Description
The first edition of Nothing Personal: Photographs by Richard Avedon and text by James Baldwin. This work was designed by Marvin Israel.
Folio, [92pp]. Glossy white paper covers, title in black on front cover and spine. Decorated with silver foil under print on both covers. No additional printings listed. Solid text block, light sunning to spine, otherwise fine condition. In the publisher’s slipcase, with light wear to corners and small stains to panels. Edges remain strong, a very good example. Complete with 54 photographs and 2 gatefolds. (Parr & Badger, p. 252)
Nothing Personal, released at the height of the Civil Rights Movement, pairs Baldwin’s broad critique of American society with Avedon’s bare-bone portraits to yield a unique, juxtaposing piece. A rare collectible.
