Meta Photographs.

£250 · Offered by Shapero Rare Books

edition of 100 with a signed photograph Meta Photographs is a largely under-the-radar book, similar to some of the work Lee Friedlander and Garry Winogrand made in the mid to late 1970s. In his afterword, Alex Sweetman writes, 'The best introduction to the book is a familiarity with the great works of the critical realist tradition from Atget to Evans through Robert Frank and the present generation; it is as much about them as it is about the environment.' First edition, number 28 of 100 signed and numbered copies with a signed photograph; 4to (305 x 228 mm, 12 x 9 in); black-and-white photographs; plain endpapers, navy cloth-covered boards, titles stamped in silver on spine and upper, minor fading to spine, lightly rubbed, publisher's grey cloth-covered board slipcase, light wear, vintage gelatin silver photograph (252 x 203 mm, 10 x 8 in) signed and numbered in pencil, matted and signed and numbered again in pencil on the front, a near-fine copy; [64]pp.
