About This Item
Boston: A Bullfinch Press Book. Little, Brown and Company, 1996. Hardcover. vg. 4to. 182,[4]pp. Pictorial paper-covered boards. "The pictures in this book are a selection of the photographs I took of American athletes who were training to take part in the Games in Atlanta. In meets and competitions all over the country, the best athletes were testing themselves, and being tested, as part of the process of qualifying for a place on the American teams. My photographs were done in individual and group sessions that I set up with the athletes. This gave me the opportunity to depict movement close up, intimately - when movement was the subject. Of course, it wasn't always the subject. Each time I worked with an athlete I had two possibilities: I could concentrate on the person (a portrait in the more conventional sense) or I could concentrate on the sport. Sometimes I was able to do both." (A. Leibovitz). All of the photographs are double- or full-page b/w reproductions. Corners very slightly rubbed, minor scuffing to boards. Near fine condition.
