Synopsis
Robert Stivers has explored the nexus of desire and memory in photographs that are hauntingly erotic. The images published here also possess a mysterious, melancholy feeling, and often turn on eroticism and death. For Stivers, the image is most often about the human figure in space, modeled by light, often reduced to the simplest forms. Embracing the abstract potential of the photograph, the artist mines the subconscious in a performative act of seeing and recording. This, the artist's first book, offers a contemplative visual journey. The photographs are accompanied by an illuminating essay by A.D. Coleman.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 147 pages. Published in 1997. The artist/photographer's breakthrough debut collection. Now considered a contemporary art photography classic. The first and only edition. Published in a small and limited print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. An austerely elegant production by James Crump and David Skolkin: Oversize-volume format. Black cloth boards with titles embossed on cover and spine, as issued. Photographs by Robert Stivers. Essay by A. D. Coleman. Printed in Novatone on pristine-white, thick uncoated stock paper by EBS in Verona, Italy to the highest standards. In pictorial DJ with titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Presents Robert Stivers' " Photographs". His brilliant debut: A suite of Pictorialist-inspired photographs that register and evoke Being and Time. Being an artist (rather than a photographer), Stivers rejects the focus, clarity, and sharpness of ALL photographs, opting instead for almost spectral presences - which you can still see - that "extends, deepens, and complicates the themes of mystery and movement, sensuality and spirituality, and the search for individual identity. He juxtaposes the human figure with architectural images, thus pointing to the reciprocity between consciousness and a sense of place that is central to an understanding of the self. Breathtaking images that are wonderfully coherent and at once haunting and mysterious, deeply spiritual, and perfectly choreographed" (Publisher's blurb). An absolute "must-have" title for Robert Stivers collectors. This copy is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed, dated, and inscribed in black ink-pen on the title page by the artist/photographer: "Martha, Happy Reunion! Love, Robert Stivers, 11/98". It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. The recipient, Martha Schneider, who is named, is an important figure in the art and photography world, and is unmistakably known to the photographer, who presented her the copy in person. This title is a contemporary art photography classic. As far as we know, this is the only such signed and inscribed copy of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing available online and despite its imperfection (considerable rubbing on the DJ) is still in fine condition overall: Every single internal page is clean, crisp, and bright. It is priced accordingly. A rare signed copy thus. 44 plates. One of the most brilliant artist/photographers of our time. A fine copy. ISBN 0965728005. Signed by Author. Seller Inventory # 19346
