About This Item
[ Brewster, MA]: Published by Stephen Albahari [21st Publications], [ 2002].. Two volumes. Folio (38.5 x 34.5 cm). Full publisher's Niger goatskin, enclosed in cloth clamshell box, accompanied by portfolio of loose plates, enclosed in matching box. Fine. First edition, the deluxe "Museum Edition." Illustrated throughout with plates, including drytrap tritones, hand-pulled photogravures and color planographs. One of fifty-five numbered copies in this format, accompanied by the separate portfolio, from a total edition of 1420 copies. This number is devoted to "an insightful examination of the ways in which artists today make conscious attempts to create work that can often be unsettling, difficult, even horrific, yet all the while retaining that strangely mysterious sense of what can only be called beautiful." The portfolio contains a selected set of fourteen of the photogravures and planographs, each signed and numbered by the photographer, including images by Sally Mann, Michal Macku, Connie Imboden, Vincent Serbia, Sheila Metzner, Andrea Modica, Josephine Sacabo, John Metoyer, David Levinthal, Stephen Berkman, Kelly Grider, Keith Carter, Don Gregorio Anton, and Christopher Pekoe. Contributing writers include Ann Beattie, Gerard Malanga, Raúl Peschiera, Susan Ludvigson, Paul Zimmer, Neil Connelly, et al. Each of the photographers has also signed the colophon in the book.
