A brilliant production by Grafiche Damiani: Oversize-volume format. The book weighs 3 pounds. Photographs by Bill Owens. Text by A. M. Homes and Claudia Zanfi, who also edited the book.

A good deal of it has not been published anywhere before, too. "Bill Owens is best-known for his critically acclaimed 'Suburbia'. Owens simply shot friends and acquaintances in his Livermore, California neighborhood and allowed them to speak for themselves. Ordinary people have rarely been so riveting. This volume consists of work from 1969 to the Present, opening at the height of Flower Power with images of the Beat Generation, Woodstock, and the protests against Vietnam. There follows a series of images focussing on urban America, its endless grids, and homogeneous cities. In his most recent photographs, many of which are in color, Owens reveals how suburbia has evolved in the last 40 years, from the friendly place he captured in the 1970's to one characterized by sprawl and anonymity" (Claudia Zanfi). Bill Owens' aesthetic comes from the tension between being an insider and an outsider at the same time, from being someone who "fits right in" and is also deeply immersed in the California counter-culture that repudiated everything bourgeois and materialistic about suburban life. One way to describe his sensibility today is affectionate ambivalence, a rich, complex, late-modern aesthetic that also characterizes the work of Martin Parr at its best, whose work is indebted to Owens, and indeed, as this collection shows, Owens anticipated Parr by about two decades. An absolute "must-have" title for Bill Owens collectors. This copy is very boldly and beautifully signed in metallic-silver pen-marker on the title page by Bill Owens. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a contemporary photography classic. This is one of very few such signed copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A rare signed copy thus. Bill Owens' "Suburbia" was selected as one of the greatest photography books in "The Photobook". One of the most brilliant photographers of our time. A fine copy.

Hardcover. Condizione: New. 1st Edition. Damiani, 2008. First Edition. First printing. A new copy without a jacket (as issued). Purchased new and never opened except for author to sign. SIGNED by Owens on title page (as pictured). Bill Owens was born in San Jose, California, in 1938, and has been working as a photographer since 1969. In 1977, he received a National Endowment for the Arts award. His work has since been included in many museum collections, including The Museum of Modern Art, New York, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the Paris National Library. This is his fourth monograph. A comprehensive monograph, this volume consists of several sections of work from 1969 to the present, opening at the height of flower power, with images of the Beat generation, Woodstock and the protests against Vietnam. In his most recent photos, many of which are in color and previously unpublished, Owens reveals how suburbia has evolved in the last 40 years--from the friendly place he captured in the 1970s to one characterized by sprawl and anonymity.
