Hard Cover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. First Printing. Quarter bound in publisher's dark blue cloth over blue boards, gilt lettering on spine, photographic endpapers. Comprising essays and 160 historical and contemporary photographs, this attractive volume offers an accessible record of Ellis Island--both…a "Gateway to America" through which 14 million immigrants passed, and an "Island of Tears," where other would-be Americans were turned away, families split up according to arbitrary and discriminatory quotas and individuals detained or deported on account of illness, politics and, occasionally, appearance. One piece, by novelist Norman Kotker, recounts the immigration experience: the long, uncomfortable sea voyage; the first view of the Statue of Liberty; the waiting, scrutinization, tests, paperwork and, finally, the triumphant ferry ride to Manhattan. Shirley Burden explores an abandoned Ellis Island of the 1950s. Aperture editor Charles Hagen describes the symbolic dimensions of the gateway, while architectural historian Robert Twombly assesses the restored landmark. Included also are affecting memories of immigrants. Both the volume and the unclipped dust jacket are in perfect, pristine condition; unread, unmarked, tight, square, and clean. AS NEW/AS NEW. Color and B&W Photographs. 4to 11" - 13" tall. 152 pp.

Hardcover. Condition: Sehr gut. 1. Auflage. Z : 556 pp., 844 ills. half cloth 24.80 x 32.60 cm - One of the most continuously influential figures of the past half century, Joan Jonas (*1936) was among the first artists to embrace the forms of video, performance and installation. This extensively illustrated and authoritative boo…k, containing hundreds of full-color images, presents the definitive collection of Jonas' work. The first career-spanning monograph of the multimedia pioneer, it covers more than 40 years of performances, films, videos, installations, texts and video sculptures. In addition to documentation of the artist's crucial projects, In the Shadow a Shadow includes individual essays by Douglas Crimp, Barbara Clausen and Johanna Burton, a major survey text by Joan Simon, texts by Joan Jonas about several of her seminal works, as well as unpublished photographs and drawings from Jonas' archives.
