Presents "August Sander: 70 Portraits". Representative, now-iconic photographs. One of the medium's most disciplined, rigorous, and dedicated practitioners, August Sander much preferred, however, to describe himself as a social scientist. His magnum opus, "Menschen des 20 Jahrhunderts" ("People of The 20th Century"), remains one of the greatest and most influential bodies of work in the history of photography. Subsequent artists such as Avedon, on the one hand, Rineke Dijkstra and Charles Freger, on the other, among so many others, would not exist without August Sander's pioneering example. He anticipated Minimalism long before it was named as such, even as it remains the most influential aesthetics of contemporary photography, art, design, and architecture. An absolute "must-have" title for August Sander collectors. This title is now highly collectible. As far as we know, this is the only copy available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: None of the copies was commercially sold. The production values are outstanding in every respect. A rare copy thus. 70 plates. One of the greatest photographers of the 20th century. A fine copy. .
