Synopsis
Dag Alveng's beautiful black and white photographs are a study, as the title suggests, in light. Taken at the Norwegian seashore, these landscapes, seascapes, and family scenes all have something to say about the play of sun and shadow and about the power of light in the Northern summer. These are quiet photographs with the remarkably rich tones that Alveng is known for, and they are exquisitely printed. They have the power to transport us to his idyllic summer, because, as Robert Adams writes, "Dag Alveng's photographs are as peaceful as their subject." This is a photo essay of a summer we would all like to spend.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 100 pages. Published in 2001. Exhibition Monograph. Retrospective collection of photographs. One of the most beautiful art photography books of our time. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. An austerely elegant production by Dag Alveng and Egil Haraldsen: Oversize-volume format. Gray cloth boards with black titles embossed on spine, as issued. Photographs by Dag Alveng. Essays by Robert Adams, Thomas Weski, and Eva Klerck Gange, which are interspersed as "breaks" within the sequence. List of Plates appended at the end. Printed on pristine-white, thick coated 170g Gothic Silk stock paper using Halftone Scanning in Quadrotone Plates by Kristian Gronli in Oslo, Norway to the highest standards. The reproduction quality is outstanding in every respect. In Modernist-design pictorial DJ with titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Published in conjunction with the landmark exhibition of the same name held at the Sprengel Museum Hannover from March through May, 2001. The show travelled on to The Museum of Contemporary Art Oslo from June through September, 2001. Presents Dag Alveng's "Summer Light". A recollection on sublime radiance: Our sun's life-sustaining force in all its iridescent, almost blinding light, and in The Land of Midnight Sun, no less. Once seen, one will never think of summer or sunshine or natural light in quite the same way again. The landscapes are inevitably reminiscent of the work of Robert Adams, slanted with a subtle, delicate, and unmistakable sensuality that is otherwise missing in Adams' (shall we say, more spiritually-oriented) oeuvre. Alveng shows beautiful human faces, the immaculate bodies of grownups and children, naked and lightly dressed - the male nudes are of Dag Alveng himself -, and family get-togethers, all bathed in the glorious Northern Hemisphere light. "The photographs have the power to transport us to his idyllic summer" (Robert Adams). This is nothing less than the record of the dream-summer we would all like to have, and deserve, even just once in our lives. An absolute "must-have" title for Dag Alveng collectors. This copy is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the front free endpaper by Dag Alveng. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a great art photography book. This is one of very few such signed copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A rare signed copy thus. 60 quadrotone plates. Dag Alveng's "Asylum" is widely regarded as one of the greatest art photography books of all time. One of the greatest photographers of our time. A fine collectible copy. ISBN 8249500407. Signed by Author. Seller Inventory # 23386
