Fraenkel, Jeffery (and) Frish Brandt - Long Story Short

San Francisco, Fraenkel Gallery, 2019. Hardcover. A red, crushed-velvet casebound book. The title is debossed in gilt on the front cover and down the spine. There is a glued-on plate on the front cover, as well as a smaller one on the spine. The front and back free and pasted end pages are a textured blue paper. The headband is red; the textblocks are silver. Pages: (~144). Contains more than sixty color illustrations, including 58 highlighted plates. "A surprising and unconventional slice of photography's history, 'Long Story Short' is also an abbreviated tour of Fraenkel Gallery's approach to photography. Published to mark the gallery's 40th (and still counting) year, this sumptuously designed and printed volume presents work by photography's masters alongside that of little-known artists and anonymous thrift shop finds. Presented in approximate chronological order, the unconventional flow of images conveys a profound sense of photography's infinite riches, and is a meditation on the inexhaustible possibilities of the medium itself. VG+: A book in excellent condition. Looks like it has hardley ever been picked up, let alone read.
