Hardbound. Condition: NF. Black wraps with embossed lettering, bw illustrated DJ, 256 pp, From the publisher: This book chronicles the evolution of a largely self-taught photographer who, fresh from art school, enlisted in the Navy in 1942 and spent four years capturing compelling, memorable images from the Second World War. Mil…ler's work always contained a peculiar empathy, whether he was photographing American servicemen, Italian street urchins, or Japanese survivors of the atomic bomb, and that ethos extends to his subsequent landmark studies of the famous Bronzeville neighborhood in postwar Chicago and of the daily lives of an American family's children.

Published on the occasion of the landmark exhibition of the same name held at Stephen Daiter Gallery Chicago from March 7 through May 24, 2014. Presents "Andre Kertesz: 'Raison d'Etre': Photographs From The Concerned Photographer Exhibitions 1967-69". The fifth, and most comprehensive, publication by Stephen Daiter Gallery on the photographic art and achievement of Andre Kertesz. His participation in the eponymous - and eleemosynary: The Concerned Photographer shows helped establish the International Center for Photography (ICP) - exhibitions was sweet confirmation of the photographer's stature as one of the greatest photographers of the time. By the time Kertesz immigrated to the United States in 1937, he was already a well-known artist/photographer in Europe, and (rightly) expected to be greeted with the critical acclaim and financial success that a figure of his stature deserved. Instead, his work was completely ignored. Kertesz was forced to eke out a living by doing commercial work for House & Garden Magazine. It was not until the prescient John Szarkowski gave him a one-man show at the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) in 1964, a posthumous-like, twenty-seven years later, that he finally achieved the recognition that he enjoys to this day. There are critics, scholars, dealers, and collectors who consider Kertesz to be the greatest photographer of the 20th century. Full stop. "The camera is my tool through which I try to give a reason to everything and to every happening around me. Every subject has a rhythm. To feel this rhythm is the raison d'etre" (Andre Kertesz). All great art compels us to slow down, tarry, take our time; transports us to another temporal reality and immerses us in it, which Andre Kertesz's best photographs do. An absolute "must-have" title for Andre Kertesz collectors. This title is a contemporary art photography classic. This is one of few copies of the Exhibition Catalog still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: This Exhibition Catalog was not sold to the public. It was given as a keepsake/souvenir to Andre Kertesz print collectors only. A scarce copy thus. 97 plates. Andre Kertesz's "Day of Paris" was selected as one of the greatest photography books in "The Photobook". One of the greatest photographers of the 20th century. A fine copy.

They are among the most sensuous and elegant female nude photographs ever taken in the medium's history.

Published on the occasion of the exhibition of the same name held at the Stephen Daiter Gallery Chicago from May through July, 2019. Presents Marvin E. Newman's "On The Avenues". Some of the finest and most representative images by the one photographer who mastered the aesthetics and practice of two radically different schools of art photography: The Photo League (its documentary, moral humanism) and the Institute of Design (its Bauhaus-principled, experimental formalism). Newman, who received the very first Master's Degree from ID, "embodies the best characteristics of these institutions: A compassion for his human subjects and an exceptional sense of space and design in his experimental photographs" (Stephen Daiter). "Celebrates Newman's career with over forty vintage black-and-white and color pieces. Features experimental images of inverted sidewalk shadows and manhole covers as well as documentary work from his time in Chicago and upon his return to New York. On view are two more poetic Series from his travels in 1960, of Paris prostitutes and of a small Alaskan village" (Publisher's blurb). 2019 was a Milestone Year for the photographer: It marked the 20th year of his inaugural exhibition at Stephen Daiter Gallery, the 70th year since he arrived at the Institute of Design, and the 100th-Year Anniversary of the founding of Bauhaus in Germany (the latter leading to major retrospectives, newly published books in Europe and the United States, and full-fledged profiles in the New York Times and New Yorker Magazine).

