Salman Rushdie wrote:
'In a historical period in which many people are making such great efforts to conceal the truth from the mass of the people, an artist like Taryn Simon is an invaluable counter-force. Democracy needs visibility, accountability, light… Somehow, Simon has persuaded a good few denizens of hidden worlds not to scurry for shelter when the light is switched on, as cockroaches and vampires do, but to pose proudly for her invading lens…'

GREAT, IMPORTANT PHOTOBOOK TITLE:
Martin Parr, The Photobook, volume 3, page 142

Published on the occasion of an exhibition at The Whitney Museum of American Art, March-June, 2007.

EXCELLENT, VERY FRESH CONDITION.

This is an EXCLUSIVE OFFER for all friends, followers and customers of 5Uhr30.com, Cologne, Germany.
All lots in this auction are from a SPECTACULAR, PRIVATE PHOTOBOOK COLLECTION that I have in commission since last year and which I will gradually offer EXCLUSIVELY on Catawiki.

'An American Index of the Hidden and Unfamiliar reveals objects, sites, and spaces that are integral to America's foundation, mythology, or daily functioning but remain inaccessible or unknown to a public audience. These unseen subjects range from radioactive capsules at a nuclear waste storage facility to a black bear in hibernation to the art collection of the CIA. Simon has stated that she "wanted to confront the divide between public and expert access.'
The book has 70 colour plates and a foreword by Salman Rushdie. Ronald Dworkin wrote a commentary, while curators Elisabeth Sussman and Tina Kukielski of the Whitney Museum of American Art wrote an introduction. It was published by Steidl and exhibited at the Whitney Museum of American Art in 2006. In 2007 it was on view at the Museum für Moderne Kunst in Frankfurt, Germany. She discussed the project with photography historian Geoffrey Batchen for the 8th volume of Museo.'
