|   |   | Mitch Epstein: RecreationEdited by Susan Bell, Ryan Spencer.
Epstein’s classic portrayal of boredom and excess, alienation and possibility in late 20th-century America—massively expanded in a reworked editionBetween the 1970s and ’90s, Mitch Epstein (born 1952) photographed the rituals of excess and alienation, jubilance and desire that defined late 20th-century America. These pictures marked the beginning of his photographic inquiry into the American psyche and landscape that has now lasted half a century. Recreation captures the vitality of modern America in a pre-smartphone, less self-conscious time. In these early works, Epstein’s wit reigns, along with his singular way of making the mundane startle and the extraordinary appear to perfectly fit in. This new edition expands on the original Recreation book published by Steidl in 2005. More than a third of these photographs have never been published, and all of them have been reworked with fidelity to the pictorial quality of the films of the era.
PRAISE AND REVIEWSThe Parallax Review Aaron M. Cohen The dynamic and inspired photographs speak for themselves, and the sequencing brings everything together. AnOther Lydia Figes Evokes oppositional and unlikely moments...Indeed there is something wholly uninhibited about his subjects in Recreation. i-D Rosen Sara In 2005, he published the landmark 2005 monograph, Recreation (Steidl), which he now revisits, expands and remasters for a fascinating portrait of America between the 70s and 90s during the final years of analogue life. L'Oeil de la Photographie Epstein’s wit reigns, along with his singular way of making the mundane startle and the extraordinary appear to perfectly fit in. Esquire Bill Shapiro His psychologically probing pictures document our many leisure activities, but they also find something deeper: the ache of fun—those awkward, alienating, uncomfortable moments at the edge of the good times. |

| | FROM THE ARTBOOK BLOG CORY REYNOLDS | DATE 8/19/2022"Gay Head, Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts II" (1991) is reproduced from new release Mitch Epstein: Recreation—a book by one of our favorite living photographers, and a book that goes eighty-four for eighty-four, as far as reproducing only great pictures. A much-expanded edition of Epstein's classic photobook of 2005, also published by Steidl, this volume contains eighteen additional photographs, 1973–1992. Thirty-four photographs are previously unseen. "Among the first to introduce color photography into the realm of fine art," Erica Ackerberg writes in The New York Times Book Review, "Epstein captured individuals and groups in a variety of downtime activities: a couple pausing to window-shop outside a boutique in New Orleans, a raunchy performance at a Los Angeles nightclub, a group of men peeking into a Midtown Manhattan construction site, nude beachgoers on Martha’s Vineyard. His photographs evoke an unusual array of emotions; they’re funny and melancholy, contemplative, nostalgic and a bit lonely. Together these scenes paint a portrait of late-20th-century anomie, of a world without filters, selfies or self-consciousness." continue to blog | | | SteidlISBN: 9783969993361 USD $75.00 | CAD $115Pub Date: 12/31/2024 Forthcoming
