 A new, up-to-date retrospective on photography legend Lee FriedlanderOne of the masters of contemporary photography, Lee Friedlander has dedicated his career to the documentation of everyday life in the United States. His images are characterized by a composition that utilizes the urban geometry of storefronts and street signs—and later car windows and telephone poles—as a framing technique. This catalog, published in conjunction with a retrospective organized by the Fundación MAPFRE in Madrid, surveys the wide scope of Friedlander’s career from the 1960s to today. High-quality reproductions of all of the exhibited works are supplemented by text written by curator Carlos Gollonet and photographer Nicholas Nixon.
The volume serves as a comprehensive guide to Friedlander’s body of work, with personal insight provided through an interview between Maria Friedlander and gallery director Jeffrey Fraenkel, as well as a chronology of the artist’s life by his grandson Giancarlo T. Roma.
Lee Friedlander was born in Aberdeen, Washington, in 1934, and studied photography at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California. In 1956 he moved to New York City, which quickly became both the setting and subject of the majority of his work. Friedlander was represented alongside Diane Arbus and Garry Winogrand in the 1967 New Documents exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, now understood as a landmark event in American documentary photography. Friedlander still lives and works in New York, and is represented by the Fraenkel Gallery.

| | FROM THE ARTBOOK BLOG CORY REYNOLDS | DATE 8/2/2021 "Oregon" (1997) is reproduced from Lee Friedlander, the superb, comprehensive retrospective from RM and Fundación Mapfre, which sold out immediately upon its first printing in February 2021. We are very glad to have this generous 384-page survey back in stock! In his essay on Friedlander, photographer Nicholas Nixon writes, "His elegant, often hilarious frames, his affection for our American hopes, appetites, failures, delusions, dreams, and his exhaustive range of projects make his work like no one else’s. Every Friedlander picture—and print—is good to look at. His formal eye is unmatched by anyone in the history of photography. And behind all of this is his tremendous affection for, and forgiveness of, our foibles, our imperfections. Gently covering everything is love, of an ancient, bone-deep, undying kind. He loves photography as much as anyone I know." continue to blog | |  | EAKINS PRESS FOUNDATIONISBN: 9780871300881
