Lee Friedlander

Pickup

Buch

In this compendium, Lee Friedlander examines the ordinary pickup truck, a quintessentially American mode of transportation. Unadorned in form as well as function, pickups have long been the vehicle of choice for farmers and tradespeople. Their well-worn beds-usually open to the elements, laid bare for all to see-have held and hauled all manner of things, from spare tires and jumbles of wires to animals and the occasional person. Friedlander, in his witty and encompassing, clear-eyed idiom, has observed this most utilitarian and unapologetically personal object in its native setting: the cacophonous bricolage that is American social landscape.

Über den Autor

Lee Friedlander was born in 1934 in Aberdeen, Washington. In 1948 he began to photograph seriously and by the 1960s had become widely recognized for his allencompassing portrayals of the American social landscape-a term he coined. Friedlander's influential work has been the subject of many seminal exhibitions including New Documents and Mirrors and Windows, both organized by John Szarkowski at the Museum of Modern Art, and more than 50 books including Self Portrait (1970), The American Monument (1976), Factory Valleys (1982), Sticks and Stones (2004), America By Car (2010) and Chain Link (2017).
