Yves Marchand & Romain Meffre: The Ruins of Detroit Hardcover -

by Yves Marchand (Photographer); Romain Meffre (Photographer)


From the publisher

Over the past 25 years, Detroit has suffered economically worse than any other of the major American cities and its rampant urban decay is now glaringly apparent. Yves Marchand and Romain Meffre have documented this disintegration, showcasing structures that were formerly a source of civic pride, and which now stand as monuments to the city's fall from grace. This is the sixth edition of this award-winning book.

Description:
Steidl Publishing, September 2010. Oversized Hardcover . Very Good/No Jacket As Issued. Until the 1960s, Detroit was one of America's most important cities, a hub of industry with a population of almost two million and a skyline to rival that of any U.S. city. Its buildings were monuments to its success and vitality in the first half of the twentieth century. At the start of the twenty-first century, those same monuments are now ruins: the United Artists Theater, the Whitney Building, the Farwell Building and the once ravishing Michigan Central Station (unused since 1988) today look as if a bomb had dropped on Motor City, leaving behind the ruins of a once great civilization. In a series of weekly photographic bulletins for Time magazine called 'Detroit's Beautiful, Horrible Decline,' photographers Yves Marchand and Romain Meffre have been revealing to an astonished America the scale of decay in Detroit.

Description:
Steidl, Gottingen, 2010. First Edition. Hardcover (Original Cloth). Fine Condition/Fine. YVES MARCHAND and ROMAIN MEFFRE. The Ruins of Detroit, Gottingen: Steidl, 2010. Large, heavy folio, first edition, pp. 227, 1 (colophon), printed cloth boards, color plates. Parr & Badger, Volume 3, p. 174: "Public and private buildings -- hotels, ballrooms, theatres, schools, banks, offices and private mansions -- are shown in a state of ruinous abandonment. ... The sense of ruin is overwhelming. The whole city cannot be like this, however, and there is a feeling that Marchand and Meffre are milking an aesthetic of ruin. Indeed, they admit to this." It is worth observing that the building on the cover, the Michigan Central railroad station, is in process of a dramatic renewal. Condition of this book: Fine. Size: Large Folio (bigger than A3). Text body is clean, and free from previous owner annotation, underlining and highlighting. Binding is tight, covers and spine fully intact.… Read More
