In 1977, photographers Larry Sultan and Mike Mandel sifted through thousands of photographs in the files of the Bechtel Corporation, the Beverly Hills Police Department, the Jet Propulsion Laboratories, the U.S. Department of the Interior, Stanford Research Institute and a hundred other corporations, American government agencies, and educational, medical and technical institutions. They were looking for photographs that were made and used as transparent documents and purely objective instruments as evidence, in short. Selecting 50 of the best, they printed these images with the care you would expect to find in a high-quality art photography book, publishing them in a simple, limited-edition volume titled Evidence. The concept for the book was clear: select photographs intended to be used as objective evidence and show that it is never that simple. Now an undisputed classic in the photo world, considered a seminal harbinger of conceptual photography, Evidence is nearly impossible to find. Hardcover. Near fine.

"By definition these found images are records and by implication they are cultural artifacts," write the artists in their statement about the exhibition [at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art]. "This is not a compilation of photographs that define any specific place in time but rather a poetic exploration upon the restructuring of imagery. It is difficult to pinpoint the subject matter of these pictures: human contact with mechanical apparatus, bits and pieces of industrial environments that depict a world separate from our everyday experience where the process of technology is tested and recorded, tension and explosion, and above all, a carefully designed invitation to participate in the closure of the meaning of the images."

Very light sunning of endpapers along edges. Binding in overall near fine, laid in ephemera lightly sunned along edges, photographs in fine condition.

With a superb afterword by Robert F. Forth. Roth 240-241. A very fresh copy.

Evidence presents a selection of their findings: photographs previously used merely for recording or instructional purposes presented in a new context. This book accompanied a 1977 exhibition at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.

FirstÂedition of this groundbreaking collection of 59 evidentiary photographs selected from diverse archives, documenting crime scenes, scientific experiments, industrial tests, and natural disasters. Slim oblong quarto, original dark blue cloth gilt. Signed by both authors on the title page, "Mike Mandel 6-21-77" and by Larry Sultan. Afterword by Robert F. Forth. In fine condition. With the advent of â art photographyâ in the 1960s and 70s came a somewhat pretentious insistence by the artistic community that only â artistsâ could create valuable photographs. When Evidence appeared, it shifted our appreciation of the photograph toward something more than a purely artistic expression, and forever designated â found imagesâ and â candid shotsâ as acceptable in the photographic arts. In the afterword to this collection, art professor Robert Forth warns (tongue in cheek) that to interpret evidence correctly, we must â underpin and surround the evident with more circumstantial materials,â that archeology, for example, â is nothing more than sociology without live people around to fill in the gaps between the remains.â Roth 101, Parr & Badger; Photobook.
