The work of Californian photographer Larry Sultan (1946-2009) has become known as one of the central oeuvres of post-conceptual photography. Since 1972, he and Los Angeles-based photographer Mike Mandel have collaborated on numerous projects, including the controversial photo-essay "Evidence." This series consists of revealing images plucked from government and corporate archives, such as police and fire departments, aerospace and engineering firms. Later on, in 2004, Sultan published his provocative series "The Valley," an exposé of the adult film industry, in which the artist focused on the suburban neighborhoods and middle-class family homes that serve as pornographic sets. Including images from these series and more, this publication gives a comprehensive overview of Sultan's career as a conceptual photographer.

Encuadernación de tapa dura. Condition: Muy bueno. This retrospective of Californian photographer Larry Sultan (1946-2009) was published to accompany the first solo museum exhibition of his work in Germany. Within the context of American art, Sultan's work stands as one of the defining pillars of post-conceptual photography. After making a significant contribution to the history of contemporary photography with Mike Mandel through the groundbreaking 1977 series *Evidence*, Sultan attracted renewed attention at the beginning of the twenty-first century with *The Valley*, a photographic series offering a behind-the-scenes look at the adult film industry. Through these and other influential bodies of work, Sultan continually challenged the boundaries between documentary, fiction, and personal narrative, securing his place as one of the most important voices in contemporary photography.
