Text engl. - „Assembles the photographer's most compelling images of travellers, flight attendants, airport waiting rooms, airplanes on runways, and all the people and places in between. These images were taken over a period of 25 years between 1958 and 1983.“

Includes a list of plates. Printed by Meridian Printing from separations made by Thomas Palmer. - From the publisher: "In Sticks & Stones, Lee Friedlander offers his view of America as seen through its architecture. In 192 square-format pictures shot over the past 15 years, Friedlander has framed the familiar through his own unique way of seeing the world. Whether he's representing modest vernacular buildings or monumental skyscrapers, Friedlander liberates them from our preconceived notions and gives us a new way of looking at our surrounding environment. Shot during the course of countless trips to urban and rural areas across the country, many of them made by car (the driver's window sometimes providing Friedlander with an extra frame), these pictures capture an America as unblemished by romanticized notions of human nature as it is full of quirky human touches. Nevertheless, man's presence is not at stake here; streets, roads, façades, and buildings offer their own visual intrigue, without reference to their makers. And in the end, it is not even the grand buildings themselves that prick our interest, but rather the forgettable architectural elements--the poles, posts, sidewalks, fences, phone booths, alleys, parked cars - that through photographic juxtaposition with all kinds of buildings help us to discover the spirit of an Architectural America."

Text engl. Excellent Printing by Meridian. - Lee Friedlander (Jahrgang 1934) zählt zu den renommiertesten amerikanischen Fotografen und ist zugleich einer der eigenwilligsten Vertreter der ‘Street Photography’. Er ist ein unermüdlicher Beobachter und Chronist der ihn umgebenden Welt, die er in brillanten Schwarzweiß-Fotografien analysiert und reflektiert. Zu seinen Sujets gehören Stadtlandschaften, die Natur, Porträts sowie das Selbstporträt. In den Jahren 1997-2004 fotografierte Friedlander Apfelbäume im Staat New York und Olivenbäume in Frankreich, Italien und Spain; sowohl in der sommerlichen Hitze als auch unter der Schneedecke im Winter. In den bemerkenswertesten Kompositionen scheinen die Verzweigungen der Bäume den Bildrahmen zu sprengen, um sich dem Betrachter entgegenzustrecken. Ein wunderbares Fotobuch, im hochwertigsten Druckverfahren erstellt und elegant gestaltet!/ The master photographer best known for his extensive, insightful documentation of “the American social landscape” - from jazz musicians to factory hands to New York pedestrians and office workers zoning out at their keyboards - has recently been spending more time looking at the literal, natural landscape. His monumental 2005 MoMA retrospective showed, for the first time, a new series of landscapes made in the American West, while for 'Olives and Apples', he has looked back over the last decade's work and culled a forest, tree by tree. His doctile subjects, apple trees photographed in New York State and olive trees photography in France, Italy and Spain from 1997-2004, are presented in circumstances ranging from sunny, leafy summer health to glittering winter ice-storm glory. 'Apples and Olives' is an absolutely lovely photobook; sumptuously printed, elegantly designed (with the colorful endpages that Friedlander and designer Katy Homans are known for) and, above all, filled with singulary amazing images.
