Photographs from 'Lee Friedlander: The American Monument'—a memorial in photographs to the American monument, originally published in 1976 and more deadpan-relevant than ever today.⠀ ⠀ The first edition of 'The American Monument' is one of the most sought-after photography publications of the twentieth century. Long out of print, with only a rare few available on the secondary market, this second edition makes a treasure available once more to new audiences. Published in the same oversized format as the first edition—with exquisite reproductions of 213 photographs—the album of post-bound single sheets can easily be temporarily disassembled for display.⠀ ⠀ Considered by many, including Friedlander himself, to be one of his most important books, 'The American Monument' has influenced generations of photographers. The second edition includes a new essay by eminent photography curator and Friedlander scholar, Peter Galassi, which illuminates the history and continued significance of this publication.⠀ ⠀ Published by @eakinspress⠀ ⠀ Text by Peter Galassi, Leslie George Katz.⠀ ⠀ Please order from your local independent #bookstorehero — many are reopening or offering curbside pickup!
