Synopsis
The birds are birds as we know them and are birds that cannot be known: they are common and uncommon, whirling and blurred: the birds are dead: the birds are gawking and gawky, tender and woebegone; the birds are dirty and transient and religious and encaged within effigies of themselves; the birds are man-made or they swarm or are migratorily indifferent. The birds hover and soar and loan themselves out for metaphorical exploitation. Very soon, they will fly off the page.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. This is the only boxed, deluxe ,limited edition, online. It contains a silver gelatin print that is housed in a folder, in the box (clamshell). This is copy number7/25, printed on the colophon and signed by the artist. The print Birds have long been used as a metaphor for messengers of the spirit, an association that comes naturally for a creature that exists so comfortably between earth and the heavens. Under the gaze of one of Mexico¿s greatest photographers, they take on an added mystery that is enhanced by constant reminders of their frailty. Iturbide¿s magnificent work is solidly rooted in the world which surrounds us, yet is tinged by the fantastical spirituality of a Latin American vision. Signed by Author(s). Seller Inventory # 000115
