Hardcover. Condition: LN. Dust Jacket Condition: LN. First Edition. Wayne F. Miller: Photographs 1942-1958 is the visual chronicle of the evolution of Wayne Forest Miller, a largely self-taught photographer who gladly left art school in 1942 to embrace the full spectrum of experience offered by the Second World War. Operating as a combat photographer under his own orders, and answerable only to Captain Edward Steichen, United States Navy, as to the results of his efforts, Lieutenant Miller photographed everything of interest that he encountered, from boredom to horror. Those images document an integral part of the American wartime experience and are secured in the National Archives in Washington D.C. What set Miller's work apart from many other war photographers was in part a peculiar empathy, whether creating images of our own soldiers or Japanese survivors of the atomic bomb; in his work he strove to "climb inside those people, and look through their eyes." That ethos is present in all of Miller's subsequent work, from his unique and comprehensive study (supported by the award of two Guggenheim grants) of the citizens of the Bronzeville neighborhood of postwar Chicago to his equally groundbreaking documentation a decade later of the daily life of an American family. This present volume offers some of Miller's finest imagery from several classic areas of his oeuvre, as well as little-known and heretofore unpublished works. Throughout the book Miller's own words illuminate the viewing experience with remarks that are by turns amusing, informative, and thought-provoking. Missives and quotations are reproduced from luminaries such as Eleanor Roosevelt, W. Eugene Smith, and the fabled Edward Steichen. Wayne F. Miller: Photographs 1942-1958 takes us to the midpoint of the career of one of the country's most important visual artists and ends with his tremendously successful series that came to be published as The World is Young. This long overdue volume is an irreplaceable addition to American heritage. Born in Chicago in 1918, Wayne F. Miller studied photography at the Art Center School of Los Angeles before joining the United States Navy in 1942, where he reached the rank of lieutenant. In the two decades following the war, Miller worked as a freelancer for Life, Fortune, Ladies' Home Journal, Collier's, and Ebony, received two Guggenheim fellowships, taught photography at the Institute of Design in Chicago, assisted Edward Steichen on the historic MoMA exhibit The Family of Man, and served as the president of Magnum Photos, among other achievements. He is the author of The World Is Young (Simon & Schuster, 1958) and Chicago's South Side, 1946-1948 (University of California Press, 2000). He lives with his wife Joan in California.…

Published in a small and limited print run as a softcover original only. None of the copies was sold to the public. There is no ISBN. The Exhibition Catalog is now scarce. An austerely elegant production by Stephen Daiter Gallery: Regular-sized volume format. Glossy black softcovers with white titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Photographs by Andre Kertesz. Essay by Robert Gurbo. Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper in the United States to the highest standards. Without DJ, as issued. Published on the occasion of the landmark exhibition of the same name held at Stephen Daiter Gallery Chicago from March 7 through May 24, 2014. Presents "Andre Kertesz: 'Raison d'Etre': Photographs From The Concerned Photographer Exhibitions 1967-69". The fifth, and most comprehensive, publication by Stephen Daiter Gallery on the photographic art and achievement of Andre Kertesz. His participation in the eponymous - and eleemosynary: The Concerned Photographer shows helped establish the International Center for Photography (ICP) - exhibitions was sweet confirmation of the photographer's stature as one of the greatest photographers of the time. By the time Kertesz immigrated to the United States in 1937, he was already a well-known artist/photographer in Europe, and (rightly) expected to be greeted with the critical acclaim and financial success that a figure of his stature deserved. Instead, his work was completely ignored. Kertesz was forced to eke out a living by doing commercial work for House & Garden Magazine. It was not until the prescient John Szarkowski gave him a one-man show at the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) in 1964, a posthumous-like, twenty-seven years later, that he finally achieved the recognition that he enjoys to this day. There are critics, scholars, dealers, and collectors who consider Kertesz to be the greatest photographer of the 20th century. Full stop. "The camera is my tool through which I try to give a reason to everything and to every happening around me. Every subject has a rhythm. To feel this rhythm is the raison d'etre" (Andre Kertesz). All great art compels us to slow down, tarry, take our time; transports us to another temporal reality and immerses us in it, which Andre Kertesz's best photographs do. An absolute "must-have" title for Andre Kertesz collectors. This title is a contemporary art photography classic. This is one of few copies of the Exhibition Catalog still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: This Exhibition Catalog was not sold to the public. It was given as a keepsake/souvenir to Andre Kertesz print collectors only. A scarce copy thus. 97 plates. Andre Kertesz's "Day of Paris" was selected as one of the greatest photography books in "The Photobook". One of the greatest photographers of the 20th century. A fine copy.

