"In 1986, photographer Lee Friedlander was invited to Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, by supercomputer maker Cray Research, which had hired the famous documentarian to shoot images for a book celebrating its 15th anniversary. Based on the 79 photographs on view in Lee Friedlander: The Cray Photographs, through June 16, 2013, at the Cantor Arts Center, Friedlander spent a fair amount of time wandering the banks of the Chippewa River on an overcast day, taking pictures of bare trees, a trio of fishermen in a canoe and the town's namesake falls, which are more like a series of rapids than a cliff-like Niagara. He also poked around the town, shooting traffic signs in mostly empty streets, documenting a cluster of oil-storage tanks near a cemetery, and taking a few shots of train tracks and the desolation they pass through."

CONDITION & NOTES Very Good - Near Fine / Hardcover with pasted on title paper which has a few light spots. Interior has very mild edge discolouration, a small fold remainder on one of the first pages and a written message on the fly leaf from a disgruntled employee of Cray Research Inc. donating the book to the University of Wisconsin as he found the photos degrading.
