Sarah Greenough Bücher

Allen Ginsberg begann in den späten 1940er Jahren mit dem Fotografieren, nachdem er eine gebrauchte Kodak-Kamera erstanden hatte. In den folgenden 15 Jahren hielt er Momente mit sich selbst, seinen Freunden und Geliebten fest, darunter bedeutende Figuren wie Jack Kerouac, William Burroughs, Gregory Corso und Neal Cassady. 1963 stellte er das Fotografieren ein, kehrte jedoch in den 1980er Jahren zurück, ermutigt von Berenice Abbott und Robert Frank, seine frühen Aufnahmen zu vervielfältigen und neue Porträts zu schaffen. Dazu zählen Bilder von Freunden wie Larry Rivers, Francesco Clemente und Bob Dylan. Ginsbergs Fotografien bieten ein fesselndes Porträt der Beatgeneration und der Gegenkulturbewegung von den 1950er bis zu den 1990er Jahren. Intensiver als historische Dokumente bewahren seine Bilder und die späteren Beschriftungen die Stimmung, die er als „Heiligkeit des Augenblicks“ bezeichnete: die Freude am Zusammensein und den Schmerz des Erinnerns an intensiv erlebte Zeiten. Über 70 Fotografien werden in herausragender Qualität präsentiert, ergänzt durch Sarah Greenoughs Essay über Ginsbergs Fotografien im Kontext seiner Gedichte und anderer Fotografen, eine Chronologie seiner fotografischen Arbeit und Auszüge aus Interviews mit Ginsberg zwischen 1958 und 1996.

Since then, the collection has expanded to 14,000 works, showcasing the evolution of photography over 175 years. This book highlights significant photographs from early experimental works to influential pieces by major 20th-century artists and contemporary innovators.

There are few couples in the history of 20th-century American art and culture more prominent than Georgia O'Keeffe (1887–1986) and Alfred Stieglitz (1864–1946). Between 1915, when they first began to write to each other, and 1946, when Stieglitz died, O'Keeffe and Stieglitz exchanged over 5,000 letters (more than 25,000 pages) that describe their daily lives in profoundly rich detail. This long-awaited volume features some 650 letters, carefully selected and annotated by leading photography scholar Sarah Greenough. In O'Keeffe's sparse and vibrant style and Stieglitz's fervent and lyrical manner, the letters describe how they met and fell in love in the 1910s; how they carved out a life together in the 1920s; how their relationship nearly collapsed during the early years of the Depression; and how it was reconstructed in the late 1930s and early 1940s. At the same time, the correspondence reveals the creative evolution of their art and ideas; their friendships with many of the most influential figures in early American modernism (Charles Demuth, Arthur Dove, Marsden Hartley, John Marin, and Paul Strand, to name a few); and their relationships and conversations with an exceptionally wide range of key figures in American and European art and culture (including Duncan Phillips, Diego Rivera, D. H. Lawrence, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Marcel Duchamp). Furthermore, their often poignant prose reveals insights into the impact of larger cultural forces—World Wars I and II; the booming economy of the 1920s; and the Depression of the 1930s—on two articulate, creative individuals.
