Synopsis
Jonathan Anderson and Edwin Low have worked as the photographic team of Anderson & Low since 1990. Based in London, the two met while sharing a darkroom and have since collaborated on a broad range of photographic projects encompassing portraiture, architecture, and nudes. Recently their work has focused on various aspects of sport and the lives of athletes. We are pleased to release simultaneously two books, available separately or as a boxed set. Release of the books coincides with a major exhibition of the Athletes photographs at the National Portrait Gallery in London, scheduled for February 2002. Athletes features photographs taken during the three years prior to the 2000 Olympics in Sydney. Athletes from many countries and various sports are included. Taken as a whole, these images meld into a single reflection of athletics and sport - a dynamic portrait replete with the beauty, toil, and determination of some of the world s finest young athletes as they strive to achieve their Olympic dream. Photographs of the National Danish Gymnastic Team are featured in Gymnasts. This series of nudes emphasizes the beauty and grace of these athletes as they assume classical poses, work through routines, or seemingly defy gravity in aerial photographs.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 192 pages. Published in 2002. Collection of toned black-and-white photographs. The first and only appearance of the titles as a Combined Edition. Published as a Limited Slipcased Edition in a small and limited print run of 2000 copies as hardcover originals only. Precedes and should not be confused with the regular trade editions, which were released subsequently and separately. The Limited Slipcased Edition is now rare. An austerely elegant production by Jack Woody: Oversize-volume format. Pictorial hard boards with titles on spine, as issued. Photographs by Jonathan Anderson and Edwin Low. Two separate volumes encased in one slipcase. The first volume is called "Athletes". The second, "Gymnasts". The slipcase is in black cloth with gilt titles embossed on spine. Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper to the highest standards. In pictorial DJ's, as issued. Published on the occasion of the landmark exhibition of the same name held at the National Portrait Gallery in London in 2002. Presents Jonathan Anderson & Edwin Low's "Athletes & Gymnasts". The most magical collaboration thus far between the two photographers who have worked together as the photographic team of Anderson & Low since 1990. Based in London, the two met while sharing a darkroom and have since collaborated on a broad range of photographic projects encompassing portraiture, architecture, and male nudes. Recently, their work has focussed on various aspects of sports and the lives of athletes. "Athletes" features photographs taken during the three years prior to the 2000 Olympics in Sydney. The photographers attempted to photograph an athlete from virtually every country that participated in the Olympics. The result are some of the most spectacular and most memorable images ever taken on the subject. The shot of a swimmer proudly standing on the floor of a swimming pool evokes every human being's desire to be "at home" in the water as much as on solid ground. "Gymnasts" features photographs of the incomparable National Danish Gymnastic Team. Every shot shows the team of male gymnasts nude, emphasizing the beauty, power, and grace of these athletes as they assume Greek-Classical poses, work through routines, and defy gravity in breathtaking "aerial" photographs. The eroticism is subdued yet unmistakable, and therefore all the more powerful. An absolute "must-have" title for Anderson & Low collectors. This copy of the Combined Edition of "Athletes & Gymnasts" is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the Back Colophon Page of both volumes by Jonathan Anderson and Edwin Low. It is signed directly on the pages themselves, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a contemporary art photography classic. As far as we know, this is the only such double-signed copy of the Limited Slipcased Edition available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Anderson & Low did NOT sign most copies of the books. The two books were subsequently sold separately, making the Combined Edition set very special indeed. A rare signed set thus. 70 duotone plates. Two of the most brilliant photographers of our time. A fine collectible set. ISBN 1931885044. Signed by Author. Seller Inventory # 4966
