Reader reviews for In the American West

From the publisher

The 120 full-page photographs in this book depict people at country fairs, rodeos, mining camps, drilling sites, and even a slaughterhouse - men and women of the American West who work at hard, everyday jobs. Richard Avedon introduces the volume with an essay on his working method and portrait philosophy, and Laura Wilson, who accompanied Avedon and his team, provides a journal of their travels, between 1979 and 1984.

Description:
New York: Harry N. Abrams, 2005. First edition and first printing. Hardcover. One of Avedon's best and most cohesive book, a look at "regular" people. Avedon traveled extensively taking a portable studio with him to and photograph his subjects in front of a white background which' resulted in stark and striped down images. Features background text by Laura Wilson. A very near fine copy in cloth boards with black and white plates affixed to the front and rear covers and in a near fine acetate dust jacket with a slight crimp to the top of the spine. A lovely copy. (Parr & Badger v2, p38).

Wilder (1913-1979), the director of the Amon Carter Museum in Fort Worth, Texas, to complete the "Western Project." Wilder envisioned the project as Avedon's take on the American West. It became a turning point in Avedon's career: he focused on everyday working-class subjects-miners in soiled work clothes, housewives, farmers, and drifters-photographed as larger-than-life prints.
