Items related to Evidence
In 1977, photographers Larry Sultan and Mike Mandel sifted through thousands of photographs in the files of the Bechtel Corporation, the Beverly Hills Police Department, the Jet Propulsion Laboratories, the U.S. Department of the Interior, Stanford Research Institute and a hundred other corporations, American government agencies, and educational, medical and technical institutions. They were looking for photographs that were made and used as transparent documents and purely objective instruments--as evidence, in short. Selecting 50 of the best, they printed these images with the care you would expect to find in a high-quality art photography book, publishing them in a simple, limited-edition volume titled Evidence. The concept for the book was clear: select photographs intended to be used as objective evidence and show that it is never that simple. Now an undisputed classic in the photo world, considered a seminal harbinger of conceptual photography, Evidence is nearly impossible to find. This new edition is being published in recognition of the project's continued relevance, and will contain a facsimile copy of the original book plus a newly commissioned scholarly essay by Sandra Phillips of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Additionally, this edition will include a new spread of images and a group of black-and-white illustrations selected by the artists from an archive of photographs that were not included in the original book.

Book Description Tapa Dura. Condition: New. En 1977, los fotógrafos Larry Sultan y Mike Mandel examinaron miles de fotografías en los archivos de la Bechtel Corporation, el Departamento de Policía de Beverly Hills, los Jet Propulsion Laboratories, el Departamento del Interior de Estados Unidos, el Instituto de Investigación de Stanford y cien otras corporaciones, agencias gubernamentales e instituciones educativas, médicas y técnicas. Buscaban fotografías que se tomaran y utilizaran como documentos transparentes y como instrumentos puramente objetivos, en resumen, como evidencia. Seleccionando 50 de las mejores, imprimieron estas imágenes con el cuidado que esperaría encontrar en un libro de fotografía artística de alta calidad, y las publicaron en un volumen sencillo de edición limitada titulado Evidence. El concepto del libro era claro: seleccionar fotografías destinadas a ser utilizadas como evidencia objetiva y demostrar que nunca es tan simple. Ahora un clásico indiscutible en el mundo de la fotografía, considerado un presagio fundamental de la fotografía conceptual, es casi imposible encontrar evidencia. Esta reimpresión de la edición facsímil de 2004 de DAP se publica en reconocimiento a la continua relevancia del proyecto y contendrá una copia facsímil del libro original más un ensayo académico recientemente encargado por Sandra Phillips del Museo de Arte Moderno de San Francisco. Además, esta edición incluirá una nueva serie de imágenes y un grupo de ilustraciones en blanco y negro seleccionadas por los artistas de un archivo de fotografías que no estaban incluidas en el libro original.
