Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. Walther Konig, Koln (2008). First Edition. First printing. Harbound New/New. A pristine unopened copy. Language: English 8.9 x 6.4 x 1.2 inches. Black and white and color photography. A former neighbor, Roman Buxbaum, discovered Tichy's hidden work in the 1980s and has been documenting and collecting it ever since. In 2004, the esteemed international curator Harald Szeemann mounted the first solo exhibition of the nearly 80-year-old artist. That same year, Tichy was given the Rencontres d'Arles Photographie Discovery Award and the Kunsthaus Zurich organized a large retrospective. Solo exhibitions at the Centre Pompidou in Paris and the Museum of Modern Art (MMK) Frankfurt followed in 2008. Tichy did not see his exhibitions, for he no longer leaf his house, prior to his death in 2011. Of his technical methods, Tichy has said, "First of all, you have to have a bad camera", and, "If you want to be famous, you must do something more badly than anybody in the entire world."[ This beautifully produced volume collects his work. This copy is brand new, still in original shrink-wrap. You cannot find a better copy,
