THE DAVID H. TIPPIT PHOTOBOOK COLLECTION

STEPHEN DAITER GALLERY

ABOUT THE COLLECTION October 20, 2017 Stephen Daiter Gallery is pleased to offer for sale a selection of approximately 390 books from the David H. Tippit Photography Book Collection. All told, the collection consists of over 1,300 books, catalogs and anthologies which David considers to be among the most important photography books of the 20th century. There is also a small selection of books from the early 21st century and late 19th century.

David’s initial collection of photobooks was assembled during the 1980s and early 1990s. It contained first editions of over 8,000 of the 20th century seminal photobooks. It was considered to be the most important photobook collection (and included the most select copies) in private hands at the time of its sale in 1992 to the University of Colorado, Boulder. The David H. Tippit Collection is currently housed in the special collections department at the University. During the 1980s David solicited several dealers, curators and special collectors for what they considered their top 100 photobook lists (and several years later for their top 300 books). This was the inspiration for the Book of 101 Books by Andrew Roth. His collection was a forerunner of the more recently assembled significant collections of important photobooks by Manfred Heiting (going to MFA Houston), Martin Parr and others.

After the sale of his initial collection Tippit decided he wanted to re-collect some of his favorite books, as well as locate significant books he either did not know about when he was first collecting or was unable to acquire a copy of that met his initial condition requirements. Over the next twenty years David has put together this second collection, a portion of which is offered in this catalog, replete with important, unusual and often rarely available classic photobooks which are primarily, though not always, in fine collector’s condition.

Note: If prices are not listed in book, the title has sold. Inquiries about additional Tippit photobooks not listed are welcomed but may take several weeks to respond to.

The structure of the project was clear to me almost from the start and each new portrait had to find its place in that structure.

Six photographs quickly fell into place, and an important photographic book was born.” (publisher’s description) 60

Paris, France: Robert Del Prie. 1963. First French edition. Oblong quarto. Paper covered illustrated hardboards. Spine starting, interior fine. $300 Part of Robert Delpire’s renowned series Encyclopédie essentialle, which also featured Robert Frank’s Les Américains.

It is “one of the best photobooks of the 1960s… ‘Les Allemands’ exactly mirrors ‘Les Américains’ in conception… Burri’s pictures are sharp and incisive, occupying an interesting middle ground between the controlled framing of the classic photojournalistic mode and the casual looseness of Frank…

(Primarily) Burri is a documentary photographer, a photojournalist, in a way that Frank is not.”

Certainly, the 16 photo-etchings take his art to where it could probably go no further, and as a fusion of text and imagery the book is entirely successful... It is one of the most beautiful books about isolation and solitude, perhaps death, ever made, and Emerson’s spare, evocative pictures were seldom equalled by the later Pictorialists.” (Parr & Badger) Parr & Badge, volume 1, p. 72; Truthful Lens, p. 54.

$3,000 “It is difficult to know now with certainty whether Walker Evans recorded the America of his youth, or invented it.” (Parr & Badger) “‘American Photographs’ holds a well deserved place at the top of the pantheon, and should be studied assiduously by any photographer attempting the tricky business of compiling a coherent photobook. It is a complex, elliptical, hugely ambitious work, exemplifying all the qualities that Evans demanded from serious photography. (It) remains a great work of art, for it showed us all - including the photographer himself - just what might be accomplished by the photobook.” (Parr & Badger) Parr & Badger, volume 1, pp. 114-115; Open Book pp. 128-129; Roth, pp. 98-99.

$3,500

“Robert Frank sucked a sad poem out of America onto film, taking rank among the tragic poets of the world. To Robert Frank I now give this message. You got eyes.” (Kerouac preface) One of the most important 20th century photography books. “The Delpire first edition ‘Les Américains’ (1958) is more like a sociological study, wherein Frank’s photographs appear as illustrations of the probing texts printed on facing pages, gathered by Alain Bosquet from dozens of illustrious writers... When Barney Rosset at Grove Press agreed to publish ‘The Americans’ in the U.S., Frank pulled out all the text, leaving only blank pages with captions facing the images, mirroring the layout of Evans’s ‘American Photographs’. . . The French edition is sociology, the American edition is poetry.” (David Levi Straus in Roth) 112

This iconography has become a common coin, (and) here the original acuity of Frank’s own sensibility is alive and relevant.” (John Szarkowski)

Indeed, it approaches the level of ‘The Americans,’ both as a book and as a fitting memorial for a great photographic figure.” (Parr & Badger) Parr & Badger, Volume 1, p. 261; Open Book, pp. 286-287; Auer, p. 544.

