Colin Westerbeck Book order

Colin Westerbeck’s criterion in choosing the 100 photographs published here was to seek out underappreciated work by great photographers and great work by underappreciated photographers. These 100 prints have all been drawn from the many thousands in the inventory of Howard Greenberg Gallery. Westerbeck was particularly drawn to Greenberg’s wide-ranging taste in both American and European photography of the twentieth century. The resulting book bears the name A Democracy of Imagery because Westerbeck believes all the works it contains should be considered equal. Each has been selected for its individuality — indeed, its idiosyncrasy — rather than its similarity to or compatibility with other images. In this spirit, works chosen for commentary are discussed individually. Westerbeck explores the background stories of particular photographs, as opposed to generalizing about the photos as a whole.

Dieser opulent ausgestattete Band bietet den ersten umfassenden Überblick über das fotografische Werk eines der bedeutendsten zeitgenössischen Künstler. Er gewährt faszinierende Einblicke in den kreativen Schaffensprozess und die Vielfalt der fotografischen Techniken, die Chuck Close über seine mehr als vier Jahrzehnte währende Karriere verwendet hat. Die Fotografie, sei es als Polaroidporträt oder in Großformat, dient Close nicht nur als Ausgangsmaterial für Gemälde und Drucke, sondern auch als Medium, das ihn inspiriert und fasziniert. Der Band präsentiert eindringliche Porträts von Künstlerfreunden wie Philip Glass und Hollywood-Stars wie Brad Pitt, zahlreiche Selbstporträts sowie Akt- und Naturstudien. Ein kenntnisreicher einführender Essay von Colin Westerbeck und ein aufschlussreiches Künstlergespräch mit Close bieten tiefere Einblicke in sein Gesamtwerk und den entscheidenden Einfluss der Fotografie auf seine Kunst. Die Reproduktionen sind in höchster Bildqualität und zeigen die künstlerischen Möglichkeiten der Fotografie, die für Close von zentraler Bedeutung sind.