Published on the occasion of the exhibition of the same name held at the Stephen Daiter Gallery Chicago from May 5 through July 29, 2017. Re-presents Susan Meiselas' "Nicaragua: '78-79". A dazzling and profoundly moving selection of the photographer's cinematic coverage of the Nicaraguan Revolution: Full-page color photographs that tell their compelling and dramatic story solely through still images. "An extraordinary narrative of a nation in turmoil. Traces the evolution of the popular resistance that led to the insurrection, culminating with the triumph of the Sandinista Revolution in 1979" (Publisher's blurb). A graduate of Harvard University, Susan Meiselas taught at various public schools before joining The Magnum Agency in 1976. She burst into national and international prominence with her very first book, "Carnival Strippers", a collection of black-and-white photographs of professional strippers in New England states. Her shift to color represents an achievement of the first rank in the history of photojournalism. Indeed, very few have used color to capture spontaneous events with such sensitivity, beauty, and overwhelming power: "Color photographs of this kind inevitably give way to gore or to the aestheticization of violence. Here, instead, we have enormous control, a sense of the everyday, and a vitality rooted in an active community" (John Berger). An absolute "must-have" title for Susan Meiselas collectors. This title is a contemporary art photography classic. As far as we know, this is the only copy of the Exhibition Catalog available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: This is a copy of the Exhibition Catalog, which reproduces the all-new prints from Susan Meiselas' "Nicaragua" sequence. Should NOT be confused with the book of the same title. Acquired in their entirety by a major collector, the reproductions of the prints are superior in terms of production values to the original book, making this Catalog eminently collectible for completists. A scarce copy thus. 18 color plates. One of the most brilliant photographers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER SUSAN MEISELAS TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). no.

Published on the occasion of the fund-raiser exhibition held at the Stephen Daiter Gallery in July, 2012. Presents "Artists For Obama: Exhibition Sale And Auction To Support The Re-Election of President Barack Obama". Fundraiser by artists for the beloved President. Thirty-six art and photographic works are shown in the catalog out of almost 100 pieces that were donated by artists, photographers, Chicago galleries, dealers, and collectors to raise funds for President Obama's re-election campaign versus Mitt Romney. All of the proceeds were given to President Obama's campaign. Aside from donating works, Stephen Daiter Gallery and other (passionate) volunteers donated their space, time, and effort so no one was paid (as the people who work for political campaigns or charitable causes/foundations are). Artists often make political statements. But with few exceptions, they seldom take an explicitly partisan stand. This was one such partisan issue that united numerous artists, whose donation of their work amounted to making a statement and taking a stand. The artists are a Who's Who of contemporary art and photography, too numerous to mention here. They include foreign artists with deep ties to America such as the late great Yasuhiro Ishimoto, among many others. Two examples: The cover shows a formal portrait of President Obama by Dawoud Bey. And there is a stunning black-and-white photograph by Marc PoKempner that deserves to be better-known: "Alley Ball, 1995", which shows a very young (and completely unknown) Obama playing basketball with a group of kids during his first campaign, as a candidate for the Illinois Legislature, more than ten years before he rose to national prominence and eventually, the Presidency. An absolute "must-have" collectible, not just memorabilia, item for Barack Obama, Dawoud Bey, and Marc PoKempner collectors. This title is now collectible. As far as we know, this is the only copy of the Exhibition/Auction available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright.

Presents "Leon Levinstein: That's Where The Life Is". Some of his finest and most representative images. One of the best photographers of the "Chicago School", Levinstein is much better-known in Europe than in the United States. A rigorous formalist, his photographs capture American life in a way that is singularly his own: Levinstein was a Master of capturing not just the physical "moves", but the very pulse and natural rhythm of the subjects he photographed. Children and adults walk, run, play, swing, and sway - and also pause, stop, and remain still - beautifully in Levinstein's photographs. Hence the aptness of Helen Gee's essay, "That's Where The Life Is". Annie Leibovitz has expressed profound admiration for Levinstein's "moving" pictures, commenting that the technique required was something she herself did not possess. An absolute "must-have" title for Leon Levinstein collectors. This title is a contemporary art photography classic.

