Book
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Fotofolio, New York, 1999. Pictorial Boards. Condition: Fine. First Edition Thus. 120pp, 117 tritone and 19 color illustrations. For years, Bill Owens' 1973 "Suburbia" was out of print and a much-sought-after cult classic. In 1999, it was re-issued in a revised hardbound edition containing a new essay by David Halberstam along with numerous vintage color images published here for the first time. This amazing sociological dissection of the Northern California suburban sprawl of the late sixties and early seventies is truly one of the great American photography books of the last quarter of the 20th Century. A most handsome example of the now unavailable expanded 1999 Fotofolio edition (whose 1973 predecessor is cited on page 24 of Martin Parr and Gerry Badger's "The Photobook: A History Volume II", pages 296-297 of The Hasselblad Center's "The Open Book", and pages 224-225 of "The Book of 101 Books").

paperback. Condition: Molto buono (Very Good). Fotografie e testo di Bill Owens . Cm 25x25. pp. 108. . Molto buono (Very Good). . Prima edizione (First edition, first printing). Libri fotografici 2 [Parr, Badger, 2006] Parr Martin, Badger Gerry, The Photobook: A History II. London, Phaidon 2006. Suburbia fu uno dei più popolari e riusciti fotolibri americani degli anni Settanta. Bill Owens fotografò il suo vicinato in un paese della California, lasciando che fossero gli stessi personaggi fotografati a parlare. Infatti riportò sottoforma di didascalie le brevi frasi pronunciate dai suoi soggetti, che con poche parole riuscivano ad esprimere moltissimo: ''Siamo molto felici. I nostri bambini sono in salute, mangiamo buon cibo e abbiamo una casa davvero accogliente''. Nato come un progetto personale svolto mentre Owens lavorava per un giornale californiano locale e seguiva un corso di antropologia visiva, questo fotolibro dimostra perfettamente che per i documentari di stampo sociologico testo e immagini funzionino molto meglio che le immagini da sole.(Martin Parr and Gerry Badger, The Photobook. A History II, 2006, pp. 24). Prima edizione (First edition, first printing). Book.

First Edition Signed
paperback. 3 volumes, all in wrappers, each volume signed by Bill Owens and dated 1978. All housed in a black cloth slipcase. Each volume measures 10 x 10 inches. Bill Owens is an American photographer, photojournalist, brewer and editor living in Hayward, California. The recipient of a Guggenheim fellowship in 1976 and two NEA Grants, he is best known for his photographs of suburban domestic scenes taken in the East Bay and published in his book Suburbia in 1973. The first in a series of books Owens published dedicated to the American dream. Our Kind of People (1975) followed as an examination of political, religious, scholastic, and sports groups, while Working: I Do It for the Money (1977), which looked at people in nine-to-five day jobs. After a period of almost twenty years, during which time he abandoned photography and operated a successful brewery, Owens continues to examine American society through digital photography and movie making. Suburbia is a very good plus copy with the photographer's gold sticker affixed with his phone number. Our Kind of People is a very good plus copy with same gold sticker, and Working is a very good plus copy sans gold sticker. The black slipcase is very good plus to near fine.

Mit Owens eigenem Ex libris aus Goldpapier auf Vortitel sowie seine eigenhändige datierte (1979) Signatur daneben. Bill Owens (* 25. September 1938 in San José, Kalifornien) ist ein US-amerikanischer Fotograf, auch Pressefotograf, Brauer und Editor. Er lebt in Hayward, Kalifornien, erhielt 1976 ein Guggenheim-Stipendium und ist zweifacher National-Endowment-for-the-Arts-Gewinner. Owens ist vor allem durch seine Vorort-Fotografien, die häusliche Szenen aus dem East Bay bei San Francisco zeigen, bekannt. Er veröffentlichte die Fotos 1973 in seinem Buch Suburbia. Laut New York Times ist "Bill Owens [ ] einer der überaus wenigen Fotografen, der Bilder von Menschen in den Vororten in einem großen Umfang geschossen hat. Es gibt eine sehr große Anzahl an Fotografen, die durch Fotos in Städten ihr Ansehen gewannen und eine kleinere, aber beeindruckende Anzahl Menschen, die ihren Namen durch Studien in ländlichen Gemeinschaften bekannt machten, aber Herr Owens wird als einziger mit dem Vorortleben in den Trakt-Wohnsiedlungen, in denen 60 Millionen Amerikaner in den Jahrzehnten nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg lebten, assoziiert".
