Item description from seller

First edition, first and only printing. Hardcover. Photographically illustrated laminated paper-covered boards, no dust jacket as issued. Photographs by Tim Davis. Texts by Bill Berkson and Walead Beshty. 72 pp., with 48 four-color plates, beautifully printed on fine matte art paper. 13-3/4 x 13 inches. This first edition was limited to 1000 copies. New in publisher's shrink-wrap. From Bill Berkson: "Davis is a sort of new-fangled Luminist, attuned to visuality in our current variant of the frenetic urbane. Luminism starts from an initial wonder: What is it about objects that allows us to see them?" From the publisher: "Throughout his various bodies of work, Tim Davis photographs "grand and gorgeous failures of light to sync up to its supposed functions." In Permanent Collection, he focuses on paintings in museums, photographing them from oblique angles so that existing museum lighting glares off the paintings' surfaces, changing their often-reproduced meanings. By then enlarging the photographs to the size of the original painting, the light is allowed to do more than illuminate a painting's image, but instead can obscure, erase, add humor, sadness, strangeness or narrative to objects we think of as fixed and permanent. Davis's work has been widely exhibited and written about, and is included in numerous collections, including The Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Guggenheim Museum, and Fotomuseum Winterthur. Permanent Collection opens with essays by Bill Berkson and Walead Beshty. This first printing is limited to 1,000 hardbound copies.".…