These are New York City cops… I wanted to show it straight, violence without commercial interruption, sleazy and not so pretty without its make-up. I also wanted to show the tenderness and compassion of the good guys, the ones who care and try to help. Moments of gentleness, good times as well as bad.” (Jill Freedman)

Despite their seeming randomness, they reorder the city dynamically by the formal structure of their images as well as by their full-length narratives … with their collage-like layouts and unusual compositions. In many ways, they are comparable to Surrealist novels recording aleatory paths through the city, or the flâneur’s progression through the streets.” (Kim Sichel in History of Photography, 1992)

Kimura appears to have discovered a residue of Atget’s Paris… his Paris like Atget’s, is a nostalgic one, a city of crumbling textures and decaying structures, autumnal mist and winter gloom.” (Parr & Badger) Parr & Badger, volume 1, p. 297.

It’s so rich, so relentlessly inventive that I can never remember it all and find myself constantly surprised…I’ve no idea how Tokyo received it. No doubt it was measured against the experience of those who lived there. For the rest who saw it in 1964 I imagine it was seductive, bewildering, breathless, cacophonous, grotesque, gorgeous, informative and very intelligent. It is still.” (Vincent Borelli) Open Book, pp. 206-207; Roth pp.140-143; Auer, p. 437.

Fine in very good photographically illustrated dust jacket (mild spine wear, chips top dust jacket corner). $400 “Koudelka’s photographs aim at a distillation of a pattern of human values: a pattern that involves large gesture, brave style, precious camaraderie and bitter loneliness.

Compiled with scrupulous attention to the presentation of facts, without either hyperbole or undue rhetoric on the part of photographer and writer… Her pictures are as direct as those of Walker Evans, though without his studied disinterest. Lange was much more of a ‘people person’ than Evans ever was, and this marks her work.” (Parr & Badger) Parr & Badger, volume 1, pp. 142-143; Roth pp. 102-103.

Abandoned abodes, informal portraits, suburbs of the Lombard capital: these are the images of the Milanese Master who crystallize a description brought to the analysis in some ways even documentary. They are congruent flashes, never artificial… where almost always stands the presence of the human being.” (Gianluca Fiesoli)

$1,350 “Levitt’s photographs are beautiful--major underrated works. Like Henri Cartier-Bresson, she achieves a rare balancing act: her pictures have sentiment without being sentimental, always maintaining an objective distance… The casual observer of these pictures, dazzled by their poetry, could easily miss the harsher realities masked by the surface warmth and joie de vivre.” (Parr & Badger) Parr & Badger, volume 1, p. 252; Open Book, pp. 214-215; Roth, pp. 178-179.

New York, New York: Aperture. 1992. First edition. Oblong quarto. Cloth. Fine in very good photographically illustrated dust jacket (closed spine tear). $175 A fascinating and still controversial body of work by Mann.

“To her, they were little more than tender, maternal photographs of her children. Yet to others, they were child pornography, and the mark of an irresponsible mother… The sensuality in Mann’s work is unavoidable. She sees the innate sexuality of her children where others would shy away from it. She glorifies it.” (Valerie Osbourn, 2006)

The(y)… were taken between October 1978 and January 1979. During that time I got to know and enter the world of some of the women on Falkland Road. They were very special women.” (Mary Ellen Mark, preface)

“His ‘New Vision’ for photography is realized in this volume’s picture-essay format, its kinetic design and modernist questioning of form, the negative print, where ‘magical effects lie hidden,’ and a series of playful photomontages and photograms -- luminous images like weird spheres of light . . . that seem to penetrate space.” (Modernism 101)

“An experiential approach to picture construction which combines dynamic photographic montages with elaborate graphic layouts. One of the most important books of ‘New Vision’ photography in the 1930s… Moi Ver’s Paris is a city in motion, hurtling almost out of control. Cobblestone streets, bustling crowds, facades, railway tracks, bridges, the glittering river, and countless monuments shift and shatter here… no one has yet matched Moi Ver’s vision of the brutal, chaotic, irresistible modern city.” (Vince Aletti in Roth) Roth, pp. 70-71.

