Synopsis
For more than 20 years, Swedish photographer JH Engström (born 1969) has spent time living and working in Paris, a city that, like New York, has a long photographic pedigree; countless photographers have been inspired by its iconic architecture and busy streets. "Sketch of Paris," however, is hardly a catalog of classic Parisian scenes, offering instead a raw yet lyrical portrayal of the artist's misadventures, loves and random encounters in its streets, bars and artist lofts--an entirely personal Paris. Drawing more from Nan Goldin and Anders Peters than Atget or Henri Cartier-Bresson, Engström brings us on a gritty, no-holds-barred guided tour of life in his adopted city. The book brings together more than 250 color and black-and-white photographs--self-portraits, nudes, portraits of lovers, friends, strangers and the occasional street scene--all shot between 1991 and 2012, tracing a critical time during the development of the artist's own voice and vision.

About the Author
JH Engström spent the early portion of his life and photography career between Sweden and France. After assisting Mario Testino in Paris and Anders Petersen in Stockholm, he received his formal education from Gothenburg University in Gothenburg, Sweden, graduating in 1997. Engström has produced several photobooks, including Trying to Dance (2004), Haunts (2006), CDG/JHE (2008), From Back Home (with Anders Petersen, 2009) and La Résidence (2009). Engström is the recipient of grants from such institutes as the Swedish Art Council, the Swedish Authors’ Foundation, and the Hasselblad Center. In 2005, he was shortlisted for the Deutsche Börse Photography Prize for his book Trying to Dance. He is represented by Galerie VU, Paris, and by GUN Gallery, Stockholm.

Soft cover. Condition: As New. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. Unpaginated. Published in 2013. Retrospective collection of photographs, presented in a scrapbook format as an Artist Book. One of the most beautiful art photography books of our time. The first appearance of the title in the United States. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run by Aperture Foundation as a softcover original only. A brilliant production by J. H. Engstrom: Oversize-volume format. Pictorial softcovers with black cloth overboards and white titles embossed on the spine, as issued. Photographs by J. H. Engstrom. There is no text. Brown cardboard slipcase. Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper in Italy to the highest standards. The reproduction quality is exemplary in every respect. Without DJ, as issued. Presents J. H. Engstrom's "Sketch of Paris". His singularly personal homage to the most photographed city in the world. One of the few photographic projects of our time that capture what we call the Zeitgeist, the raw, contemporary moment. Which makes it unusual because the photographs were taken over a relatively long period of time. What a critic has said about Engstrom's aesthetic and practice applies: "A visual stream-of-consciousness monologue, an ongoing succession of moments that retains an importance of their own, fragments of relentlessly passing time. The impression of looking at memories, rather than documentary images, is heightened by the variety of the photographs" (Martin Jaeggi). "I can only make photographs of what I feel, of what results from my encounters with people. In this regard, my work is completely subjective. At the same time, I am interested in objectivity, in the fact that since you take photographs, you always deal with reality. And in this respect, I am not interested in subjectivity. It's a paradox" (J. H. Engstrom). Includes some of his most arrestingly lyrical and unusual nudes - of himself and others - which is, by now, an Engstrom specialty. An absolute "must-have" title for J. H. Engstrom collectors. This copy is very boldly and beautifully signed in black pen-marker on the front cover by J. H. Engstrom. It is signed directly on the cover itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a contemporary art photography book. This is one few such signed copies of the First Edition/First Printing (American) still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A scarce signed copy thus. Lavishly illustrated with black-and-white and color plates. "Trying To Dance" was selected as one of the greatest photography books in "The Photobook". One of the most brilliant photographers of our time. A fine copy. ISBN 1597112534. Signed by Author. Seller Inventory # 23659
