-based photographer Aaron Siskind. An internally bright, most handsome example of this uncommon item whose striking silver-gilt front cover and spine lettering are still fresh showing some sunning along with abrading to the tip of the bottom edge of the rear cover. The book's brittle dust jacket is present, though noticeably creased, chipped, and torn - with some minor paper loss - primarily along the extremities. It has been priced accordingly. PLEASE NOTE: Additional shipping costs are required for this item beyond our standard rates due to its weight and value - we will inform you of the applicable amount at time of purchase.
