Soft cover. Etat : As New. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 20 pages. Published in 2016. Collection of photographs, conceived as an Artist Book that then helped pave the way for a whole new photographic genre. Namely, the photobook. One of the pioneering and ground-breaking photobooks of our time, in a splendid New Edition. Limited Edition of 250 signed copies. Published as a softcover original only that was not reissued once all of the copies were sold. An austerely elegant production by Kenneth Josephson and Only Photography Press: Regular-sized volume format. Pictorial softcovers with titles on the cover, as issued. Photographs by Kenneth Josephson. There is no text. Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper in Berlin, Germany to the highest standards. The photographer himself has stated that the production quality is significantly better than the original edition in the way that it captures the subtleties of visual tone. Which, of course, is the whole point of the book. Without DJ, as issued. Re-presents, in a Limited Edition format, Kenneth Josephson's "The Bread Book". Pioneering Conceptual art photography at its Minimalist best, long before Minimalism itself became the dominant Movement of our time. "A deceptively simple object - photographs of the fronts and backs of ten slices of bread with no accompanying text - this Artist Book raises questions about the nature of photography and its ability to transform an object into an idea or concept while creating yet another object. The result of this act of transformation is that the original loaf no longer functions as a loaf of bread, but as a self-contained book that considers the ideas of sequence and illusion" (Publisher's blurb). Its achievement still needs to be clarified: "The Bread Book" precedes and anticipates what has developed into what is now a full-fledged photographic genre, in and of itself: The photobook. That is to say, an art book can never ever be a genre in a way that the photobook - as opposed to the photograph or a regular photography book - is and has become. Originally published in an edition of 1800 copies, "The Bread Book" has been out-of-print for a long time. Here it is, in a definitive production that Kenneth Josephson himself regards as superior to the original. An absolute "must-have" title for Kenneth Josephson collectors. This is a copy of the Limited Edition of 250 signed copies. It is very boldly and beautifully signed in gold pen-marker on the Back Cover by Kenneth Josephson. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. Josephson signed a few copies in gold (instead of silver pen-marker), making each such copy more collectible. This title is a great photobook. As far as we know, this is the only such gold-marker signed copy of the Limited Edition available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies of the 1973 Edition available online command many hundreds of dollars more. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed copy thus. 20 plates. One of the greatest artist/photographers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER KENNETH JOSEPHSON TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 1477312005. Signed by Author. N° de réf. du vendeur 23841