Published on the occasion of the exhibition of the same name held at the Stephen Daiter Gallery Chicago in 2002. Presents Marvin E. Newman's "The Face of Sport". Some of the photographer's finest and most representative images. One of the toughest photographic projects anyone could possibly undertake, the appeal of taking photographs of athletes in action is that it allows the photographer to show how a still medium can capture and communicate, convincingly and compellingly, movement, motion, and rhythm. Marvin E. Newman's classic, "Uppercut, Blurred Motion, 1960", the photograph on the cover, is a great example of how one feels the force, energy, and vitality of movement, a virtual ballet. The British Renaissance Man, Jonathan Miller, devoted a significant portion of his book, "On Reflection", to the way our eyes are trained to see, not just imagine, movement in art and photography, and ascribes the dramatic changes to our way of seeing to the technical as well as creative advances of photography. An absolute "must-have" title for Marvin E. Newman collectors. This title is a contemporary art photography classic.

Introduction by the photography expert and scholar Keith F. Davis. Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper in the United States to the highest standards. Without DJ, as issued. Published on the occasion of the exhibition of the same name held at the Stephen Daiter Gallery in Chicago from March 1 to April 20, 2002. Presents, for the very first time, Joseph Sterling's "Age of Adolescence". Selections from the great photographer's breakthrough Series. Its debut release, preceding the book by a full year, it is one of the best photographic records of The American Teen-ager. "This Age sparkles with the promise of what's to come, hides its insecurities under the cover of bravado, and trembles with excitement about the here and now. From 1959 to 1964 (arguably the Adolescence of America itself), Joseph Sterling photographed teenagers, hanging out after school, at drive-ins, in fast cars. As Sterling himself defined it, 'the world of the adolescent is totally interlaced within itself and incapable of freeing itself. It whirls, rolls, and engulfs what it is allowed to engulf' "(Publisher's blurb). The "Age of Adolescence" shows American kids to be both playful and serious, friendly and menacing, cheerful and pensive. Some images anticipate the work of many contemporary photographers without their necessarily being aware of it. Their remarkable simplicity and effortless grace have re-appeared in so many images of young people ever since. Still, few photographs have the timeless appeal as Joseph Sterling's work. Closely identified with the Institute of Design (ID), Sterling has done work characterized by the technical perfection and formal experimentation identified with the Bauhaus-inspired Institute. Here, he lets go, and the result is simply wonderful. Sadly, the book itself was also the last published by Sterling, who died unexpectedly on November 12, 2010. An absolute "must-have" title for Joseph Sterling collectors. This title is a contemporary art photography classic. This is one of few copies of the Exhibition Catalog still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce copy thus. Lavishly illustrated with duotone plates. One of the finest American photographers of our time. A fine copy.

Published on the occasion of the exhibition of the same name held at the Stephen Daiter Gallery Chicago in 2006. Presents "Lee Balterman's Chicago". Some of the finest and most representative images of the city, by one of its most devoted photographic chroniclers. Most photographers come and go; peripatetic restlessness characterizes their work, and it is inherent to their sensibility and oeuvre. But there are a few photographers who stay in one particular place, often a great city, and are identified with it because they choose to do the opposite: Chronicle their beloved city in loving detail. Balterman proudly considered himself a Chicago photographer (just as Helen Levitt was New York City's visual poet), and his subject is memorably summed up by a great writer: "There is an open and raw beauty about that city that seems either to kill or endow one with the spirit of life" (Richard Wright). Lee Balterman died on March 16, 2012 at the age of 92. An absolute "must-have" title for Lee Balterman collectors. This title is a contemporary art photography classic.

