From the publisher: "Over the years, Lynn Davis has become widely celebrated for her large-scale photographs of "monuments" of the human and natural landscape. Her forthcoming monograph, Monument, presents images made in Egypt, Australia, Cambodia, Burma, Thailand, Syria, Jordan, Turkey, Yemen, Lebanon, Greenland, and the United States. Whether depicting the ancient pyramids of Giza, the temples of Cambodia, or the icebergs of Greenland, Davis articulates both the omnipotent forces of nature and the most resolute building endeavors ever undertaken by man. Davis's aesthetic is cool and refined, her sparse composition and controlled modeling of light evoke solitude and contemplation." Signed by Author.

New York: Harper Collins, 2010. Book. Fine. Hardcover. Signed by Author(s). First Edition. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. This First Edition - First Printing of the book about Patti Smith's life with Robert Mapplethorpe is beautifully signed by the legendary performer in black pen on the title page. The book was signed in person at the Skylight Books here in Los Angeles on Jan 19, 2010. A photo of the signing will be included with the purchase. Also included .is a combine painting of a womans face done on a cloth head form by Robert Maplethorpe . This piece is from Robert Mapplethorpe's estate and is visible in the documentary "Chelsea Hotel 1970" at 8 minutes 47 seconds (available on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Wtfo9OJAuE ) and in the HBO Documentary "Mapplethorpe: Look At The Pictures" at 17 minutes and 47 seconds. In the late 1960's Robert Mapplethorpe studied the Rauschenberg technique of combine painting at the Pratt Institute in New York. As he had this in his apartment with his iconic hat on it in 1970 that fits with it having been a project of his for school. I obtained the piece from Art Director / Production Designer William Doig (https://www.showstudio.com/contributors/bill_doig). In October 1989 he was working as the manager in an antique collectable shop in the Soho district in Manhattan. An associate of Dimitri Levas brought a number of items into the store that were not going to be part of the Mapplethorpe Auction at Christies. This item was one of the pieces brought in for them to sell. William Doig purchased this for himself. A letter from William Doig will be included with the purchase..
