HIGHLY IMPRESSIVE BOOK by famous American Magnum photographer Alex Webb - about the Caribbean.

WITH THE ORIGINAL DUSTJACKET.
COMPLETE WITH THE LOOSELY LAID-IN PLATE AND WITH THE CD.
EXCELLENT, VERY FRESH CONDITION.

"I only know how to approach a place by walking. For what does a street photographer do but walk and watch and wait and talk, and then watch and wait some more, trying to remain confident that the unexpected, the unknown, or the secret heart of the known awaits just around the corner."
- Alex Webb -

Welcome to the newest edition of the SUPER POPULAR SINGLE-SELLER PHOTOBOOK-AUCTIONS 
by Ecki Heuser, 5Uhr30.com (Cologne, Germany) on CATAWIKI.
This time presenting a BEST-OF-SELECTION from my private collection and from recent acquisitions.

"As if a capricious creation wanted to counterbalance the excess of beauty, overwhelming splendour is combined here with equally overwhelming catastrophes, both natural and man-made. This ambivalent wealth gives rise to the art of living (and surviving), a carefree jumble of countless peoples and their cultures, languages, music and physiognomies, but above all an exuberant joie de vivre, the much-loved ‘easy living’ in tropical heat. New Yorker Alex Webb, one of the most important and award-winning photographers of our time, represented in countless collections and a member of the Magnum agency for three decades, knows this landscape like no other. He became famous above all for his Caribbean portraits, which he created on countless journeys. For the new mare illustrated book, he travelled several times to the different worlds of the Lesser and Greater Antilles, observed the people and their sea-influenced lives, and brought back images that, undogmatic and beyond documentation, evoke with a fine sense all the mysterious, incomprehensible colours and moods of this string of pearls in the Caribbean Sea."

"Alex Webb was born in San Francisco, California, in 1952. He became interested in photography during his high school years and attended the Apeiron Workshops in Millerton, New York, in 1972. He majored in history and literature at Harvard University, simultaneously studying photography at the Carpenter Center for the Arts. In 1974, he began working as a professional photojournalist. He joined Magnum Photos as a nominee in 1974, as an associate in 1976, and as a full member in 1979.
During the mid-1970s, Webb photographed in the American South, documenting small-town life in black and white. He also began working in the Caribbean and Mexico, which prompted his starting to photograph in color, which he has continued to do to this day. He has published more than 15 photography books, including Hot Light/Half-Made Worlds, Under A Grudging Sun, The Suffering of Light, La Calle, and Dislocations. He has created six collaborative books with the photographer Rebecca Norris Webb, his wife and creative partner, including Violet Isle and, most recently, Waves.
Webb received a New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship in 1986, National Endowment for the Arts Fellowships in 1990 and 2019, a Hasselblad Foundation Grant in 1998 and a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2007. He won the Leopold Godowsky Color Photography Award in 1988, the Leica Medal of Excellence in 2000 and the David Octavius Hill Award in 2002. His photographs have been the subject of articles in Art in America, the New York Times and other publications. He has exhibited widely in the United States and Europe, in museums including the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; High Museum of Art, Atlanta; Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego; and Whitney Museum of American Art, New York."