Published on the occasion of the landmark exhibition of the same name held at the Stephen Daiter Gallery Chicago from September 5 through November 1, 2003. Presents "Josef Breitenbach: Munich, Paris, New York". A delectable sampling of the great photographer's work. Breitenbach lived a peripatetic life. Born in Germany, he was educated in Munich and began his career there. The rise of the Nazis forced him, a Jew, to flee to Paris, where he eked out a living taking studio portraits. His portraits of such figures as James Joyce, Max Ernst, and Bertolt Brecht were taken during this brief, tumultuous period. With the ascension of the Vichy Government, Breitenbach had to flee again, this time just barely making it to the United States, where he spent the rest of his life. Josef Breitenbach was the classic Modernist case: A tough-minded, serious, soulful artist whose work was ahead of its time even as he absorbed whatever he found useful among the Movements swirling around him. He is now considered a major forerunner of Andy Warhol in his application of color to black-and-white photographs through toning and bromoil transfer. His Bauhaus-inspired work, especially the photograms (such as "Bird, New York, 1948") are masterpieces that have all the color, warmth, and detail of a painting combined with the clarity, precision, and fluidity of a photograph. Every picture in this Exhibition Catalog is museum-quality, and it is nothing less than a blessing that they have been discovered at last for what they are: The work of a great artist, not just a great photographer. An absolute "must-have" title for Josef Breitenbach collectors. This title is a contemporary art photography classic. This is one of few copies of the Exhibition Catalog still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce copy thus. 28 plates. One of the greatest artist/photographers of the 20th century. A fine copy.

Some of the finest and most representative images by the Chicago photographer, who deserves a much wider national and international audience.

He photographed, among other things, the inner-city projects of Chicago, Mexico, the Republican National Convention in 1952, and various celebrities and popular culture figures. The breadth of his interests is testimony to his lifelong curiosity and his commitment to social justice, a great photographer with a sociologist's wisdom, an aesthete's eye, and a moralist's conscience. "He had unshakable faith in humanity and believed that people should be able to go anywhere without fear or hesitation" (Tim Samuelson). An absolute "must-have" title for Bob Natkin collectors.

A representative sampling of his work, now regarded as among the most philosophical, sensuous, and challenging the photographic world has ever seen. "Reality for me is the known. Existence is the unknown. For no one has created existence. I experience reality. I believe in existence. Its signals of light and sound as well as all its other signals assail my senses.

Published on the occasion of the exhibition of the same name held at the Stephen Daiter Gallery Chicago from November 7, 2003 through January 3, 2004. Presents Robert Donald Erickson's "The Lens of The Total Designer". Some of the photographer's most enduring, most arresting, and most austerely beautiful work. Robert Donald Erickson is best-known as the closest protege of Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, the founder of the Institute of Design, the finest photography school ever established in the United States. Erickson was a true Renaissance Man who was a Master of all trades: Nature, science, mathematics, music, art, and foreign languages. He heard about what Moholy-Nagy was doing with photography and decided to see for himself. As he describes it in his notes, it was the turning point of his life. While he continued to create sculptures, paintings, drawings, and strikingly original designs for children's toys, furniture, and jewelry, "the camera has replaced the sketch pencil in my own visual search for the beautiful" (Robert Donald Erickson). Erickson became the very first to graduate with a Master's Degree from the Institute of Design and was one of its most ardent proponents. Hollywood-handsome and charismatic, he taught photography to anyone who cared for his rigorous (but always stimulating) classes: Among his students were Moholy-Nagy's own daughters, Hattula and Claudia, as well as many of today's most established photographers, who have become teachers to the new generation of aspiring art photographers. He also kept taking photographs all his life, assisted by his patient wife, whom he dragged late at night to photograph Chicago's nocturnal landscape, searching for the proper angles and lighting to capture something fresh and original about the mundane Merchandise Mart or the bridges over the Chicago River. After Moholy-Nagy's death, Erickson went through a period of depression. Part of his entire sensibility was that he was always the student par excellence, who needed a mentor even though he had long since found his own distinctive voice and style. He eventually established close ties with the great photographers Nathan Lerner and Harry Callahan as well as visionary teacher/thinkers like Buckminster Fuller and Bruno Bettelheim. The composer Arnold Schoenberg was treated to a private recital of his music (Erickson had a beautiful voice and considered a career in music) and became a lifelong friend. An absolute "must-have" title for Robert Donald Erickson collectors. This title is a contemporary art photography classic. This is one of few copies of the Exhibition Catalog still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A scarce copy thus. 30 tritone plates.

