Zustand: Wie neu. Scalo, Zurich, Berlin, New York. 2002. First edition, first printing. Signed by Bill Henson! Strongly limited to 60 numbered and signed copies only. Alessandro Bertolotti, The Book of Nudes, page 273. Mint, new, unread. Hardcover with dustjacket. 417 mm x 280 mm. 176 pages, 130 photos. Text in english. Perfect condition! Numbered and signed by the artist! Collector`s copy! Scarce! Landmark collection of nude-cum-landscape color photographs. Presents Bill Henson`s sequence of photographs of naked couples making love brilliantly juxtaposed with urban nighttime landscapes (the "lux"/light of the title refers to photography itself). The metaphor of night - for sex and intimacy as well as loneliness and desolation - endows the sequence with a "life-and-death" significance that is very rarely seen in photography. You will not restlessly flip through but carefully linger over each page (the book`s design also makes sure that you do). The sequence (it is perfect) is poetic rather than "playful", which almost all other photography books are, and as such, its contemplative effect is truly powerful. "Bill Henson is a passionate and visionary explorer of twilight zones, of the ambiguous spaces that exist between day and night, nature and civilization, youth and adulthood, male and female. His photographs of landscapes at dusk, of the industrial No-Man`s Land that lies on the outskirts of our cities, and of androgynous couples are painterly tableaux that continue the tradition of Romantic literature and painting in our post-Industrial Age. The rich chiaroscuro, the oscillating light, and the masterful composition of his photographs map enigmatic states that escape rationalism`s iron grip, providing a much-needed antidote to a culture that increasingly loses itself in a numbing vortex of blinking screens and glittering surfaces" (Dennis Cooper). Bill Henson`s work is in the Permanent Collections of the Bibliotheque Nationale Paris, the Musee d`Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum New York, the Museum of Modern Art, and every major Australian museum. Henson has represented Australia (he still lives and works in Sydney) in prestigious international exhibitions such as the Venice Biennale. A "must-have" title for Bill Henson and contemporary art photography collectors.***************Scalo. Zürich, Berlin, New York. 2002. Erstausgabe. Originalausgabe. Signiert von Bill Henson!