He also introduced cinematic cutting and montaging techniques to heighten the interest... A poignancy has been added (to Ein Ghetto im Osten) in hindsight: it was made at the beginning of a desperately traumatic time for European Jewry.” (Parr & Badger) Parr & Badger, volume 1, p. 130; Open Book, p. 18.

Tokyo, Japan: Muromachi-Shobo. 1968. First edition. Quarto. Wrappers very good. Small Mt. Hohusai bookplate FFEP.

$2,000 Moriyama’s first book.

“Moriyama took… theatrical images and combined them brilliantly with images of other types of urban outsiders to make a metaphor of theatre-as-life, and of life-as-theatre. He sought the world of the hipster, the freak, the ‘other,’ from the avant-garde Terayama theatre group, which featured nude women, dwarfs and burlesque characters of all kinds, to the more vernacular nightlife of the city, the strip joints, gangster bars, and backstreet Kabuki theatres, a fusion of the old and new, high and low, insider and outsider, freak and non-freak.” (Parr & Badger) Parr & Badger, volume 1, p. 288; Auer, p. 483.

263

Tokyo, Japan: Shyashin- Hyoron-Sha. 1972. First edition. Small quarto. Printed stiff wrappers with illustrated dust jacket and wax glassine. Better than very good.

$3,500

The photographer’s third book, “a masterpiece book-work, which pushes every image- making ‘boundary’ to its extreme edge, reflecting both the politically charged times of Japan in the 1960s and 1970s and Moriyama’s unique sensitivity to the seemingly mundane and chaotic subject matter. Raw, gritty, nasty.” (Vincent Borelli) “Of my many books of photographs, ‘Bye, Bye Photography, Dear’ is closest to my heart. Even now, when I flip through the pages... the book instantly brings back vivid memories of the sixties. Could one give meaning to the meaningless act of printing a simple black and white of a frame that by accident recorded nothing? Perhaps the authority of the failed negative, with all its inherent possibility, could be restored. I imagined I could construct a book -- a book of pure sensation without meaning -- by shuffling into a harmonious whole a series of childish images.” (Moriyama in Roth) 264

Parr & Badger, volume 1, p. 298; Open Book, p. 290; Roth, p. 218; Auer, p. 543.

Hardcover with dust jacket, plastic jacket and OBI. Fine.

$3,500 One of the scarcest Moriyama books. “It is about the photographer as voyeur… - a perpetual outsider looking in.” (Parr & Badger) “He takes his pictures from the point of view of a Peeping Tom or a rapist. For me they are sex fantasies that arouse my dormant tendencies towards sex crimes. Eyes that see from the windows of a moving car or from the shadows are those of a criminal. His pictures are like someone who talks without looking people in the eye.” (Tadanori Yokoo introduction) Parr & Badger, volume 1, pp. 300-301.

Lacks OBI. $450 “Between 1979 and 1982 Moriyama stopped photographing. With ‘Light and Shadow’ he re-entered the fray even more hard-boiled than before. The moody grain has been replaced by simple highly contrasted photographs of everyday scenes producing a strangely unsettling effect. Whether it is boots, a pair of jeans, high heels, a cow behind barbed wire, a fish-tank, the sky with clouds, or grass... the same menacing effect.” (British Museum, Titus Boeder)

Pictorial wrappers. Near fine. $300 An important book of late (1930s) pictorialism.

“Mortensen’s book ‘Monsters & Madonnas’… was a distilled manifesto of his thoughts and a response to the dominance of straight photography. Mortensen saw duality at work in the process of all artistic production. The technical, mechanical, and scientific were entwined yet at odds within the creative impulse. This duality was even more concentrated in photography, a process obsessed by the technical and mechanical ‘Monster’… standing beside its ancient antithesis, ‘The Madonna’ -- a symbol of fruitfulness and growth, of life and creative energy.” (Carey Loren, Book Beat)

Cloth. Near fine in very good pictorial dust jacket.

$200 “‘White Women’ was—and still is—the legendary first book by Helmut Newton, published in 1976.

His inimitable blend of aestheticism, technical perfection, and luxurious upper-middle class decadence is today just as appealing and controversial as it was thirty-three years ago. ‘White Women’ is a delicacy in visual erotic literature that connoisseurs and people in the know still consider to be Newton’s best book ever.” (publisher’s description 2009 edition)

Included are the iconic ‘Saddle,’ ‘At Maxim’s,’ and ‘Mannequin’ pictures as well as several of the New York rooftop images.

