Gregory Crewdson - Fireflies - 2007
MINT condition, still sealed. 128 pages, oblong hardcover in embossed boards, 12.25" by 9.25". Lushly printed book by contemporary photographer Gregory Crewdson, an ode to summer pleasures and memories, comprised of 61 full-page tritone plates taken outside his family's summer home in rural Massachusetts. Rare.
In the summer of 1996, Crewdson spent two solitary months at his family's cabin in Becket, Massachusetts. Using both small- and medium-format cameras, he obsessively photographed the fireflies that came alive at dusk each evening. Crewdson was drawn to the flickering lights, in part, by the underlying impossibility of capturing their elusive beauty in pictures. This luxurious volume, featuring 61 full-page tritone reproductions, calls to mind many of the hallmarks of Crewdson's oeuvre, from the sense of wonder in the nocturnal landscape, to the focus on light as a narrative event, to the fascination with nature as a psychological mystery. Although consistent in terms of their subject matter, these photographs demonstrate a wide scope of visual expression ranging from almost pure abstraction to more idyllic representations of the natural landscape.
