Weber, Bruce (Photographer) & Burroughs, William S. (Contribution).
BRUCE WEBER ("BW").
Tokyo, Japan: Treville Company Limited, 1991. Softcover. First Edition/First Printing. Unpaginated. Fine. Exhibition catalog. Now considered a late-modern erotic photography classic. The first and only edition. Limited Edition of 5000 copies. A stunningly beautiful production by Dmitri Levas: Oversize-volume format with magnificent softcover design. The integral DJ folds out into a panorama of dozens of miniature-sized photographic reproductions, many of which do not appear in the book as full-size images. Photographs by Bruce Weber. Text by William Burroughs. Printed on thick stock paper in Tokyo, Japan to the very highest standards. Without DJ, as issued. Published on the occasion of the eponymous exhibition held at the Fahey/Klein Gallery Los Angeles in May, 1991, which travelled on to the Parco Gallery Tokyo in November, 1991. Presents the photographer's finest and most representative images during his meteoric rise, a brilliant career in commercial, fashion, and art photography that has made Bruce Weber one of the most successful and celebrated living photographers. Full-page black-and-white images by a masterly artist whose trademark style is showcased in this landmark exhibition. The photographer's vision of the all-American male in all his naked beauty and idealized glory as well as unforgettable celebrity snapshots and portraits make this catalog one of BW's finest achievements. A "must-have" title for Bruce Weber collectors. This is an Import title, was not distributed in the United States, and has been out-of-print for a very long time. This is one of very few copies still available online and is in unusually fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A very scarce copy thus. Bruce Weber's "O Rio de Janeiro", the sexiest photography book ever published, was selected as one of the "Seminal Photography Books" in the "Book of 101 Books". One of the finest living American photographers. A fine collectible copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER BRUCE WEBER TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 0821218883. $250.00 |
