Neuware; original eingeschweisst; Rechnung mit MwSt.; new item, still sealed; Bestellungen bis 15 Uhr werden am gleichen Werktag verschickt. ; A natural chronicler of all things uniquely American, photographer Lee Friedlander here puts his lens to the work of Frederick Law Olmsted (1822-1903), designer of many of this country's most iconic public landscapes and the father of North American landscape architecture. Olmsted was responsible for a staggering number of America's greatest parks, including the Niagara reservation (North America's oldest state park), Washington Park, the Biltmore Estate, the U.S. Capitol building landscape and entire parkway systems in Buffalo and Louisville. His most famous work remains New York City's Central Park, a pioneering egalitarian gesture that was very unusual at the time for its ready accessibility. This book, published to coincide with The Metropolitan Museum of Art's 2008 exhibition, compiles 89 photographs made by Friedlander in Olmsted's public parks and private estates. This stunning collection of rich tritones celebrates the complex, idiosyncratic picture-making of one of the country's greatest living photographers, and also arrives upon the 150 year anniversary of Olmsted's 1858 design for Central Park. Rambling across bridges and through open meadows and dense undergrowth, Friedlander locates a pure pleasure in Olmsted's designs--in the meticulous stonework, the balance of exposure to shade, and in the mature, weather-beaten trees that attest to the durability of Olmsted's vision.; ISBN 9781933045733 , ISBN: 1933045736

From the publisher: "Lee Friedlander has documented a lifetime in photographs, creating a thick and diverse body of work which has left an indelible imprint on the medium he helped to fortify. Among his most important subjects - once at the beginning of his career, and now thirty years later - is himself. With the photographic cornerstone of a monograph, Self-Portrait, originally published in 1970, Friedlander created an archetype for self-imaging. Three decades later Friedlander re-acquainted himself with the far side of the camera."***************Fraenkel Gallery, San Francisco. 2000. Erstausgabe. Originalausgabe.
