The Code (Signed First Edition)

A collection of color photographs shot in and around Tokyo. While Gossage's trademark celebration of the banal is certainly on display here, the photographer charts new territory with shots of Tokyo street scenes, skyscapes and tissue boxes. Published on the occasion of Gossage's exhibition at Harper's Books, East Hampton, August 18 - October 1, 2012. Selected as one of the Best Books of 2013 by Darius Himes "In his new bookwork THE CODE, Gossage has done the seemingly imposssible with a series of photographs that are fresh, compelling, mysterious and yet so simple." - Harvey Benge "Gossage has cultivated one of the most original photographic voices of the past 25 years. He stands as a contemporary of (in descending chronological order) Eggleston, Shore, and Parr; he stands next to, but apart from them in voice but not concerns. He is a photographer of the everyday, the banal, the passed over, the ordinary (with Parr as the photographer of the obvious." - Darius Himes
