Soft cover. Condizione: As New. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 37 pages. Published in 2012. Rare Barack Obama, Dawoud Bey, and Marc PoKempner collectible item. Exhibition/Auction 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 rare. Published on the occasion of the fund-raiser exhibition held at the Stephen Daiter Gallery in July, 2012. Presents "Artists For Obama: Exhibition Sale And Auction To Support The Re-Election of President Barack Obama". Fundraiser by artists for the beloved President. Thirty-six art and photographic works are shown in the catalog out of almost 100 pieces that were donated by artists, photographers, Chicago galleries, dealers, and collectors to raise funds for President Obama's re-election campaign versus Mitt Romney. All of the proceeds were given to President Obama's campaign. Aside from donating works, Stephen Daiter Gallery and other (passionate) volunteers donated their space, time, and effort so no one was paid (as the people who work for political campaigns or charitable causes/foundations are). Artists often make political statements. But with few exceptions, they seldom take an explicitly partisan stand. This was one such partisan issue that united numerous artists, whose donation of their work amounted to making a statement and taking a stand. The artists are a Who's Who of contemporary art and photography, too numerous to mention here. They include foreign artists with deep ties to America such as the late great Yasuhiro Ishimoto, among many others. Two examples: The cover shows a formal portrait of President Obama by Dawoud Bey. And there is a stunning black-and-white photograph by Marc PoKempner that deserves to be better-known: "Alley Ball, 1995", which shows a very young (and completely unknown) Obama playing basketball with a group of kids during his first campaign, as a candidate for the Illinois Legislature, more than ten years before he rose to national prominence and eventually, the Presidency. An absolute "must-have" collectible, not just memorabilia, item for Barack Obama, Dawoud Bey, and Marc PoKempner collectors. This title is now collectible. As far as we know, this is the only copy of the Exhibition/Auction available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A rare copy thus. 36 black-and-white and color plates. Some of the greatest artists and photographers of our time. A fine copy.

Soft cover. Condizione: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 74 pages. Published in 2012. Exhibition Catalog. One of the most important exhibition catalogs on its subject in our time. The first and only edition. Published in a small and limited print run as a softcover original only. The Exhibition Catalog is now scarce. A brilliant production by Adam Holtzman: Regular-sized volume format. Pictorial softcovers with titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Photographs and text by Samantha Appleton, Vincent Cianni, Ashley Gilbertson, and Stephanie Sinclair. 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 exhibition of the same name held at the Stephen Daiter Gallery Chicago in 2012. Presents "Collateral Damage: The Human Face of War". Gripping images of war and its even more affecting aftermath. "Whether it is Vincent Cianni's black-and-white portraits of gay soldiers under the contradictory and compromised reign of 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell', Stephanie Sinclair's searing color scenes of Afghan women who have taken violence unto themselves and committed acts of self-immolation, or Samantha Appleton's war-zone shots, such as a jihadi in Iraq praying alone inside the walls of a bombed-out house, this powerful show fills in the picture of the realities of war beyond the battles. Collateral damage means much more than civilian casualties and properties destroyed. It is the effect of war on individuals that will last lifetimes" (Michael Weinstein). The book features a stunning multi-panel foldout of Ashley Gilbertson's panoramic photographs of empty rooms in American suburbia. They are the bedrooms of dead young American soldiers, in the homes where they were born and grew up, left "as is" by their grieving parents: An 18-year-old man's diplomas, awards, and trophies neatly and proudly on display. Another bedroom overflowing with yet another dead 18-year-old's regalia, sports posters, and girlie pin-ups, emblems of American adolescence and virility. A woman-soldier's room decorated with lush house plants. In a way that only photographs can evoke, they are about absence and presence at the same time: The young lives snuffed out and gone, their "human remains" left behind, helping keep their memory alive. An absolute "must-have" title for Samantha Appleton, Vincent Cianni, Ashley Gilbertson, and Stephanie Sinclair 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 scarce copy thus. Lavishly illustrated with black-and-white and color plates. Four of the most brilliant American photographers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO PETER VAN AGTMAEL AND RYAN SPENCER REED TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 0985952903. no.

Hardcover. Condizione: As New. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 75 pages. Published in 2012. Exhibition Catalog. One of the most beautiful books on the photographic art and achievement of Joseph D. Jachna. The first and only edition. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. None of the copies was sold commercially. The Exhibition Catalog is now rare. An austerely elegant production by Joseph D. Jachna and Adam Holtzman: Oversize-volume format. Gray cloth boards with photographic reproduction pasted in front and metallic-silver titles embossed on the cover and spine, as issued. Photographs by Joseph D. Jachna. Essay by Agathe Cancelliere. Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper in the United States to the highest standards. The reproduction quality is exemplary in every respect. Without DJ, as issued. Published on the occasion of the landmark retrospective exhibition of the same name held at the Stephen Daiter Gallery Chicago in 2012. Presents Joseph D. Jachna's "Surface Contradictions 1958-1971". An indispensable guide to the singular art of one of the most remarkable artist/photographers of our time. This is the second (and final) volume published by Stephen Daiter on Jachna's oeuvre, preceded by "Or Water Is" (2000), published twelve years ago. It is also the only major volume published by the photographer in his lifetime (Jachna died in 2016). Throughout his long career, Jachna's desire to photograph Nature, particularly bodies of water, became a powerful instrument that connected him (and us) to the elemental richness of life, and just as important, to metaphorical self-reflection, the outer reality reflecting the inner life. As such, his images have reliably provided a much-needed calming, immersive, and meditative experience. This respite is otherwise impossible to find in contemporary photography, whose imagery is hectic, passive-aggressive, even violent. What does the rather provocative title mean? "Rough/Smooth; Wet/Dry; Matte/Lustre; Luminous/Dark; Teeming/Empty; Opaque/Transparent. These contrasts define Jachna's images. Using contradictory surfaces, he creates scenes which at first glance seem simple but upon further investigation, complex images emerge, physically radiant and psychologically revealing" (Agathe Cancelliere). In other words, Jachna's exploration of physics, our natural state, is finally about metaphysics, our psychological, even philosophical, state of being. This is why despite their ostensible natural subject, most of his prints are "Untitled", flouting the widely-accepted practice of identifying every landscape photograph with a specific place, date, and time. An absolute "must-have" title for Joseph D. Jachna collectors. This copy is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed and dated in black ink-pen on the title page by the photographer: "Joseph D. Jachna 01 18 13". It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a contemporary art photography classic. As far as we know, this is the only such signed and dated copy of the Exhibition Catalog available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: None of the copies was sold commercially. A rare signed copy thus. 56 plates. One of the most brilliant American photographers of our time. A fine collectible copy.
