Soft cover. Condición: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 44 pages. Published in 2002. Catalog of the artist/photographer's body of work. The first and only edition. Underwritten by the Independence Foundation, none of the copies was commercially distributed.

An austerely elegant production by Susan Fenton: Oversize-volume format. Gray softcovers with silver titles printed on the cover. Photographs by Susan Fenton. Essay by Gerald Silk. Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper in the United States to the highest standards. Without DJ, as issued. Presents Susan Fenton's portrait-photographs, all of them original hand-painted silver-gelatin prints. "The black-and-white prints are developed on fiber-based paper, toned, and then meticulously painted with photographic oil pigments, layer upon layer" (Gerald Silk). "The work is not about the individual but more about the mood and emotional response or formal composition: A sense of the unknown, ambivalence, mystery, solemnity" (Susan Fenton). Fenton enjoys a cult following, and her work is in the Permanent Collection of the Art Institute of Chicago and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, among other major venues of cutting-edge contemporary art. An absolute "must-have" title for Susan Fenton collectors. This title is a contemporary art photography classic. This is one of few copies of the Catalog still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce copy thus. Lavishly illustrated with color plates. One of the most brilliant American artist/photographers of our time. A fine copy. no.
