AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

RARE, WIDELY UNKNOWN CATALOGUE by Walker Evans from 1977 (!) -
in SENSATIONAL FRESH AND FLAWLESS, LIKE NEW AND UNREAD CONDITION.

VERY SIMPLE, BUT VERY BEAUTIFUL COVER LAYOUT.

Published on the occasion of the exhibition at Wellesley College Museum, Wellesley, Massachusetts in 1977 and 1978, presenting "Fortune" photographs of Walker Evans for the very first time.

"That such a vast body of work by one of America's greatest photographers has gone unexplored, indeed has never been taken seriously, shows how much fundamental research remains to be done on even the major artists despite the enormous popularity that the medium of photography has gained."
(Anne Gabhart, Director)

Walker Evans is one of the most important photographers of the 20th century and has influenced contemporary art beyond his medium until today. In 1938 the Museum of Modern Art in New York dedicated its first ever solo photography exhibition to Evans's work, and he has shaped America's image of itself particularly through his photographs of the Great Depression.

Walker Evans is famous for many great photobooks, like "American Photographs" from 1938 (Andrew Roth, The Book of 101 Books, page 98/99; Martin Parr, The Photobook, vol 1, page 114; The Open Book, Hasselblad Center, page 128/129; 802 photo books from the M.+M. Auer collection, page 263).
