Condition: Wie neu. Prestel, Munich, London, New York. 1999. First english edition, first printing. Published simultanously and identically together with the german edition. Clothbound hardcover with dust jacket. 245 x 305 mm (9 3/4 x 12 inch). 94 pages. Text in english. Condition: Book and dustjacket fresh and flawless; only slightest trace of use. Overall excellent condition! Urban American streetscapes, captured in black and white taken over a quarter century show Metzker pushing the technical boundaries of photography into an undefined formal realm well beyond the expected. Metker`s shots transform his subjects into visual patterns and a study in texture and pattterns and are a manifestation of his command of light and shade Whether the photographs capture people waiting to take action, or people already in motion, Metzker`s technique estrange them from the lockstep rhythm of mundane activity, and makes them stand still- just for a moment. The result is a series of photographs that demands a reinterpreptation of the city, its streetlife and its inhabitants.***************Prestel, München, London, New York. 1999. Englische Erstausgabe. Erschien zeitgleich mit der deutschen Ausgabe. Hardcover mit Schutzumschlag. 245 x 305 mm. 94 Seiten. Text auf englisch. Zustand: Buch und Schutzumschlag frisch und sehr gut erhalten; leichteste Gebrauchsspuren, keine Mängel. Insgesamt sehr schöner Zustand! Eine amerikanische Limousine steht nachts an einer Straßenlampe geparkt. Die Fotoarbeit Car and Street Lamp, 1966 zeigt 84 Variationen dieses Themas in einer Sequenz von zwölf Zeilen à sechs Abbildungen. Composites nennt der amerikanische Fotograf Ray K. Metzker die fotografischen Arrangements, die ein Motiv leicht abgeändert mehrfach darstellen, um seine Vorstellung von Urbanität zu visualisieren. Die Publikation City Stills zeigt 78 schwarz-weiß-Fotografien, die Metzker in einem Zeitraum von über 25 Jahren zum größten Teil in nordamerikanischen Großstädten aufgenommen hat. Darunter findet man neben den Composites auch Aufnahmen der Serie City Whispers, die Metzker Anfang der 80er-Jahre fotografierte. Auf den stark kontrastierten Bildern aus Philadelphia und Chicago isoliert er die vorbeilaufenden Passanten zwischen Licht und Schatten zu urbanen Darstellern. In den Double Frames abstrahiert Metzker das Bild durch die Überblendung zweier Motive und führt diese Methode in der Reihe "Pictus Interruptus" durch die Einblendung motivfremder Fragmente in stadträumliche Ansichten fort. Ray K. Metzker wurde 1931 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin geboren und lebt heute in Philadelphia. Er studierte am Institute of Design in Chicago bei Aaron Siskind und Harry Callahan. Das Institute of Design ist eine Nachfolgeeinrichtung des 1937 von Lászlo Moholy-Nagy in Chicago gegründeten New Bauhaus. Die Fotografie Metzkers folgt dessen Tradition. Sie ist fraktal, simultan, collagenhaft und entspricht der Theorie und Arbeit von Moholy-Nagy, der Anfang der 20er-Jahre das zentrale Motiv der Fotografie, die Abbildungstreue in Frage gestellt hat. Eingeleitet wird der beeindruckende Fotoband durch einen englischsprachigen Text des New Yorker Galeristen Laurence G. Miller. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 1600.

Book First Edition Signed
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 120 pages. Published in 2009. Retrospective collection of photographs. One of the most beautiful art photography books of our time. Limited Edition of 500 numbered and signed copies. Published as a hardcover original only. The Limited Edition is now scarce. A brilliant production by Roland Angst: Oversize-volume format. Purple cloth boards with gray titles embossed on cover and spine, as issued. Photographs by Ray K. Metzker. Preface by Roland Angst in the German original and felicitous English trasnlation. Essay by David Travis in the English original and German translation. Biography and List of Plates (with matching thumbnail reproductions) appended at the end. Printed in tritone by Medialis Offsetdruck GmbH Berlin on pristine-white, thick uncoated stock paper to the highest standards. The reproduction quality is outstanding in every respect. In pristine-white DJ, with a sleek, semi-abstract automobile silhouette-design embossed on the cover, and black titles printed on the cover and spine, as issued. Presents, in its Limited Edition format, Ray K. Metzker's "AutoMagic". For our money, the single most beautifully produced book on the austere and elegant photographic art of Ray K. Metzker, devoted exclusively to the number-one American obsession, the car. Which, as J. G. Ballard (in his great novel, "Crash") once pointed out, is both the dangerous substitute and the perfect venue for sex. In hindsight, the car is also the ideal subject for Metzker's Modernist, "chiaroscuro" aesthetics and brilliant eye (the automobile appears in almost all of his books, notably "City Stills" and "Light Lines"). Rigorous and tightly focussed, "AutoMagic" showcases the enigmatic beauty, formal elegance, and quiet desperation that are Metzker trademarks. A unique cumulative visual experience, each image in this book nevertheless speaks for itself. "For me, to photograph is to wander with camera in hand, looking at everything along the way. What ultimately gives meaning and satisfaction to this act is discovering something I had not known, seen, or felt before" (Ray K. Metzker). An absolute "must-have" title for Ray K. Metzker collectors. This is a copy of the Limited Edition of 500 numbered and signed copies, indicated/numbered as such on the Back Limitation Page. It is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed in black pen-marker by Ray K. Metzker. 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 few copies of the Limited Edition still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: There is a Deluxe Edition (with print), available exclusively from the publisher for about $5000, rightly so. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed copy thus. 79 tritone plates. One of the greatest photographers of our time. A fine collectible copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER RAY K. METZKER TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 398125371X.
