Contact seller5-star sellerHardcover. First Edition Thus. SIGNED by Clark on bottom of title page and self-published by Clark himself in 1983. Clark's black & white photographic anthology presents a raw look at American youth in Tulsa, Oklahoma, during the late '60s and early '70s. Through his lens, Clark captures gripping images of drug use, violence, an…d personal moments with brutal honesty. Notably, Clark appears in some of the photos himself, showing that he was deeply involved in the environment he was documenting. This added authenticity to his work, which is still highly regarded for its daring portrayal of youth culture and the human condition. 4to, bound in original black cloth with silver lettering in original dust jacket preserved in a clear sleeve. Minimal bumping to head and tail of spine. Small dent and tear to top edge of back board and a small bump to top corner of front board. Some minor fading to top of boards. A light scratch on back board. Dust jacket has minor chipping to spine ends. Slight edge-wear to top and bottom panels and a closed tear at top of rear panel. Some light rubbing on front and back panels. Overall, a Near Fine copy in a Very Good dust jacket. .

An exerpt from the text by David Levi Strauss (The Book of 101 Books: Seminal Photographic Books of the Twentieth Century): "In Tulsa, Clark first eliminated one of the rhetorical mainstays of documentary photography: the distance of the 'objective' observer from his or her subjects. The initial shock of Tulsa was that it was photographed from inside the story, and this changed everything. Tulsa, which was Larry Clark's first book, was published by Ralph Gibson's Lustrum Press, and the book was really a collaboration between Clark and Gibson." Signed by Author.

Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First hardcover edition. This is one of 400 copies of this classic photobook issued with a signed original silver gelatin photograph. "In Tulsa, Clark first eliminated one of the rhetorical mainstays of documentary photography: the distance of the 'objective' observer from… his or her subjects. The initial shock of Tulsa was that it was photographed from inside the story, and this changed everything. Tulsa, which was Larry Clark's first book, was published by Ralph Gibson's Lustrum Press, and the book was really a collaboration between Clark and Gibson."?David Levi Strauss in Roth, Book of 101 Books, p. 208?209. The world Clark takes us inside is that of white IV drug users in his hometown, the titular city in Oklahoma from the title. This is the undated first hardcover edition (the Lustrum Press published the book as a paperback original). The publication date for this book is usually given as 1979, but the 1983 review of the book in the New York Times and the reference to the "1983" hardcover edition in the Grove Press edition (published in 2000), suggest the usual dating is incorrect. The printer of this edition is different from that of the Lustrum Press version, making it likely that the other bookseller trope about this book?that it was bound from unsold copies or sheets of the first edition?is also not true. [Thanks to Brian Cassidy of Type Punch Matrix for sorting all this out.] According to Cassidy, contemporary advertisements give the print run as 3000 copies. This is one of 400 of those that are numbered and signed by Clark with a laid-in original silver gelatin print of the cover image, captioned below the image, "Dead 1970", but sometimes also referred to as "Billy Man (1968)." The print, on 8 by 10 inch paper, has an image size of 5-7/8 by 8-5/8 inches. It is numbered, dated (1968) and signed by Clark in pencil on the back (verso). The print slides into an archival paper envelope with a matching number written on the outside. First hardcover edition. A fine copy in a fine dust jacket. The book is numbered 217/400 and signed by Clark in ink on the title page. The print and envelope also have the same number; the print is signed by Clark on the back. This is the most desirable format of this key 1970s photobook; copies with the print still laid in are increasingly uncommon as the prints are removed and sold into the photo market.

