Lee Friedlander

The American photographer Lee Friedlander is one of the most prolific artists of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. From the outset of his career in the midsixties his oeuvre marked a significant turning point in contemporary photographic language. This volume comprises approximately three hundred photographs, complemented by text by Carlos Gollonet, Nicholas Nixon, and an interview with Friedlander conducted by Maria Friedlander, the photographer’s wife.Lee Friedlander surveys his entire career, with extensive sections dedicated to central themes of his work—portraits, family, cityscapes, and landscapes—which he revisited, reinvented, and updated decade after decade. This is the largest retrospective of Friedlander’s work undertaken since 2005, and the photographs are from the artist’s personal archive as well as from the Mapfre Foundation’s permanent collection.
