SCARCE PHOTOBOOK - WITH THE VERY SCARCE ORIGINAL DUSTJACKET.

Since 1988 Larry Sultan has returned time and again to photograph on porn sets in Los Angeles`s San Fernando Valley - the Silicon(e) Valley of the porn industry.

Sultan is famous for his excellent photobooks like "Evidence" (Martin Parr, The photobook, vol 2, page 220/221) or "Pictures at home" (Martin Parr, The photobook, vol 2, page 302). 

In American art discourse, Sultan’s work is one of the central planks of post-conceptual photography. After making an important contribution to the recent history of photography together with Mike Mandel back in 1977 through the media-critical series Evidence, Sultan created another major stir at the beginning of the 21st century with his peek behind the scenes of the porno industry in the photo series The Valley.

Scalo, Zurich, 2004. First edition, first printing. 

Hardcover in linen with dustjacket. 340 x 300 mm. 127 pages. 68 colour photos. Photos: Larry Sultan. Text in English. 

Condition:
Book inside fresh and clean with no marks and with no foxing; lightly yellowed at the edges (like so often, so looks like a general material problem, pages are smoke-free). Book outside like new and unread (protected by the jacket). Dustjacket complete with no tears, with no taped tears and with no missing parts, with super fresh front and spine (still originally shrink-wrapped in publisher`s plastic foil); lightly sunned at the bottom edge of the sensitive white rear side (seems also to be a material problem). Overall in fine and fresh condition and better than usual.

Great, sought-after photobook by Larry Sultan with the original dustjacket - signed by the artist.

'Larry Sultan was an American photographer from the San Fernando Valley in California. He taught at the San Francisco Art Institute from 1978 to 1988 and at the California College of the Arts in San Francisco 1989 to 2009.
Sultan's books include Evidence (1977) with Mike Mandel, Pictures From Home (1992) and The Valley (2004). A recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship, his work is exhibited in museums in the United States.
Sultan was born on July 13, 1946, in Brooklyn, New York to a Jewish family. He grew up in the San Fernando Valley, part of Los Angeles, California, where his parents moved when he was an infant. He graduated from the University of California, Santa Barbara with a bachelor's degree in political science, and received a master's degree in fine arts from the San Francisco Art Institute in San Francisco.
He started his career in the 1970s as a conceptual photographer. In 1977, he published a collection of photographs he found in corporate and government archives called Evidence with fellow photographer Mike Mandel. The New York Times characterized Evidence as "a watershed in the history of art photography." The two men also created billboards aimed at slowing down road traffic. He then published Pictures From Home, a collection of photographs taken of his parents in the San Fernando Valley from 1982 to 1992, whose role was to question societal expectations of gender and aging. His 2004 assignment for Maxim, which consisted of photographs of middle-class residences rented by the porn industry in the San Fernando Valley, led to another photographic series called The Valley. He photographed Paris Hilton for Interview in his parents' bedroom in his childhood home.
Sultan was an instructor of photography at his alma mater, the San Francisco Art Institute, from 1978 to 1988. He then taught at the California College of the Arts in San Francisco as Chair of the Photography Department from 1993 to 1999, and as distinguished professor of art from 1989 to 2009.
He served on the board of trustees of the Headlands Center for the Arts from 1992 to 1998. At the time of his death he was the artist trustee at San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, a position he had taken up in the same year.
He was married to Katherine Sultan, also known as Kelly Sultan. He died of cancer on December 13, 2009, at his home in Greenbrae, California.'
