Antanas Sutkus - Antanas Sutkus - 1997

A great early title of the well-known Lithuanian photographer Antanas Sutkus.

The book is in good condition, inside clean and unmarked, with a firm binding and pages without creases. The outside is also in good condition; the rear cover is a bit wrinkled but this does not affect the interior. The dustjacket is complete, showing some signs of wear along the edges and on the surface.

Born in Kluoniškiai, Lithuania, in 1939, Antanas Sutkus earned a degree in journalism in Vilnius and worked for daily newspapers before co-founding the Lithuanian Photographers’ Association in 1969, which he led for many years. Sutkus was president of the Union of Lithuanian Art Photographers upon its establishment in 1996 and has been its honorary president since 2009. He is the recipient of the Lithuanian National Culture and Arts Award and the Order of the Lithuanian Grand Duke Gediminas, an Erna and Victor Hasselblad Foundation Grant, and the 2017 Erich Salomon Award from the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Photographie. Sutkus has exhibited extensively, including his 2018 retrospective at the National Gallery of Art in Vilnius, held on the hundredth anniversary of the Republic of Lithuania.
