Helen Levitt: Spectrum-International Prize for Photography of the Foundation of Lower Saxony, 2008
Seller: BWS BKS, Ferndale, NY, U.S.A.
Seller rating 2 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: New. "If ever anyone was born to be a photographer, Helen Levitt was. Looking at these pictures triggers that tingling feeling you get from photographs by artists like Lartigue, Kertà sz, and Cartier-Bresson: a feeling that the camera is less an expertly operated tool than the seamless extension of a mind and body that are preternaturally alert to the world." (The New York Times) "Levittâs photographs, like her city, though occasionally they rise to beauty, are mostly too quick for it. Instead, they have the quality of frozen street-corner conversation: she went out, saw something wonderful, came home to tell you all about it, and then, frustrated, said, âYou had to be there,â and you realize, looking at the picture, that you were." (Adam Gopnik, The New Yorker) Helen Levitt, the visual poet laureate of New York City, published her magnum opus Crosstown in 2001 to great acclaim. The book immediately sold out, never to be reprinted, making it a classic volume of street photography for the cognoscenti. Since then, Levitt has authored two smaller volumes, Here and There and Slide Show, her first monograph exclusively featuring her little-known color work, which have garnered her accolades from around the globe. Most recently, she was named the 2008 recipient of the SPECTRUM International Prize for Photography of the Foundation of Lower Saxony, an honor previously bestowed on such luminaries as Robert Adams and Sophie Calle. In Helen Levitt, released in conjunction with a retrospective exhibition at Germanyâs Sprengel Museum Hannover, the esteemed photographer presents her most iconic works, intermixed with never-before-seen color work. Combining seven decades of New York City street life with her seminal work in Mexico City, Helen Levitt features the master works of an incomparable career. Seller Inventory # 77038
