Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 64 pages. Published in 1987. Retrospective collection of portrait-photographs. One of Bill Burke's finest achievements. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. The book is elegantly produced on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper in the United States to the highest standards. Presents Bill Burke's "Portraits". Appalachia, with a bit of Atlantic City and Brazil thrown in for good measure. "We follow Bill Burke through Appalachia in the 1970's, as he documents rural souls in the American South. His subjects are wandering between an old-world community burdened by its history and a more socially connected 20th-century landscape. Bits of modern culture - rock music, discos, and contemporary clothing - blend with traditional values, customs, and ideals. Many of his portraits are defiantly tragic while others are hopeful for something new. Some are just pleased to be living and breathing in a world that many Americans would view as outrageous" (Victor Lee). That's because there is an Arbus-ian voyeurism (combined with his characteristic empathy) that makes the images stand out: This is "How The Other Half Lives", in historically, geographically, and culturally separated America. The greatest photography book on abject poverty in wealthy America remains Marion Palfi's "Suffer Little Children" (1952). There are some images in Bill Burke that will remind us of Palfi, but his strategy is closer to "ethnography" rather than an enraged "call to action". An absolute "must-have" title for Bill Burke collectors. This copy is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the title page by Bill Burke. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a photography book classic. This is one of few such signed copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in fine condition overall: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have very serious flaws ("Very Good") or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce signed copy thus. 32 black-and-white plates. Bill Burke's "I Want To Take Picture" was selected as one of the greatest photography books in "The Photobook". One of the greatest photographers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER BILL BURKE TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 0880011629. Signed by Author.…

First edition thus. 11.75 x 14.5 inches. 140 pages. Profusely illustrated in color. Original cloth; pictorial dust jacket. With a warm inscription from the photographer to a curator. With essays by Kerry Brougher, Andy Grundberg and Anne W. Tucker. "Originally published in 1987, Joel Sternfeld's now-classic view of America is here remastered, redesigned and reprinted at a larger, brighter, truer scale. Finally, photography and offset printing techniques have caught up with Sternfeld's eye, and this new edition of American Prospects succeeds in presenting Sternfeld's most seminal work as it has always meant to be shown. A specially-commissioned essay by Kerry Brougher, Chief Curator at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, considers the historical context in which Sternfeld was working and the pivotal role that American Prospects has played in the course of contemporary filmmaking and art photography. In American Prospects, a fireman shops for a pumpkin while a house burns in the background; a group of motorcyclists stop at the side of the road to take in a stunning, placid view of Bear Lake, Utah; the high-tech world headquarters of the Manville Corporation sits in picturesque Colorado, obscured by a defiant boulder; a lone basketball net stands in the desert near Lake Powell in Arizona; and a cookie-cutter suburban housing settlement rests squarely amongst rolling hills in Pendleton, Oregon. Sternfeld's photographic tour of America is a search for the truth of a country not just as it exists in a particular era but as it is in its ever-evolving essence. It is a sad poem, but also a funny and generous one, recognizing endurance, poignant beauty, and determination within its sometimes tense, often ironic juxtapositions of man and nature, technology and ruin" (the publisher). A near-fine copy.…