Ribbed brown cloth boards with Polaroid reproduction pasted on the recessed center and gilt titles embossed on the cover and spine, as issued. Photographs by Barbara Crane. Text by Barbara Hitchcock. Printed on thick, glossy stock paper in the United States to the highest standards. The reproduction quality is exemplary in every respect. Without DJ, as issued. Published on the occasion of the landmark retrospective exhibition held at the Stephen Daiter Gallery Chicago in November and December, 2009. Presents "Private Views: Polaroids by Barbara Crane". All taken in Chicago between 1980 and 1984, at various annual summer festivals that continue to be celebrated to this day. Since each photograph is one-of-a-kind, the whole lot can only be viewed through this volume, where they are reproduced at actual size. Barbara Crane has stated that her lifelong goal as a photographer has been to "attempt to eradicate previous habits of seeing and thinking, to keep searching for what is visually new while always hoping that a fusion of form and content will take place" (Barbara Crane). Her Polaroids "offer an intense, sun-drenched, sweat-glistening example of one such fusion, in which the social document is combined with extreme close-ups, tight cropping, and mixed lighting for maximum impact. Her technique also serves to bring out the sheen of flesh photographed at close quarters under a hot summer sun. The effect is mesmerizing, creating a palpable sensuality from image to image, an incredible document not of a particular event or personality but of something more intangible: The public expression of euphoria" (Barbara Hitchcock). Crane is identified with the Institute of Design and its Bauhaus aesthetics. In these Polaroids, Barbara Crane deploys the same rigor, simplicity, and functionality to create a genuinely sensual, even erotic, experience, the fulfillment in its own distinctive way of her visionary aims. Indefatigable until the end, Barbara Crane died on August 7, 2019 at the age of 91. An absolute "must-have" title for Barbara Crane collectors. This copy is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed in black pen-marker on the title page by Barbara Crane. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a contemporary art photography classic. This is one of 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. 105 color plates. One of the finest American photographers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER BARBARA CRANE TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 1597110965. Signed by Author.

Presents "Wayne F. Miller: Photographs 1942-1958". The stunning visual life-project of Wayne Forest Miller. "Operating as a combat photographer under his own orders, and answerable only to Captain Edward Steichen, United States Navy, Lieutenant Miller photographed everything of interest that he encountered, from boredom to horror. Those images document an integral part of the American wartime experience and are secured in the National Archives in Washington DC. What set Miller's work apart from many other war photographers was a peculiar empathy, whether creating images of our own soldiers or Japanese survivors of the atomic bomb. He strove to 'climb inside those people, and look through their eyes'. That ethos is present in all of Miller's subsequent work, from his unique and comprehensive study (supported by two Guggenheim Grants) of the citizens of the Bronzeville neighborhood of postwar Chicago to his equally ground-breaking documentation a decade later of the daily life of an American family. Takes us to the midpoint of the career of one of the country's most important visual artists and ends with his tremendously successful series that came to be published as 'The World Is Young' " (Publisher's blurb). Miller was Edward Steichen's Assistant on "The Family of Man" Exhibition, the single most influential photographic exhibition of the 20th century, which featured some of his own images. Steichen would have used even more of Miller's work were it not for his direct involvement in the landmark project. An absolute "must-have" title for Wayne F. Miller collectors. This title is a contemporary photography classic. This is one of few copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A scarce copy thus.

