In original shrinkwrap (partially loosening at top). ; "Richard Misrach's Golden Gate Bridge" is an arresting photographic study of one of the most iconic structures in the world, the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. Over a three-year period, Misrach captured the bridge at different times of day, seasons, and varying weather conditions, resulting in a compelling series of images that showcase the monument in a multitude of lights, moods, and atmospheres. This collection emphasizes the interplay between the natural landscape and human-made structures, highlighting the bridge’s overwhelming presence and its delicate integration into the surrounding environment. Misrach’s work goes beyond mere architectural photography to explore themes of permanence, transience, and the subtle changes in nature. The book is celebrated for its artistic merit and its philosophical meditation on time and change through the lens of a single, enduring landmark. "Richard Misrach's Golden Gate Bridge" was part of Chris Steele-Perkins’ esteemed photography book collection. As an influential member of Magnum Photos, Steele-Perkins had a deep appreciation for works that explore the interaction between landscape and human element, much like Misrach’s study of the Golden Gate Bridge. His collection often included books that not only demonstrated technical photographic excellence but also conveyed a deeper narrative or provoked thought about environmental and societal issues. Steele-Perkins’ own work frequently involved exploring complex social landscapes and the dynamics within them, making Misrach’s thematic focus on the iconic bridge a resonant addition to his collection. Through his role at Magnum, Steele-Perkins was committed to promoting photography that challenges viewers’ perceptions and encourages a deeper understanding of the world. ; 28.5 x 33.5 x 2.4 cms; 164 pages.