Printed on pristine-white, thick coated paper in the United States to the highest standards. Without DJ, as issued. Published on the occasion of the landmark retrospective exhibition of the same name held at Stephen Daiter Gallery Chicago from December 10, 2019 through February 29, 2020, the last show that the gallery held before temporarily closing its doors due to the coronavirus lockdown. Presents "Early And Unknown: Photographs From The Archive of Joseph Sterling". Some of the photographer's earliest work that demonstrate a level of technical and expressive accomplishment: Abstract studies, landscape, street photography, and portrait. Joseph Sterling hid them from public view. They were discovered only after his widow (Sterling died unexpectedly on November 12, 2010) finally showed them to Stephen Daiter Gallery. Closely identified with the Institute of Design (ID), Sterling's work is characterized by the technical perfection and formal experimentation identified with the Bauhaus-inspired Institute. His best-known work, "The Adolescent Comedy", departs from Bauhaus aesthetics, and the result is simply wonderful. An absolute "must-have" title for Joseph Sterling collectors. This title is a contemporary art photography classic.

Williams: Regular-sized volume format. Pictorial softcovers with titles on the cover, as issued. Photographs by Andre Kertesz. Essay, "The Mirror As Muse", by Robert Gurbo, Curator of the Andre Kertesz Estate. Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper in the United States to the highest standards. Without DJ, as issued. Published on the occasion of the exhibition of the same name held at the Stephen Daiter Gallery Chicago from November 26, 1999 through January 15, 2000. Presents "Andre Kertesz: The Mirror As Muse". Some of the photographer's celebrated portraits using a distorted mirror. They are among the most sensuous and elegant female nude photographs ever taken in the medium's history. The remarkable achievement of Andre Kertesz's "Distortion Series" is that the resulting images make one forget about the technical feat involved and is transported to another world, as the photographer intended, the closest any 20th-century artist/photographer has come to an Adult Wonderland Through A Looking Glass. An absolute "must-have" title for Andre Kertesz collectors. This title is a contemporary art photography classic. This is one of few copies of the Exhibition Catalog still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: This is a Catalog, not a monograph or full-fledged book. But it is a beauty and rarity for Andre Kertesz completists, plus an original Essay by Robert Gurbo, the Curator of the Andre Kertesz estate. A scarce copy thus. 13 duotone plates.

