Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 283 pages. Published in 1982. Book-length account on subject, accompanied by photographic plates. The single most important volume on the photographic art of Aaron Siskind published in his lifetime. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now rare. An austerely elegant production by Aaron Siskind and The New York Graphic Society: Oversize-volume format. Brown cloth boards with metallic-silver titles embossed on spine, as issued. Photographs by Aaron Siskind. Foreword by James L. Enyeart. Text by Carl Chiarenza. Printed in duotone on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper in the United States to the highest standards. In pictorial DJ with titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Published on the occasion of the retrospective exhibition of the same name held at the Center For Creative Photography Tucson, Arizona in 1982. Presents Aaron Siskind's "Pleasures And Terrors". The one indispensable book on the great photographer. It is also one of very few titles that the reclusive Siskind actively participated in. After a long and restless search, Aaron Siskind finally found his vocation when he was given a camera as a wedding present in 1930. His social-documentary breakthrough, "Harlem Document" (not published until 1981), remains one of the most important works in the photographic canon. An incorrigible experimenter, his work resulted in substantial changes to his style, nourishing and sustaining one of the longest and most productive careers of the 20th century. Siskind's idea of people and place was, as Thomas B. Hess points out, formal and essential rather than specific and accidental, universal expressions of art's significance. Hess also underscores Siskind's seminal contribution to the history of modern Western art: "It's in the formalist area that Siskind's particular genius obtains, his ability to make photography a matter of transcendent aesthetic import. This is what true art is about" (Thomas B. Hess). "To a large degree, he has been responsible for bringing photography into the twentieth century" (Henry Holmes Smith). An absolute "must-have" title for Aaron Siskind collectors. This copy is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the publisher's Front Presentation Page by Aaron Siskind. This title is a late-modern 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. Please note: Copies available online have very serious flaws yet command as much as $700. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed copy thus. 74 duotone, 198 half-tone plates. One of the greatest photographers of the 20th century. A fine collectible copy.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 112 pages. Published in 1976. Landmark collection of photographs. One of the most important art photography books of the 20th century. The First Hardcover Edition. Should not be confused with the Softcover Edition. Both editions were published in a total print run of 7500 copies. Should also not be confused with copies signed on a tipped-in page ("first front endpaper"). The First Edition is now scarce. An austerely elegant production by Malcolm Grear Designers: Oversize-volume format. Pale gray cloth boards with metallic-silver titles embossed on cover and spine, as issued. Photographs by Aaron Siskind. Essay by Thomas B. Hess. Printed in duotone on Warren Cameo Dull Paper in the United States to the highest standards. The reproduction quality is exemplary in every respect. In pictorial DJ with titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Presents "Places: Aaron Siskind Photographs". The sequel to his seminal "Aaron Siskind: Photographs", further showcasing his productive dialogue with Abstract Expressionism and thereby making his body of work among the most influential in the history of both photography and art. At the time, Siskind was the only photographer whose work was considered a "must-see" by artists (who otherwise did not take photography seriously). The places where these photographs were taken include Rome, Viterbo, Corfu, Lima, Cuzco, the Gulf cities of Mexico, Boston, Providence, Woonsocket, and Martha's Vineyard. But anyone looking for picturesque landscapes will not find any here. Siskind's idea of place is, as Hess points out, formal and essential rather than specific and accidental, universal expressions of art's significance in the most rigorous manner possible. Hess underscores Siskind's significant contribution to the history of Western art itself: "It's in the formalist area that Siskind's particular genius obtains, his ability to make photography a matter of transcendent aesthetic import. This is what art is about" (Thomas B. Hess). "To a large degree, he has been responsible for bringing photography into the twentieth century" (Henry Holmes Smith).

"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 collectible copy.
