A complete collection of all books and exhibition catalogues on the work of Lee Friedlander over a sixty year period, from 1963 through 2023. All titles first edition, first printing. All titles signed by Friedlander. Lee Friedlander s work is widely known for transforming our visual understanding of contemporary American culture. Known for passionately embracing all subject matter, Friedlander photographed nearly every facet of American life from the 1950s to the present. From factories in Pennsylvania, to the jazz scene in New Orleans, to the deserts of the Southwest, Friedlander's complex formal visual strategies continue to influence the way we understand, analyze, and experience modern American experience. Friedlander's work continues to influence photographic practice internationally, in part due to the heightened sense of self-awareness that is a trademark of so many of his photographs and in part because of his ability to embrace wide-ranging subject matter, always interpreting it in an elegance that hadn't existed prior to his work. Fine to As New (most titles from Friedlander's personal archive). A Mint collection. MONOGRAPHS AND EXHIBITION CATALOGUES (#1-60): 1. Work from the Same House: Photographs and Etchings.
