Sinopsis
First published in 1992, Immediate Family has been lauded by critics as one of the great photography books of our time, and among the most influential. Taken against the Arcadian backdrop of her woodland summer home in Virginia, Sally Mann’s extraordinary, intimate photographs of her children reveal truths that embody the individuality of her own family yet ultimately take on a universal quality. With sublime dignity, acute wit, and feral grace, Mann’s pictures explore the eternal struggle between the child’s simultaneous dependence and quest for autonomy―the holding on and the breaking away. This is the stuff of which Greek dramas are made: impatience, terror, self-discovery, self-doubt, pain, vulnerability, role-playing, and a sense of immortality, all of which converge in these astonishing photographs. This reissue of Immediate Family is printed using new scans and separations from Mann’s original prints, which were taken with an 8-by-10-inch view camera, rendering them with a freshness and sumptuousness true to the original edition.

Hardcover. Condición: Very Good+. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Near Fine. 2nd Edition. Second edition/reissued edition, hardcover, presumed first printing with the copyright page stating First edition, but it also shows a number line running 20-12 so it may possibly be a later printing (see images). The book has a light lean to the binding, slight bumps to the spine ends and upper cover corners, a mild ding to the tail of the back cover near the fore corner, and a very small chip to the head of one leaf (Night-blooming Cereus/Rodney Glogger at 6:01). Otherwise, this is a solid, tight, clean Very Good+ copy in a Near Fine dust jacket, which has very mild bumps to the upper corners. The wraparound band is also present and in Near Fine condition. The jacket and band are wrapped in a Mylar cover, and additional images are available upon request. Nº de ref. del artículo: 106329
