Synopsis

Born in the industrial north of England, Michael Kenna has lived in San Francisco since 1980. Representing the twenty-year period from 1974 to 1994, this first Nazraeli Press edition of Kenna's acclaimed retrospective features a larger format than previous editions, with high fidelity duotones printed 1:1 from original prints. Born in the industrial north of England, Michael Kenna has lived in San Francisco since 1980. His mysterious photographs, often made at dawn or in the dark hours of night, concentrate on the interaction between natural landscape and man-made structures. In her foreword, Ruth Bernhard describes Kenna's prints as "exquisitely seductive, spiritual experiences, akin to poetry and music." Representing the twenty-year period from 1974 to 1994, this first Nazraeli Press edition of Kenna's acclaimed retrospective features a larger format than previous editions, with high fidelity duotones printed 1:1 from original prints. An essay by Peter C. Bunnell considers Kenna's background and development.

Michael Kenna's work has been shown throughout the United States, Europe, Australia and Japan, and is in such permanent collections as The Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris; The Museum of Decorative Arts, Prague; The National Gallery of Art, Washington; and The Victoria and Albert Museum, London.