Extremely rare in any condition. $500 A very significant social and historic document of the 1950s which is all but impossible to find. “... by Marion Palfi and published by the Oceana Publications of New York City. The photographs in the book tell the story of children. This is a book that nearly all of us in the United States should look at with great care... the pictures are what will really remain with you. They are completely unforgettable. The reason none of us can fail to look at this book with care lies in the fact that these children are our future citizens, and we must know how they are growing up and what are their opportunities. In the past 20 years we have enlarged greatly the group of people in our country to grow up in healthy surroundings... There is... still room for more to be done if all our children are to have real opportunity to start life with a chance of growing into good citizens. ...we must know what are the things that hinder our efforts most in making further progress. One of these things is segregation, and this book will show you in pictures some of the results of an evil that is preventing equal opportunity for good conditions of life for all our citizens�.

Parr, Martin. The Last Resort

Merseyside, England: Promenade. 1986. First edition. Oblong quarto. Stiff wrappers. As new.

SIGNED by Parr. $350 Parr’s third book and first in color. “‘The Last Resort’ burst upon the photographic scene with the force of a volcano, producing, to say the least, a mixed critical reaction. Parr had dropped a large stone with some force into the British photography pond, and its ripples not only spread out but rocked the boat considerably. It is no exaggeration to say that ‘The Last Resort’ was a defining moment in British photography.”

$6,000 “‘About This: To Her and to Me,’ features the first photomontages by Rodchenko to be used in book design.” (MoMA) “Alexander Rodchenko’s cover and illustrations… is one of the first, and certainly finest, examples of the Constructivist marriage between typography and photomontage… (and) of a union between photography and text... Rodchenko employs the montage technique superbly to crowd each picture space with multiple imagery, containing apparently contrasting juxtapositions and abrupt shifts in scale that suggest all the complexities and paradoxes of Mayakovsky’s verse.” (Parr & Badger) Parr & Badge, volume 1, p. 91.

$5,000 “It would be difficult to over-estimate the influence of this work on later photography, documentary, and otherwise, in Germany and elsewhere. Bernd and Hilla Becher studied Sander’s oeuvre and developed their own typological, ‘scientific’ approach from it. Christian Boltanski’s ‘Menschlich’ (1994) owes a great deal to Sander, of course, as does much of the later work to come from young artists emerging out of Düsseldorf.” (Roth) Parr & Badger, volume 1, p. 124; Open Book, p. 84; Roth, p. 52.

$650 “An homage of sorts to Weegee’s 1945 masterpiece ‘Naked City,’ ‘Invisible City’ is a grainy, dark, impressionistic portrait of urban life. Unlike Weegee, who made New York seem like a theater of sentimentality and cornball humor, Ken Schles wants to point out the spiritual poverty... Individually, the photographs range wildly in quality, but the book’s layout and sequence give them a minor-key vitality and an unkempt brilliance.” (Andy Grundberg, New York Times Book Reviw, 1988) Parr & Badger, volume 3, p. 166.

Children of Europe, Seymour’s major lifetime publication, was produced by UNESCO to raise awareness of how WWII and its aftermath impacted the lives and spirits of children in Europe.

“We were discovering how much horror remained after world war… The children did not have a childish expression, in their eyes there was all the suffering that they had gone through. He had the intuition to photograph at the right moment, to catch these looks of children traumatized and left to themselves.” (George Fevre, Gassman printer for Seymour UNESCO project, Carole Naggar interview 2005) 327

Sherman, Cindy. Untitled Film Stills

New York, New York: Rizzoli. 1990. First edition. Quarto. Cloth. Fine in near fine photographically illustrated dust jacket. $250 “‘Untitled Film Stills’ struck an extraordinary cultural chord, touching every salient point on the postmodernist wish list. Sherman’s pictures of female characters in stereotypical movie situations - the sexy librarian, the woman in jeopardy, the adulterous housewife, and so on - gave not only feminist commentators, but also any kind of media theorist, plenty to write about... They are good photographs, put together with a rare combination of calculation and spontaneity, of knowingness and naivety.”

