(FRIEDLANDER, LEE). Friedlander, Maria. San Francisco: Fraenkel Gallery, 2004. First Edition. Square 4to. Pictorial Boards. Photography Monograph. Fine/No Jacket - As Issued. np, 192 duotone illustrations. Designed by Catherine Mills. "Like most fathers, Lee Friedlander has made photographs of his wife and children throughout their lives together. Unlike most fathers, Friedlander happens to be one of the greatest living photographers. In "Family", Friedlander departs from his well-known terrain of the open road and the city street, focusing instead on his wife, Maria, his children and (later) his grandchildren. The result is an intimate narrative of a family's complex life, from 1958 to the present. The subjects are natural and unaffected in front of the ever-present lens, and the pictures make it clear that Friedlander's camera was a constant presence in the home, a natural extension of the artist himself. Over and over Friedlander recognized in an instant things that were precious and universal, yet specific to his own situation. Friedlander has done us a great honor by publishing these images. The inventive design of "Family" enhances the integrity of Friedlander's family album". A most handsome example. 1-881337-18-9 Inventory Number: 019983

According to Chris Pichler, Nazraeli Press planned to produce a deluxe boxed edition of one hundred and forty-four copies with an ISBN separate from the trade edition - each retailing for nine hundred and fifty dollars and containing a single unique photograph from the one hundred and forty-four images in the book. Ten clamshell boxes were fabricated in Japan, and John Gossage agreed to produce and supply the prints as orders were received. Unfortunately, the first two copies ordered were returned to Nazraeli by the purchasers who objected to Mr. Gossage's insistence on splashing a few drops of coffee on the mat of each of the original prints as an artistic gesture, and the entire project was then scrapped. Only between three and five vintage completed copies of this near-unique edition exist. A most handsome example of the exceedingly uncommon unnumbered deluxe edition BOLDLY SIGNED by John Gossage in black ink on the first preliminary housed in the publisher's debossed and silkscreened black clamshell box, as issued.

First Edition 1/100 Deluxe. 4to. 1/4 Leather Over Boards. Artist Monograph. Very Good/No Jacket - As Issued. 128pp, 104 b&w and 8 color illustrations. Designed by Joseph Simon. With a chronology, exhibition history and bibliography. This is the significant monograph on the celebrated American Social Realist artist William Gropper published in conjunction with a 1968 touring retrospective exhibition circulated by the Joe and Emily Lowe Art Gallery of the University of Miami. It presents a comprehensive selection of over forty years of the artist's figurative portraits of the world's disenfranchised poor and working classes contrasted with their powerful employers and oppressors. A handsome example of the exceedingly uncommon ultra-deluxe edition bound in one-quarter blue leather-over-boards for the use of the artist housed in a blue paper-over-boards slipcase limited to one hundred copies with the 8 ½ x 10 ½" black and white lithograph entitled "Grandfather" NUMBERED (84/100) AND SIGNED "Gropper." in pencil along the bottom margin of the recto along with the publisher's limitation slip laid in, as issued. The gilt-stamped leather spine bears just a bit of sunning and spotting along with a slight nick to both the heel and crown. The slipcase shows some mild soiling and age-toning along with an inch-long separation to the joint at the bottom edge. It has been priced accordingly. This is separate and distinct from the editions issued in a yellow paper-over-boards slipcase made for sale by the Joe and Emily Lowe Art Gallery. LC 68-18437 Inventory Number: 024670

(GURSKY, ANDREAS) (DUBUISSON, JEAN). Gursky, Andreas, Hans Irrek & Ursula Trubenbach. Frankfurt am Main & Stuttgart, GERMANY: Portikus & Oktagon Verlag, 1995. First Edition. Oblong Folio. Wrappers in Printed Box. Photography Monograph. Near Fine/No Jacket - As Issued. np (40 + 32 + 6pp), 20 color and 10 b&w illustrations. Text in German. Designed by Kuhle und Mozer. Published in conjunction with a 1995 exhibition at Portikus Frankfurt am Main, this elegant, ambitiously designed, oversized publication is devoted to Andreas Gursky's monumental photograph of architect Jean Dubuisson's quarter-mile long Montparnasse housing block. A single 10 ¼ x 18 ¾" color reproduction on heavy stock is laid into a silver folder that bears the names of the more than seven hundred and fifty families inhabiting the massive housing project. This is accompanied by two booklets in silver wrappers: "Texte" - which contains an essay by Hans Irrek as well as interviews with Dubuisson and three Montparnasse dwellers, and "Images" - which reproduces grainy full page voyeuristic blown-up details of interiors of the individual apartments. These three printed components are housed in a shallow printed cardboard box. The interior contents are all in Near Fine condition with no notable flaws. The matte black paper-covered lower portion of the box along with the silver lid show some light overall wear, scuffs and minor abrasions, but no splits or tears to the corners as one typically sees. Due to its silver paper and fragile construction "Montparnasse" (cited on page 275 of Martin Parr and Gerry Badger's "The Photobook: A History Volume II") rarely turns up in beautiful condition, but this is truly a most handsome example of this uncommon item that looks far nicer in hand than it describes. 3-89611-003-9 Inventory Number: 020400
