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offers some of Miller's finest imagery from several classic areas of his oeuvre, as well as little-known and heretofore unpublished works.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.

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 Exhibi…tion 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.

Hardbound. Condition: NF. 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. Mil…ler'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.

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.

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.

Published on the occasion of the exhibition of the same name held at the Stephen Daiter Gallery Chicago from May through July, 2019. Presents Marvin E. Newman's "On The Avenues". Some of the finest and most representative images by the one photographer who mastered the aesthetics and practice of two radically different schools of art photography: The Photo League (its documentary, moral humanism) and the Institute of Design (its Bauhaus-principled, experimental formalism). Newman, who received the very first Master's Degree from ID, "embodies the best characteristics of these institutions: A compassion for his human subjects and an exceptional sense of space and design in his experimental photographs" (Stephen Daiter). "Celebrates Newman's career with over forty vintage black-and-white and color pieces. Features experimental images of inverted sidewalk shadows and manhole covers as well as documentary work from his time in Chicago and upon his return to New York. On view are two more poetic Series from his travels in 1960, of Paris prostitutes and of a small Alaskan village" (Publisher's blurb). 2019 was a Milestone Year for the photographer: It marked the 20th year of his inaugural exhibition at Stephen Daiter Gallery, the 70th year since he arrived at the Institute of Design, and the 100th-Year Anniversary of the founding of Bauhaus in Germany (the latter leading to major retrospectives, newly published books in Europe and the United States, and full-fledged profiles in the New York Times and New Yorker Magazine). Marvin E. Newman also turned 92 years old on December 5, 2019. An absolute "must-have" title for Marvin E. Newman 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 a 46-plate Catalog, NOT a full-fledged monograph. But its exemplary production values make it eminently collectible for completists.

Published on the occasion of the exhibition of the same name held at the Stephen Daiter Gallery Chicago from May 5 through July 29, 2017. Re-presents Susan Meiselas' "Nicaragua: '78-79". A dazzling and profoundly moving selection of the photographer's cinematic coverage of the Nicaraguan Revolution: Full-page color photographs that tell their compelling and dramatic story solely through still images. "An extraordinary narrative of a nation in turmoil. Traces the evolution of the popular resistance that led to the insurrection, culminating with the triumph of the Sandinista Revolution in 1979" (Publisher's blurb). A graduate of Harvard University, Susan Meiselas taught at various public schools before joining The Magnum Agency in 1976. She burst into national and international prominence with her very first book, "Carnival Strippers", a collection of black-and-white photographs of professional strippers in New England states. Her shift to color represents an achievement of the first rank in the history of photojournalism. Indeed, very few have used color to capture spontaneous events with such sensitivity, beauty, and overwhelming power: "Color photographs of this kind inevitably give way to gore or to the aestheticization of violence. Here, instead, we have enormous control, a sense of the everyday, and a vitality rooted in an active community" (John Berger). An absolute "must-have" title for Susan Meiselas 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 a copy of the Exhibition Catalog, which reproduces the all-new prints from Susan Meiselas' "Nicaragua" sequence. Should NOT be confused with the book of the same title. Acquired in their entirety by a major collector, the reproductions of the prints are superior in terms of production values to the original book, making this Catalog eminently collectible for completists. A scarce copy thus. 18 color plates. One of the most brilliant photographers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER SUSAN MEISELAS TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). no.

Add to basketSoft cover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: None, As Issued. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 37 pages. Published in 2012. Rare Barack Obama, Dawoud Bey, and Marc PoKempner collectible item. Exhibition/Auction Catalog. The first and only edition. Published in a small and limited print run as a softcover original only. There…is no ISBN. The Exhibition Catalog is now rare. Published on the occasion of the fund-raiser exhibition held at the Stephen Daiter Gallery in July, 2012. Presents "Artists For Obama: Exhibition Sale And Auction To Support The Re-Election of President Barack Obama". Fundraiser by artists for the beloved President. Thirty-six art and photographic works are shown in the catalog out of almost 100 pieces that were donated by artists, photographers, Chicago galleries, dealers, and collectors to raise funds for President Obama's re-election campaign versus Mitt Romney. All of the proceeds were given to President Obama's campaign. Aside from donating works, Stephen Daiter Gallery and other (passionate) volunteers donated their space, time, and effort so no one was paid (as the people who work for political campaigns or charitable causes/foundations are). Artists often make political statements. But with few exceptions, they seldom take an explicitly partisan stand. This was one such partisan issue that united numerous artists, whose donation of their work amounted to making a statement and taking a stand. The artists are a Who's Who of contemporary art and photography, too numerous to mention here. They include foreign artists with deep ties to America such as the late great Yasuhiro Ishimoto, among many others. Two examples: The cover shows a formal portrait of President Obama by Dawoud Bey. And there is a stunning black-and-white photograph by Marc PoKempner that deserves to be better-known: "Alley Ball, 1995", which shows a very young (and completely unknown) Obama playing basketball with a group of kids during his first campaign, as a candidate for the Illinois Legislature, more than ten years before he rose to national prominence and eventually, the Presidency. An absolute "must-have" collectible, not just memorabilia, item for Barack Obama, Dawoud Bey, and Marc PoKempner collectors. This title is now collectible. As far as we know, this is the only copy of the Exhibition/Auction available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A rare copy thus. 36 black-and-white and color plates. Some of the greatest artists and photographers of our time. A fine copy.

An austerely elegant production by Adam Holtzman: Regular-sized volume format. Glossy pictorial softcovers with black titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Photographs by Andre Kertesz. Essay by Paul Berlanga. Printed on pristine-white, uncoated stock paper in the United States to the highest standards. Without DJ, as issued. Published on the occasion of the AIPAD Photography Show held in New York City from March 26-29, 2009. Presents "Andre Kertesz: New York: 'The Lost Years' ". Reproductions of Kertesz's vintage prints, complete with handwritten and stamped information exactly as they appear on the prints themselves. The images are presented on the right-hand side, the captions en face. 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. Kertesz called his long American obscurity, "The Lost Years", when instead of giving up, he persevered and "developed a body of work that visually distilled his isolation and anxieties, creating subdued and poetic photographs. Photographs that asked New York to slow down and hear a whisper among the shouts. And he remained true to his vision" (Paul Berlanga). 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 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. 34 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.
