Published on the occasion of the landmark exhibition of the same name held at the Stephen Daiter Gallery Chicago in 2011. Presents "Eye/Object: Photographs From The Collection of Jonathan Williams". Whose guiding light is Ralph Eugene Meatyard and which collection is primarily devoted to American Surrealism. A modern Renaissance Man, Williams was an essayist, Classical music lover, poet, and free spirit whose identification with photography was pioneering and prescient: He rightly saw the medium itself and collecting it as a Surrealist enterprise. Many of the photographs he eventually collected were used by the Jargon Society for its publications, starting with Ralph Eugene Meatyard (whose "The Family Album of Lucybelle Crater" was first published by the Jargon Society) as well as Lyle Bonge, Wynn Bullock, Harry Callahan, Clarence John Laughlin, John Menapace, Art Sinsabaugh, Aaron Siskind, Frederick Sommer, Mark Steinmetz, and Arthur Tress, among others. An absolute "must-have" title for art photography collectors. This title is a contemporary art photography classic. This is one of few copies of the Exhibition Catalog still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare copy thus. Lavishly illustrated with duotone plates. Some of the greatest American photographers of the 20th century. A fine copy. no.
