NICK WAPLINGTON: LIVING ROOM / WORK PRINTS
(WAPLINGTON, NICK). Waplington, Nick. Los Angeles: Little Big Man Books, 2015. First Edition. Oblong 8vo. Pictorial Wrappers. Photography Monograph. As New.. np, profusely illustrated in color. Designed by Little Big Man Books. "Living Room" was Nick Waplington's spectacular first book that vibrantly illuminates the antithesis of "the grainy, downtrodden, black and white interpretation of working class life one generally sees". It features intimate glimpses of the daily lives of two families in Nottingham council estates at the end of the Thatcher era. Now nearly twenty-five years on, Little Big Man Books presents "Living Room / Work Prints" - a brand new collection of photographs taken from a box of machine-made work prints which were used for editing purposes during the design of "Living Room" and "The Wedding". "What you see here is a selection of works that didn`t make the final edit of either publication". A brand new, most handsome example of the 2015 first printing (whose 1991 predecessor "Living Room" is cited on pages 354-355 of The Hasselblad Center's "The Open Book") limited to seven hundred unnumbered copies.
