The work was shot over a short period of time in which Sanguinetti took a step back becoming a voyeur of her own life. As a new romantic relationship bridges an ocean of distance we are also privy to watching her own daughter gain a new older sister. The work is pointed, tender, and a loving tribute to the family structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eErasure\u003c\/i\u003e by Raymond Meeks\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeek's poetic work plays out as the artist rides a bicycle around his newly adopted east coast home base. Loss and longing share equal roles as the artist traverses the concrete, snapping away in a style that marries the objectivity of Google Street View with the inquisitive sensitivity of Robert Frank. Using printing techniques that involve over-exposing and laying what Meek's calls a \"base fog\" to the image, the artist literally masks what he deems \"the painful and ugly\" in his view of the world. This method of darkroom-manipulation creates an unsettling yet profoundly beautiful and unique book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eUtoquai\u003c\/i\u003e by Wolfgang Tillmans\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTaking his book title from a bathhouse in Zürich, Tillmans closes out the series with a deeply personal visual investigation of a single muse throughout the entirety of the book. It’s rare that a close up photo of an ear or an eye or a knee can be both endlessly interesting and unmistakably authored by one individual, but here Tillmans achieves just that. By re-examining the human body through photography we are left with a new understanding of viewing images by one of the world’s most prominent artists of our time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wolf Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53533217063255,"sku":"BOO 4009 U","price":150.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0503\/4914\/6272\/files\/4009-1.jpg?v=1778677699","url":"https:\/\/www.wolf-books.com\/products\/christian-patterson-alessandra-sanguinetti-raymond-meeks-wolfgang-tillmans-tbw-book-series-no-4","provider":"Wolf Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