Add to basketCondition: Fine. Beautifully rebound, signed, and almost universally misdescribed first hardcover edition (and second edition overall) of Clark's classic photobook. First published in 1971 by Ralph Gibson's Lustrum Press, Larry's Clark's indelible TULSA was followed by this edition, published by the photographer himself in 1983.… And let's make one thing clear right away: this book WAS published in 1983. Not 1979 as innumerable booksellers routinely, indeed pretty much exclusively, describe it. First and foremost, it was not announced or advertised until that year (Green). Likewise, reviews did not appear until that year either. For example, Andy Grundberg wrote for the NEW YORK TIMES on April 10, 1983: "Mr. Clark's 'Tulsa,' now reissued in a hardcover edition published by the photographer himself [.] remains a harrowing, vivid and unforgettable document." And as Grove Press described the chain of editions (presumably with some input or approval from Clark) when they reissued the book in 2000, TULSA was "[o]riginally published in a limited paperback version and republished in 1983 as a limited hardcover edition commissioned by the author." This edition was likely prepared to coincide with the publication that same year of Clark's second book TEENAGE LUST (also self-published by Clark), which may have unwittingly contributed to the confusion. Indeed, the 1979 date seems to have originated from a conflation of events described in Andrew Roth's 101 BOOKS. In his entry for TEENAGE LUST, Vince Aletti writes: "After a tentative deal with Aperture fell through, Clark designed and published the book himself with money he'd built up from his 1979 second edition of TULSA." But what Clark produced in late 1979 was not a new book edition of TULSA, but rather a suite of new photographic prints of the full series, issued in an edition of 100 by the Robert Freidus Gallery, in conjunction with a major exhibition of the Tulsa photos held there. The portfolios retailed for $15,000 - something Clark frankly admitted at the time he did for "the money" (PCN). It was almost certainly from these funds that Frank printed both TEENAGE LUST and this new (first hardcover) edition of TULSA. Further, it should be stated that this book was NOT assembled from leftover first edition sheets, again as many dealers assert or imply. This edition was advertised as being issued in an edition of 3000 copies; the 1971 Lustrum edition was printed in an edition of 2400 copies. It seems extraordinarily unlikely that there was a 125% overrun of that edition and that those unbound sheets laid around unused for more than a decade. Almost equally as unlikely is that no bookseller I can find has ever called the book what it rightly should have been were this true: the first edition, second issue of TULSA. And no enterprising book dealer I know has ever turned down the opportunity to make a selling point of a bibliographic point. But while it's true that in the history of book collecting there are certainly examples of stranger bibliographical tales than long-forgotten unbound overages, it is equally true that in this particular case we need not wonder or hypothesize. We know these two editions are completely separate because we know who printed each. It says so right in the book: "Tom Jones, Los Angeles, California" printed the 1971 edition, and (the noted photography printer Sid Rapoport of) Rapoport Printing the 1983 edition. So the idea that the latter edition was made up from 1971 sheets is not only unlikely and illogical on its face, it is blatantly contradicted by any straightforward comparison of the copyright pages of the two editions. But even OCLC has repeated this erroneous information ("[P]rinted by Rapoport Press under the author's supervision, cloth-bound and issued in 1979 using the 1971 first edition sheets"), so there's plenty of go-around to blame. Nevertheless, this corruption of the bibliographic record does feel emblematic of something. Fake news? A devaluing of genuine expertise? A skepticism around the idea that facts may be arrived at through a careful examination of the historic record? The continued Wild West shit show that is online dealing in the 21st century? I don't know. I'm just a bookseller. But I can state the following, as a bookseller: This is an attractive and solemnly-bound copy of the second edition overall and first hardcover edition of this important and still visceral photobook documenting a subject that Clark would spend his career investigating: the reckless abandon of youth to drugs, to drink, to guns, to sex. Unlike his subjects, however, we booksellers should endeavor toward a greater sobriety, about this or any other book. Rebound in full black oasis morocco with silver titles and front panel of dustjacket bound in. Black endpapers. [60] pages. One of 3000 copies. Signed by Clark on title page. Bright, sharp, and clean. Signed.

Add to basketTitled, dated, and signed in pencil lower middle on the verso by Clark, additionally inscribed with annotations of how the print was made with light box instructions and developing notes. Clark discusses his techniques in the book Darkroom (1977): referring specifically to Tulsa, he says, "I do a lot of burning and dodging when…making a print and then use bleach. There's not a straight print in the Tulsa book. When I'm photographing I always try to shoot against the light. The film can't handle this and everything gets burned up, since I'm exposing for the shadows". This is one of two prints Clark made on this size paper; the other, which did not turn out so well, was simply noted "No good" on the verso. This image appears in Clark's book Tulsa, first published in 1971. Gelatin silver print photograph. Image size: 40 x 27 cm. Sheet size: 50 x 40.3 cm. Light horizontal crease across the middle of the image, light indentation to the right side, faint discolouration to the left. Very good condition.
