RICHARD MISRACH: CHRONOLOGIES - SIGNED BY THE PHOTOGRAPHER
(MISRACH, RICHARD). Misrach, Richard. San Francisco: Fraenkel Gallery, 2005. First Edition. Oblong Folio. Boards in Acetate Dust Jacket. Photography Monograph. Fine/Fine. np (288pp), 125 color illustrations. Designed by Fabio Cutro and Dana Faconti / Blind Spot Photography, Inc. "Chronologies" is a compelling study of Richard Misrach's process over the past thirty years. Stripped of their original context, the photographs - presented in chronological order - illuminate how the photographer thinks and works. Through fits and starts, reiterations and detours, the work evolves and matures, weaving in and out of the series for which Misrach has become known. Side-by-side, classic images and never-before-seen pictures flesh out the photographer's logic and complicate it at the same time. Ultimately, "Chronologies" is about time: The span of thirty years, the importance of time in each photograph, the chronology of a life within its time, and the book itself as a timepiece". Published essentially without text, it is the most comprehensive survey of the photographer's evocative work to date, and is yet another absolutely stunning photographic book from the Fraenkel Gallery. A brand new, pristine example of this exquisite undertaking additionally BOLDLY SIGNED "Richard Misrach" in black ink across the title page. 1-933045-28-0 Inventory Number: 025558
