Seller's Description:
Fine in fine dust jacket. (MISRACH, RICHARD). Misrach, Richard, T.J. Clark & Richard Walker. RICHARD MISRACH: ON THE BEACH-SIGNED BY THE PHOTOGRAPHER. Signed by the Photographer. New York: Aperture Foundation, Inc., 2007. First Edition. Oblong Elephant Folio. Boards in Acetate Dust Jacket. Photography Monograph. Fine/Fine. 80pp, 38 color illustrations. Designed by Fabio Cutro and Dana Faconti. "Richard Misrach, one of today's contemporary masters, is renowned for his carefully considered, beautifully rendered epic works. "On the Beach"-a lavishly produced, oversized monograph, is the long-awaited publication of this spectacular series. The photographer hones in on our delicate relationship to the sea, using a gorgeous, slowly shifting color palette gleaned from changes in depth and tide; abstract patterns of waves and rippling water, and beaches both empty and cluttered. He carefully balances the minutiae of human gesture against the massive scale of the sea. In some images, a lone figure floats in a liquid field of brilliant turquoise-or in others, lies beached and partially buried. The details in the images are frequently ambiguous-are the figures relaxed or drained of life? Cavorting in the surf or panicking in the riptide? The balance is a fragile one between control and surrender to the elements. As Misrach says, the work is "suffused with a sense of the sublime, but it also begins to expose our vulnerability and fragility as human beings." A brand new, most handsome example of this spectacular production additionally SIGNED "Richard Misrach" in ink still in the publisher's printed shipping carton.