An austerely elegant production by Stephen Daiter Gallery: Regular-sized volume format. Pictorial softcovers, as issued. Photographs and text by Dawoud Bey. Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper in the United States to the highest standards. The reproduction quality is exemplary in every respect. Without DJ, as issued. Published on the occasion of the exhibition of the same name held at Paris Photo from November 9 through 12, 2023. Presents Dawoud Bey's "Stony The Road". The third and final sequence of his American Slavery Project. It began with "Night Coming Tenderly, Black" and was followed by "In This Here Place". The present 16-plate sequence revisits the Virginia Slave Trail, which led to the hub of the vast slavery trade in Richmond, Virginia, where African men, women, and kids, held in animal cages, were transported, then sold off at auctions to their eventual white owners. Today, African-Americans (and whites) prefer to remember the "Happy Ending": The Underground Railroad, in sustained meditations in art, literature, music, and photography, because that was about heroic struggle, liberation, and freedom. The Virginia Slave Trail is - not just about - pure evil, an ineradicable stain in American history. In these ironically lyrical, serenely beautiful images of the James River and the Virginia Wild, Dawoud Bey reminds - and refuses to make us forget - where the slaves LITERALLY first set foot on American soil. The title comes from James Weldon Johnson's' great poem, "Lift Every Voice And Sing": "Stony the road we trod / bitter the chastening rod". Taken together, "Night Coming Tenderly, Black", "In This Here Place", and "Stony The Road", constitute a major American photographic achievement of our time. An absolute "must-have" title for Dawoud Bey collectors. This title is a contemporary art photography classic. As far as we know, this is the only copy of the Exhibition Catalog available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: This is neither a full-fledged book nor a monograph. But it is an indispensable sequence in Bey's oeuvre, presented in its 16-plate entirety, beautifully produced. A rare copy thus. 16 Plates. One of the most brilliant American photographers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER DAWOUD BEY TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). no.

The "daylight" sequel-sequence to his ground-breaking "Night Coming Tenderly, Black" Series (on the Underground Railroad). Photographs of what remains today of the slave plantations in Louisiana: Exquisitely produced, brightly-lit, and powerful landscape photographs. The title comes from Toni Morrison's "Beloved". In a feat of artistic poise, the seemingly sunny photographs belie their somber subject - without overstating the latter, as is often the case when it comes to American slavery. It is the brilliant continuation of Dawoud Bey's career retrospective, "Seeing Deeply", released in September 2018. He subsequently continued the project with "In This Here Place" (2022), a stunning, contrapuntal recollection of day: Remnants of the earliest Louisiana slave plantations, shot in searing daylight. The final sequence, "Stony The Road" (2023), completes the project, presented at Paris Photo in 2023. Taken together, "Night Coming Tenderly, Black", "In This Here Place ", and "Stony The Road", constitute a major American photographic achievement of our time.

Newman's 90th Birthday and Morris Engel's Centenary Year in 2018 (Engel died in 2005 at the age of 87). Presents "Noted Photos: A Collection of Vintage Photographs From The Photo League". The gallery's third publication on the latter, preceded by the landmark "This Was The Photo League" (2001) and "The Photo League At 75" (2010). Some of the finest and most representative images of The Photo League by such artists as Berenice Abbott, Lewis Hine, Marion Palfi as well as Marvin E. Newman and Morris Engel, among many others. Over the years, Stephen Daiter Gallery Chicago patiently collected these unjustly forgotten vintage prints and then facilitated their becoming The Permanent Collection of the Columbus Museum of Art. The initial acquisition of 170 prints has grown to more than 250 as of 2010. Began in 1936 to document the Great Depression, the League lasted for three decades, inspired by its belief in the power of photography to influence and effect social change by presenting "a true image of the world as it is". It was hounded for the same reason during the McCarthy-era witch hunt, its eventual demise sealed by the ensuing Cold War. But the photographs live on as they "resonate not only as stories from the past but also as striking works of art that transcend the written record. They are potent reminders that many of the issues depicted burden our world today" (Catherine Evans). An absolute "must-have" title for Photo League collectors. This Memorial Gallery Catalog is now collectible. Featuring some of the finest and most representative images of The Photo League by such artists as Berenice Abbott, Lewis Hine, Marion Palfi as well as Marvin E. Newman and Morris Engel, this is the gallery's third publication, preceded by the landmark "This Was The Photo League" (2001) and "The Photo League At 75" (2010).

