Newman's "Seven Photo Essays". Among the finest photographs ever taken in the 20th century: "Chicago Snow Scenes" (1950) ; "Coney Island Beach Scenes" (1952) ; "The Circus" (1954) ; "Halloween" (1955) ; "Wall Street And The New York Stock Exchange" (1956-57) , a breathtaking panoramic top shot that prefigures the work of Andreas Gursky; and "Rue St. Denis Paris" (1960) . The magnificent six-page foldout of the legendary Mickey Mantle in action on the baseball field (Pages 9 to 13) is the centerfold of this keepsake of a catalog. An absolute "must-have" title for Marvin E. Newman collectors. This copy is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed and inscribed in black ink-pen by the photographer: "For Paul, Always a great friend, Marvin E. Newman". It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. The recipient, Paul Berlanga, who is named, is the Chicago-based photography expert and important artist/painter. This title is a contemporary art photography classic. As far as we know, this is the only such signed and inscribed copy of the Exhibition Catalog available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: This is a Catalog, NOT a full-fledged volume. But its production values, rarity, and Newman's elusive signature make it eminently collectible for completists. A rare signed copy thus. Lavishly illustrated with tonally rich plates. One of the greatest photographers of the 20th century. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER MARVIN E. NEWMAN TITLES IN OUR CATALOG).
