About this Item

Bruce Webers' "0 Rio De Janeiro" was an influential book set in the famous Brazilian city. Its release was accompanied by an exhibition at Robert Miller Gallery which travelled throughout the United States. As described in the Vince Aletti's "100 Books," 0 Rio "brought all the elements of Weber's commercial work together and was the first to incorporate the vivacious pastiche of original and borrowed material that had become the signature of his issue-filling spreads in Per Lui and L'Uomo Vogue. Weber turned his trademark fiction of youthful exuberance and sexy camaraderie into a fast-paced montage intercut with landscapes, still lifes, news photos, family snapshots, and drawings by Richard Giglio. An extended portrait of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu champion Rickson Gracie ground the book in a passage of documentary realness.but 0 Rio is most successful as a carefully planned act of seduction." - - - - - - - - - Book is in 'fine' condition with very few signs of reading, no bumps, stresses to the spine and minimal wear, very tight and clean - exceptional for a paperback of this age (Andrew Roth: The Book of 101 Books: Seminal Photographic Books of the Twentieth Century) - - - - - - - - - PLEASE NOTE: Additional shipping costs may be required for insured shipping to your destination beyond our standard rates due to its value - we will inform you of the amount at time of purchase.