Soft cover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: None, As Issued. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 74 pages. Published in 2012. Exhibition Catalog. One of the most important exhibition catalogs on its subject in our time. The first and only edition. Published in a small and limited print run as a softcover original only. The Exhibition Catalog is now scarce. A brilliant production by Adam Holtzman: Regular-sized volume format. Pictorial softcovers with titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Photographs and text by Samantha Appleton, Vincent Cianni, Ashley Gilbertson, and Stephanie Sinclair. Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper in the United States to the highest standards. Without DJ, as issued. Published on the occasion of the exhibition of the same name held at the Stephen Daiter Gallery Chicago in 2012. Presents "Collateral Damage: The Human Face of War". Gripping images of war and its even more affecting aftermath. "Whether it is Vincent Cianni's black-and-white portraits of gay soldiers under the contradictory and compromised reign of 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell', Stephanie Sinclair's searing color scenes of Afghan women who have taken violence unto themselves and committed acts of self-immolation, or Samantha Appleton's war-zone shots, such as a jihadi in Iraq praying alone inside the walls of a bombed-out house, this powerful show fills in the picture of the realities of war beyond the battles. Collateral damage means much more than civilian casualties and properties destroyed. It is the effect of war on individuals that will last lifetimes" (Michael Weinstein). The book features a stunning multi-panel foldout of Ashley Gilbertson's panoramic photographs of empty rooms in American suburbia. They are the bedrooms of dead young American soldiers, in the homes where they were born and grew up, left "as is" by their grieving parents: An 18-year-old man's diplomas, awards, and trophies neatly and proudly on display. Another bedroom overflowing with yet another dead 18-year-old's regalia, sports posters, and girlie pin-ups, emblems of American adolescence and virility. A woman-soldier's room decorated with lush house plants. In a way that only photographs can evoke, they are about absence and presence at the same time: The young lives snuffed out and gone, their "human remains" left behind, helping keep their memory alive. An absolute "must-have" title for Samantha Appleton, Vincent Cianni, Ashley Gilbertson, and Stephanie Sinclair collectors. This title is a contemporary art photography classic. This is one of few copies of the Exhibition Catalog still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce copy thus. Lavishly illustrated with black-and-white and color plates. Four of the most brilliant American photographers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO PETER VAN AGTMAEL AND RYAN SPENCER REED TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 0985952903. no.…

Black wraps with embossed lettering, bw illustrated DJ, 256 pp, From the publisher: This book chronicles the evolution of a largely self-taught photographer who, fresh from art school, enlisted in the Navy in 1942 and spent four years capturing compelling, memorable images from the Second World War. Miller's work always contained a peculiar empathy, whether he was photographing American servicemen, Italian street urchins, or Japanese survivors of the atomic bomb, and that ethos extends to his subsequent landmark studies of the famous Bronzeville neighborhood in postwar Chicago and of the daily lives of an American family's children.…

An austerely elegant production by Stephen Daiter Gallery: Regular-sized volume format. Pictorial softcovers, as issued. Photographs and text by Dawoud Bey. Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper in the United States to the highest standards. The reproduction quality is exemplary in every respect. Without DJ, as issued. Published on the occasion of the exhibition of the same name held at Paris Photo from November 9 through 12, 2023. Presents Dawoud Bey's "Stony The Road". The third and final sequence of his American Slavery Project. It began with "Night Coming Tenderly, Black" and was followed by "In This Here Place". The present 16-plate sequence revisits the Virginia Slave Trail, which led to the hub of the vast slavery trade in Richmond, Virginia, where African men, women, and kids, held in animal cages, were transported, then sold off at auctions to their eventual white owners. Today, African-Americans (and whites) prefer to remember the "Happy Ending": The Underground Railroad, in sustained meditations in art, literature, music, and photography, because that was about heroic struggle, liberation, and freedom. The Virginia Slave Trail is - not just about - pure evil, an ineradicable stain in American history. In these ironically lyrical, serenely beautiful images of the James River and the Virginia Wild, Dawoud Bey reminds - and refuses to make us forget - where the slaves LITERALLY first set foot on American soil. The title comes from James Weldon Johnson's' great poem, "Lift Every Voice And Sing": "Stony the road we trod / bitter the chastening rod". Taken together, "Night Coming Tenderly, Black", "In This Here Place", and "Stony The Road", constitute a major American photographic achievement of our time. An absolute "must-have" title for Dawoud Bey collectors. This title is a contemporary art photography classic. As far as we know, this is the only copy of the Exhibition Catalog available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: This is neither a full-fledged book nor a monograph. But it is an indispensable sequence in Bey's oeuvre, presented in its 16-plate entirety, beautifully produced. A rare copy thus. 16 Plates. One of the most brilliant American photographers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER DAWOUD BEY TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). no.…

