AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
From my private photo and art book collection I am offering for sale:
An almost perfectly preserved copy of
Christopher Wool
ABSENT WITHOUT LEAVE, 1993 published by DAAD Berlin.
First edition, very good condition, except for a small surface tear on the top of the dust jacket spine, see photos.
336 pages, with 175 black-and-white photos, dust jacket,
Edition of 1000 copies
(see Parr/Badger, The Photobook: A History Volume III, p. 167)
Christopher Wool has long been one of the most important artists worldwide in painting and sculpture, but he has also repeatedly used the camera as a medium. During a stay in Berlin as a DAAD fellow in 1993, Wool created one of the radical artist books. His raw, almost xerox-copy-like photographs, taken during various trips, generate, in their brisk, comment-free sequence, a dark, blurred, and unplaceable atmosphere and deliberately run counter to photographers’ pursuit of the “perfect photo.”
