Published on the occasion of the landmark retrospective exhibition of the same name held at the Art Institute of Chicago in 2002. Presents "Taken By Design: Photographs From The Institute of Design, 1937-1991". The best book on the photographic art, aesthetics, and achievement of the Institute of Design, popularly known as ID, and now universally recognized as the greatest school of photography ever established in the United States. "Examines the changing nature of photography over the critical period of the American century. Traces the formal and abstract camera experiments under Harry Callahan and Aaron Siskind, which aimed at achieving a new kind of photographic subjectivity. Showcases works by Barbara Crane, Yasuhiro Ishimoto, Joseph Jachna, Kenneth Josephson, Gyorgy Kepes, Thomas Knudtson, Nathan Lerner, Ray K. Metzker, Marvin E. Newman, Richard Nickel, Arthur Siegel, Art Sinsabaugh, among many others. An essential work for anyone interested in the history of American photography" (Publisher's blurb). An absolute "must-have" title for Institute of Design and photography book collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed in various pens on the title page by (from top to bottom) : David Travis, Barbara Crane, Marvin E. Newman, Yasuhiro Ishimoto, Keith F. Davis, Ray K. Metzker, Kenneth Josephson, Joseph D. Jachna, Elizabeth Siegel, Thomas Rago, Joseph Sterling, Alan Cohen, and Roslyn Banish. They all signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. The ten photographers were some of the surviving and most distinguished graduates of ID at the time of the book's publication. It is not an exaggeration to say that their signatures represent a permanent trace of the Institute of Design, their deceased colleagues, and a whole era of American photographic history. Fifteen years later, in 2017, many of them (notably Ishimoto, Metzker, Jachna, and Sterling) have since died. This title is a contemporary art photography classic. As far as we know, this is the only such multi-signed copy (with Souvenir Material) of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A rare signed copy thus. 300 plates. Some of the greatest photographers of the 20th century. A fine collectible copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER COPY OF THIS TITLE IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 0226811670.

"It is sometimes incorrectly thought that genocide means the complete and definitive destruction of a race or people. The Genocide Convention, however, adopted by the General Assembly of the United Nations on December 9, 1948, defines genocide as any killings on the basis of race, or, in its specific words, as 'killing members of the group.' Any intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, racial, ethnic or religious group is genocide, according to the convention." "We maintain, therefore, that the oppressed Negro citizens of the United States, segregated, discriminated against and long the target of violence, suffer from genocide as the result of consistent, conscious, unified policies of every branch of government." "We believe that in issuing this document we are discharging an historical responsibility to the American people, as well as rendering a service of inestimable valuye to progressive mankind.We speak of progressive mankind because a policy of discrimination at home must inevitably create racist commodities for export abroad - must inevitably tend toward war." (William L. Patterson, National Executivbe Secretary, Civil Rights Congress).
