Spine worn & frayed. ; 21.6 x 28 x 0.8 cms; 110 pages; Public Relations by Garry Winogrand is a posthumously published photography book that brings together a series of images taken during the 1960s and early 1970s, primarily focused on public events across the United States. These include press conferences, political rallies, parades, award ceremonies, and various other staged or media-driven gatherings. The book was edited and published in 1977 by the Museum of Modern Art, with a critical essay by Tod Papageorge. Through his characteristic off-kilter framing and spontaneous style, Winogrand captures the awkward, theatrical, and sometimes absurd moments that occur in public life. Rather than documenting events in a straightforward way, he reveals the constructed nature of public image-making and the subtle social dynamics at play. Public Relations is not just a record of a turbulent era—it’s a sharp critique of media spectacle and the performance of power, fame, and civic identity. It remains a key work in understanding Winogrand’s vision and a landmark in American street photography.. Good+ with no dust jacket .
