No Flaws or Blemishes but the book plate of art collector Robert Allen Lewis. Throughout his life he was an active collector of art focused on contemporary and outsider works. Still Gift Quality. 200 pages; 192 duotones. Lee Friedlander is the first photographer to make the car an actual “form” for making photographs. Driving across most of the country’s 50 states in an ordinary rental car, Friedlander applied the brilliantly simple conceit of deploying the sideview mirror, rearview mirror, the windshield and the side windows as a picture frame within which to record the country’s eccentricities and obsessions at the turn of the century.
