Published on the occasion of the landmark exhibition of the same name held at the Stephen Daiter Gallery Chicago from September 13 through October 26, 2002, and in collaboration with Deborah Bell Photographs New York. Presents "John Cohen: The Shape of Survival". The photographer's "Peruvian Pilgrimage" photographs, taken between 1956 and 1957. For Cohen, they are living testaments, almost fifty years later, of the Peruvian people's resilience and grit amid the harsh terrain of the Peruvian landscape. Aside from being one of the most remarkable American photographers of our time, John Cohen is also a teacher, a world-class scholar of primitive art, and a Renaissance Man who has composed music and made films. Lest that make him sound overly cerebral, the exact opposite is true: His photographs are rife with life and natural beauty. Cohen's photographic oeuvre was finally collected in a book, "There Is No Eye" (2001). This is, in effect, its companion volume, and the only body of work comparable to it is Robert Frank's. An absolute "must-have" title for John Cohen collectors. This title is a contemporary art photography classic. This is one of few copies of the Exhibition Catalog still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A scarce copy thus. 27 duotone plates. One of the most brilliant American photographers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER JOHN COHEN TITLE IN OUR CATALOG)

Woven throughout are reflections on the writer's craft and on artistic creation.Here,too,are singular memories of Smith's life in Michigan and the irremediable loss of her husband,Fred Sonic Smith. Braiding despair with hope and consolation,illustrated with her signature Polaroids,'M Train' is a meditation on travel,detective shows,literature,and coffee.It is a powerful,deeply moving book by one of the most remarkable multiplatform artists at work today. About the author: Patti Smith is a writer,performer and visual artist. She gained recognition in the 1970s for her revolutionary merging of poetry and rock.She has released twelve albums,including 'Horses', which has been hailed as one of the top one hundred albums of all time by Rolling Stone magazine.
