Description:
Fine condition. First edition, first printing. 4to.; Illustrated throughout in black-and-white, tan endpapers, red cloth boards with yellow type and black-and-white image adhered, no dust-jacket as issued. Condition: Fine. From the Publisher: A Museum of Modern Art book, The Brown Sisters presents a photographic project as compelling in effect as it is simple in conception: four women, 25 years. Each year since 1975 photographer Nicholas Nixon (b. 1947) has made a group portrait of his wife and her three sisters facing the camera in the same order. The series now measures a quarter century in the lives of the sisters, who in 1975 ranged in age from 15 to 25. Each picture is dense with allusion to the year of experience that separates it from the one before. Nixon is one of the leading American photographers of his generation.

Description:
First and only edition. Linen hardcover, illustrated throughout in black-and-white, unpaginated [84 pages], 10.4 x 9 inches, essay by Koko Yamagishi.Bukubuku is Fukase's considered to be Fukase's final major project before he suffered a debilitating accident in 1992. The series consists of self-portraits taken in the bathtub with an underwater camera. The book includes a text by Koko Yamagishi."Bukubuku (Bubbling) has been remembered among us as Masahisa Fukase's unspoken-of work, a series that had been sealed, so to speak.