Classic photographs by Berenice Abbott, Helen Levitt, Ralph Eugene Meatyard, Eugene Richards, Sabine Weiss, Lou Stoumen, Louis Stettner, Garry Winogrand, Duane Michals, Ruth Orkin, Leon Levinstein, and Margaret Bourke-White, among others, give a pretty good idea of the world-class quality - and significance - of the 750 photographs that John Cleary amassed over decades of collecting he devoted single-mindedly to children, that most appealing and heartbreaking of images (therefore prone to sentimentality and bathos). As these selections show, Cleary was well aware of the pitfalls, collected with discriminating taste and with an eye, as it were, for their genuine value to posterity. This is only the second memorial book-tribute to John Cleary and his legendary "Kid Collection". "Where You Gonna Get Another One: Photographs From The John Cleary Kid Collection", privately published in a Limited Edition of 300 copies in 2008, promptly vanished, and is now impossible to find.

Published on the occasion of the landmark exhibition of the same name held at the Stephen Daiter Gallery Chicago from September 13 through October 26, 2002, and in collaboration with Deborah Bell Photographs New York. Presents "John Cohen: The Shape of Survival". The photographer's "Peruvian Pilgrimage" photographs, taken between 1956 and 1957. For Cohen, they are living testaments, almost fifty years later, of the Peruvian people's resilience and grit amid the harsh terrain of the Peruvian landscape. Aside from being one of the most remarkable American photographers of our time, John Cohen is also a teacher, a world-class scholar of primitive art, and a Renaissance Man who has composed music and made films. Lest that make him sound overly cerebral, the exact opposite is true: His photographs are rife with life and natural beauty. Cohen's photographic oeuvre was finally collected in a book, "There Is No Eye" (2001). This is, in effect, its companion volume, and the only body of work comparable to it is Robert Frank's. An absolute "must-have" title for John Cohen collectors. This title is a contemporary art photography classic. This is one of few copies of the Exhibition Catalog still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A scarce copy thus. 27 duotone plates.

Published on the occasion of the photographer's centenary exhibition held at the Stephen Daiter Gallery Chicago from May 2 through June 28, 2003 in conjunction with the Galerie Francoise Paviot Paris, where the show travelled on in November 2003. Presents "Aaron Siskind: Order With The Tensions Continuing". Abstract photographs from the late 1940's to the early 1960's by the one photographer who is credited with having brought photography into the 20th century. The title comes from one of Aaron Siskind's most celebrated works. Siskind started out as a documentary photographer and was one of the finest photographers associated with The Photo League, which aimed to marry street and art photography with social concerns and moral conscience. Siskind's book during his early period, "Harlem Document", is now considered a classic. It is also widely acknowledged, however, that his most important artistic output resulted from his crucial shift to Abstract Expressionism. The Abstract Expressionists considered Siskind's abstract photographs not only to be on the same level as their work in the traditional media (primarily, painting). Precisely because Siskind continued to work in photography, he introduced a whole new dimension to the Movement that they themselves did not conceive possible, and Siskind consequently influenced them as much as they influenced him. These photographs are now between 40 and 60 years old, but they have lost none of their cutting-edge vitality, breadth of imagination, and formal elegance. They are "at once sensual, intellectual, and spiritual, and provide a powerful expression of his artistic vision" (Stephen Daiter). An absolute "must-have" title for Aaron Siskind collectors. This title is a contemporary art photography classic. This is one of few copies of the Exhibition Catalog still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A scarce copy thus. 21 tonally rich reproductions from vintage photographs. "Aaron Siskind Photographs" was selected as one of the greatest photography books in "The Photobook". One of the greatest artist/photographers of the 20th century. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER AARON SISKIND TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). no.
