(GOLDBERG, JIM). Goldberg, Jim. Gottingen, GERMANY: Steidl, 2013. First New and Revised Edition. 4to. Cloth in Pictorial Dust Jacket. Photography Monograph. As New/As New. "From 1977 to 1985, Jim Goldberg photographed the wealthy and destitute of San Francisco, creating a visual document that has since become a landmark work. Through the combination of text and photographs, "Rich and Poor"'s mass appeal was instantly recognizable. In 1984 the series was exhibited alongside Robert Adams and Joel Sternfeld in the "Three Americans" exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art in New York, and was published the following year by Random House. Out of print since 1985, "Rich and Poor" has been completely redesigned and expanded by the artist for this Steidl edition. Available for the first time in hardcover, it builds upon the classic combination of photographs and handwriting and adds a surplus of vintage material and contemporary photographs that have never been published or exhibited. The photographs in "Rich and Poor" constitute a gripping portrait of America during the 1970s and 80s that remains just as relevant today." A brand new, most handsome example of the greatly revised and expanded 2013 Steidl hardbound edition of this gem (whose 1985 first edition is cited on pages 250-251 of "The Book of 101 Books" and page 231 of Fred Ritchin and Carole Naggar's "Magnum Photobook: A Catalogue Raisonné") additionally BOLDLY SIGNED AND DATED "Jim Goldberg / 2014" WITH A TAPED DOWN PHOTOGRAPH INSCRIBED "Bapdapa - 65" in blue marker and hand-bordered in gold ink on the title page by the Magnum photographer at our shop. 3-86930-688-2 Inventory Number: 026389
