Rare First edition. Large and oversized. Folio (355 x 275 mm; 14 x 11 inches). 172 pages. Black-and-white photographs, one folding. Original cloth, each cover with large mounted image; clear acetate jacket. SIGNED by Avedon on the front free endpaper, and dated '85.
Also included, a rare original poster from Avedon’s famous 1946-1980 exhibition, measuring 1 meter by 1.4 meter; 39.5 × 56 inches (yes it is huge, from the original museum frames).
One of the most iconic photo books of the last century. To make the work, which was commissioned by the Amon Carter Museum in Fort Worth, Texas, Avedon traveled extensively across the Western states of America, giving us his personal view of the frontier spirit, which meant puncturing a few myths and constructing some new ones.
In excellent read shape, no discoloring. Endlessly inspiring.
Price discounted as a set. Individually available for €599 (book) and €249 (poster), just email me if you want only one.
