Books
LOOK3 celebrates photography publishing by presenting a large curated selection of the year’s most innovative and expressive new books, highlighting both the images and the art of bookmaking itself. BOOKS also pays tribute to innovative collaborations between photographers and publishers, presenting an intriguing array of diverse titles being produced today. This exhibit will allow you to explore and study these books to your heart’s content.
The 2009 LOOK3 Books Exhibition showcases over fifty books published since LOOK3 a year ago. The exhibition is thrilling for its quality and diversity and for the fact that such creative bookmaking has taken place during this time of dire economic predictions and consumer uncertainty. Our chosen books range from the Fraenkel Gallery’s Edward Hopper & Company (about Hopper’s influence on photography) to Lee Friedlander’s New Mexico, to Annie Leibovitz’s At Work, to Danny Lyon’s Memories of Myself, to Sylvia Plachy’s 25 Under 25, and so much more….
