Author: Friedlander, LeeThis volume presents works spanning 60 years of the artist’s exploration of the built environment in the American social landscape. Collectively these photographs add to one of the broadest and most nuanced visual explorations of America, filled with the kind of intellectual humour and observation for which he has become celebrated. This is an essential collection of one of Friedlander’s lifelong subjects, a new classic title in his quest to photograph the ever-changing social landscape.Along the way, of course, Friedlander has expanded our ideas of what constitutes real estate, just as he continues to compel us to reconsider how photography reveals essential aspects of our lives over time. The mirror that Lee Friedlander holds up to us is his mirror and everything reflected in it has the common traits of his way of seeing—each picture is definitively a Friedlander picture.ISBN 9780871300959.