Cloth. Fine in near fine/fine photographically illustrated dust jacket. $500 “Shore’s is the art of deadpan – rejecting exotic compositions, artful editing, or facile simplification.

He accepts the threadbare banality of the American scene, the jerry-rigged, the down-at-the-heels seediness of our rural landscape and the spatial looseness of our towns, recapturing the overfamiliar, making it poignant, coherent, and almost lovable.” (Robert Venturi, rear cover Uncommon Places)

Photographically illustrated wrappers. Very good plus.

$1,100 “This remains a haunting photobook, 50 years after the war. It is a prime example of one of the photobook’s great truths--it’s not necessarily the individual pictures that count, but what you do with them.” (Parr & Badger) “‘On the Needles of These Days’ is a Surrealist meditation on war and resistance… the book’s aura of alienation, repression, and anxiety not only captured the war’s home front theatre of the absurd, it anticipated the depth of postwar pessimism.” (Vince Aletti in Roth) Parr & Badger, volume 1, p. 197; Open Book, pp. 140-141; Roth, p. 116.

357

Brochure and printed slipcase, as issued. Fine (save for subtle bookplate remnant).

$2,500 “Tomatsu’s justly renowned close-ups of various objects destroyed by the explosion – a watch stopped at precisely 11:02, a headless statue and, most powerful of all, a melted beer bottle…where the fused glass stands in for the wrecked bodies. The horror that this simple image evokes… demonstrates conclusively that Tomatsu was right to abandon the literal in favour of the allusive and metaphorical… for describing the postwar Japanese dilemma.” (Parr & Badger) Parr & Badger, volume 1, pp. 274,pp. 276-277; Open Book, p. 226.

366

368

“Ulmann’s soft-focus photos — rendered as tactile as charcoal drawings in the superb gravure reproductions here — straddle Pictorialism and Modernism even as they appear to dissolve into memory. But if there is a romantic haze in the air, Ulmann is more clear eyed than sentimental about her subjects.” (Vince Aletti in Roth) Roth, pp. 78-79.

“Elsken’s small format camera and fast speed film (are) the prefect combination to catch the spontaneity of what is transpiring both on stage and in the crowd. Within a few frames he shifts our vantage point from passive observers of the musicians to placing us in the shoes and on the stage among the players…

The page layouts have their own rhythms and structure that are as metaphorically musical as necessary to… express the excitement felt while listening to the music.” (SB4) Parr & Badger, volume 1, p. 246.

Quarto. Cloth. Very good in pictorial dust jacket. $300 A vibrant & remarkable record of Polish Jewish life before the Holocaust. “These pictures were made without letting the subjects know of the presence of a camera.

Yellow stain where balloon was, else missing.

$1,500 “A disjointed and playful pastiche, ‘Index (Book)’ has the impromptu feel of a project thrown together as a lark. Most of its pages are filled with high-contrast, snapshot-style black-and-white photographs taken by Billy Name. As if to puncture this glam bubble, ‘Index (Book)’ is also filled with an ingratiating array of gimmicks. Among them: a pop-up illustration of a castle under attack (with photos of Warhol & Co. collaged into its windows), a red pleated accordion tucked into a gatefold, another gatefold with Andy’s nose in profile sliced into a series of colored flaps, a balloon, a Velvets record, a Chelsea Girls ad on a spring, and a Hunt’s tomato paste can that pops up between two head shots of International Velvet.” (Vince Aletti in Roth) Parr & Badger, volume 2, pp. 144-145; Roth, pp. 188-189.

380

Weber, Bruce. O Rio De Janeiro

New York, New York: Knopf. 1986. First edition. Tall quarto. Illustrated stiff wrappers. Fine.

“Weber turned his trademark fiction of youthful exuberance and sexy camaraderie into a fast-paced montage intercut with landscapes, still lifes, news photos and family snapshots… O Rio is most successful as a carefully planned act of seduction.” (Vince Aletti in Roth) Parr & Badger, volume 1, p. 135; Roth, pp. 254-255; Auer, p. 668.

He also maintained a working darkroom in the trunk of his car to hasten delivery of photos.

Naked City was the inspiration for the 1948 film of the same name.

“Photobook masterpiece, one of the great documentary photobooks. His ‘Naked City’ is essentially a nocturnal book, to be put alongside Brassai and Brandt. Beneath its Rabelaisian tough-guy exterior, this is a book with heart.” (Parr & Badger) 382
