About This Item
New York: Powerhouse, 2004. First edition and first printing. Small oblong hardcover. 119 pages. Features an introduction by Adam Gopnik. A selection of 106 tritone illustrations. Most of these images had previously not been published but are still evidence of the same genius that produced the classic book "A Way of Seeing." A fine copy in a very near fine dust jacket. Signed by Levitt on the half title page. A lovely copy.
Synopsis
Helen Levitt (1913-2009) had her first solo exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, in 1943. Levitt’s photographs appeared in Edward Steichen’s landmark 1955 show The Family of Man and in more recent exhibitions of great importance, including MoMA’s Photography Until Now and the National Gallery of Art’s On the Art of Fixing a Shadow in Washington, D.C., both celebrating the invention of photography. She has been the subject of numerous retrospective exhibitions at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the International Center of Photography, New York; the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Levitt’s reputation as New York City’s master street photographer was further cemented in 2001 when her photographs were featured in the opening sequence of Ken Burns’ acclaimed PBS documentary series, New York . The author of the critically acclaimed, best-selling monographs Crosstown, Here and There , and Slide Show (powerHouse Books, 2001, 2004, and 2005), Levitt lived and worked in New York City, naturally.
