About This Item

Chicago, IL: Alibi Fine Art, 2012. First Edition. First Printing.. Softcover. As New/No Dust Jacket, As Issued.. Chicago, IL: Alibi Fine Art, 2012. Softcover. As New/None, As Issued. First Edition/First Printing. 65 pages. Memorial Exhibition Catalog. The first and only edition. Published in a small and limited print run as a softcover original only. There is no ISBN. The Exhibition Catalog is now scarce. An austerely elegant production by Adam Holtzman: Small-size volume format in wide horizontal shape. Pictorial softcovers with black titles on the cover, as issued. Photographs by Joseph Sterling. Text by Adam Holtzman. Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper in the United States to the highest standards. Without DJ, as issued. Published on the occasion of the same name held at Alibi Fine Art Chicago from September 8 through October 27, 2012. Presents "Taste of Chciago: Photographs by Joseph Sterling". The photographer's images of the food festival that brings together people from all walks of life to the city's center to sample a diverse sampling of the world's cuisine. The show is a posthumous tribute to Sterling, who died unexpectedly on November 12, 2010. These photographs appear in book form for the very first time. Closely identified with the Institute of Design (ID), his work is characterized by the technical perfection and formal experimentation identified with the Bauhaus-inspired Institute. His best-known work, "The Adolescent Comedy", departs from Bauhaus aesthetics, and the result is simply wonderful. So is this collection of foodies of all ages and tastes. An absolute "must-have" title for Joseph Sterling collectors. This title is now collectible. As far as we know, this is the only copy of the Memorial Exhibition Catalog available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A scarce copy thus. Lavishly illustrated with black-and-white plates. One of the finest American photographers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER JOSEPH STERLING TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 098457493X.