Printed on pristine-white, very thick coated stock paper in the United States to the highest standards. The reproduction quality is outstanding in every respect, one of the best books ever published by Stephen Daiter Gallery. Without DJ, as issued. Published on the occasion of the landmark retrospective exhibition by Stephen Daiter Gallery Chicago in 2022. Presents "Robert Stiegler: Photographs". His ground-breaking, masterly work, captured in one handsome volume. It is formally rigorous yet highly experimental work whose underlying, near-obsessive thread is the complex interaction between light and shadow, particularly its infinite possibilities. Stiegler received his Bachelor's Degree in 1960 and his Master's Degree in 1970 from the Institute of Design (ID), where he studied under Harry Callahan and Aaron Siskind. He was part of a now-iconic group of photographers who include Barbara Crane, Kenneth Josephson, Tom Rago, and Richard Nickel. Robert Stiegler died before his time in 1990 at the age of fifty-two. So it's a blessing that his work is in the Permanent Collections of the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) New York, the Art Institute of Chicago, the George Eastman House, the Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA) Chicago, and the University of Illinois Chicago. An absolute "must-have" title for Robert Stiegler collectors. This title is now collectible. As far as we know, this is the only copy available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: This is the best introduction to Robert Stiegler's work.

The "daylight" sequel-sequence to his ground-breaking "Night Coming Tenderly, Black" Series (on the Underground Railroad). Photographs of what remains today of the slave plantations in Louisiana: Exquisitely produced, brightly-lit, and powerful landscape photographs. The title comes from Toni Morrison's "Beloved". In a feat of artistic poise, the seemingly sunny photographs belie their somber subject - without overstating the latter, as is often the case when it comes to American slavery. It is the brilliant continuation of Dawoud Bey's career retrospective, "Seeing Deeply", released in September 2018. He subsequently continued the project with "In This Here Place" (2022), a stunning, contrapuntal recollection of day: Remnants of the earliest Louisiana slave plantations, shot in searing daylight. The final sequence, "Stony The Road" (2023), completes the project, presented at Paris Photo in 2023. Taken together, "Night Coming Tenderly, Black", "In This Here Place ", and "Stony The Road", constitute a major American photographic achievement of our time.

An austerely elegant production by Adam Holtzman: Regular-sized volume format. Pictorial softcovers with black titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Photographs by various contributors. Essay and Notes by Stephen Daiter. Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper in the United States to the highest standards. Without DJ, as issued. Published on the occasion of Art Basel held in Basel, Switzerland from June 16-20, 2010. Presents "The Revision of Vision: Photographs From The Institute of Design During The Harry Callahan-Aaron Siskind Years". The sequel and companion volume to "Teachers of The New Bauhaus". Some of the finest and most representative images of the Institute of Design (ID) during one of its most productive periods, the so-called Harry Callahan/Aaron Siskind Years. The title comes from S. I. Hayakawa, who asserted that "the language of vision determines, perhaps even more subtly and thoroughly than verbal language, the structure of our consciousness. To see in limited modes of vision is not to see at all". Hence the need for a "re-vision of vision", which became the mantra of the Institute of Design. The latter offered the most important and influential photography program in the United States from the 1930's through the 1960's. No other photography school or program since then has matched let alone surpassed the achievement of the school and its enduring influence. Few photographs have been produced with such spirit of innovation and adventure, formal experimentation, and sheer joy in the act of creating images that no one has ever seen before. Some of the photographers represented in the Catalog are a Who's Who of 20th-century photography: Yasuhiro Ishimoto, Ray Metzker, Marvin E. Newman, and Joseph Sterling as well as their guiding lights, Harry Callahan and Aaron Siskind. Less well-known but no less accomplished are Joseph D. Jachna, Thomas Knudtson, William Larson, Art Sinsabaugh, and Charles Swedlund, among others. An absolute "must-have" title for photography book collectors. This title is an art photography classic. As far as we know, this is the only copy available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: None of the copies was sold to the public. It was presented as a keepsake/souvenir to Art Basel collectors only. A rare copy thus. 57 plates. Some of the greatest photographers of the 20th century. A fine copy.
