Description from the seller
Very nice, small square book about Czech-Swiss photographer
125 reproduced photographs
175 pages
Text in Czech and English
Very good, fine condition
Iren Stehli (born 1953) is a Czech-Swiss photographer known for her long-term documentary projects that combine personal narrative, social observation, and a sensitive eye for everyday life. Her work often explores themes of identity, intimacy, and transformation within the changing social landscape of Central and Eastern Europe. Stehli’s photographs are characterized by empathy and subtle humor, capturing both the ordinary and the profound moments of human existence.
This book was published in 2006 by Torst as the 26th volume of the Fototorst edition, which presents key figures of Czech photography in a compact and carefully produced format. The publication has 175 pages and includes 125 reproduced photographs, offering a representative selection of Stehli’s work from the 1970s to the early 2000s. The text is presented in both Czech and English, making the book accessible to an international audience.
The accompanying essays were written by Anna Fárová and Martin Heller, who place Iren Stehli’s work within the broader context of Czech and European documentary photography, emphasizing her unique ability to combine personal storytelling with deeper social insight.
This monograph is a valuable addition for anyone interested in documentary photography, social realism, and sensitive visual portrayals of human life.
Seller's Story
I strive to find and offer you the most interesting items from Prague’s antiquarian bookstores and second-hand shops: autographs, rarities, photographs, bibliophilia, old prints, posters, maps, catalogs, high-quality or sold-out books, as well as fine art.
Prague has always been a meeting point of cultures and languages. Especially during the 20th century, Czechoslovakia was visited by numerous world-renowned artists, writers, scientists, and other notable figures who left their mark here and established connections with local culture or institutions. So the selection here will be rich in provenance — including German, French, English, Russian, or, for example, Italian.
However, I will also aim to highlight more or less well-known Czech artists and noteworthy items — of interest to collectors and art lovers, especially those passionate about autographs, fine art, and related fields.
