Soft cover. Condition: As New. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 32 pages. Published in 2023. Exhibition Catalog. The first and only edition. Published in a small and limited print run as a softcover original only. None of the copies was sold commercially. There is no ISBN. The Exhibition Catalog is now rare. 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.
