ROGER BALLEN: OUTLAND - SIGNED BY THE PHOTOGRAPHER

London & New York. 2001 (2009)., Phaidon Press Ltd., Later Printing. (ISBN: 0-7148-4058-0) Cloth in Pictorial Dust Jacket, 4to, 120pp, 61 duotone illustrations. Designed by SMITH. "Outland" is the culmination of almost twenty years' work for artist-photographer Roger Ballen. After beginning in the early 1980s by documenting the small dorps (or villages) of rural South Africa, by the late 1980s and early 1990s Ballen moved on to photographing their inhabitants: isolated rural whites, scarred by history, in the process of losing the privileges of apartheid which had provided them livelihoods and sustained their identity for a generation. The results were shocking, both powerful social statements and disturbing psychological studies". A brand new, pristine example of the 2009 printing (whose first edition is cited on page 124 of Martin Parr and Gerry Badger's "The Photobook: A History Volume III") additionally SIGNED "Roger Ballen" in black ink on the title page..

ROGER BALLEN: BOYHOOD

New York, Chelsea House Publishers., 1979, First Edition. (ISBN: 0-87754-091-8) Cloth in Pictorial Dust Jacket, 4to, 96pp, 79 b&w illustrations. Art Direction by Susan Lusk. Designed by Joyce C. Weston. "Boyhood is a powerful and perceptive statement. In photographs and stories, Roger Ballen leads us across the continents of Europe, Asia, and North America in search of boyhood. Here, with keen insight and masterly skill, he succeeds in capturing the essence of boyhood in a series of timeless images that transcend social and cultural particularities". If you are knowingly searching for this title, could we add any more insight than the jacket description for "Boyhood"? While Ballen has subsequently become renowned for his sobering portrait images of the denizens of his adopted South Africa, this, his first book from 1979 is where it all began. The back cover features laudatory quotes from Andre Kertesz, Bruce Davidson, and Elliot Erwitt. A bright, most handsome example of the book itself whose neatly price-clipped dust jacket shows some very light wear and rubbing.. Fine/Very Good.
