About this Item
28pp, 14 b&w illustrations. Designed by Richard Hood. With a chronology, bibliography and exhibition checklist. This is the elegantly designed catalogue for Frederick Sommer's 1968 show of one hundred and twenty-seven photographs held at the Philadelphia College of Art. Printed locally at the renowned Falcon Press, it is the first comprehensive Sommer publication issued in conjunction with an exhibition. A handsome example of this exceedingly uncommon item showing some light scuffing and a few tiny spots of insect damage to its black printed wrappers. While neither signed nor inscribed, this example was acquired by us directly from the estate of the noted late Los Angeles artist / educator / collector Emerson Woelffer, and bears his discreet ownership label on the verso of the rear endpaper. Woelffer was close friends with both Sommer and curator Gerald Nordland, and is the subject of the full page image titled "Emerson Woelfer (sic) 1965" reproduced on page twenty-five of the catalogue.
