About the publication "Looking at Los Angeles"
"Loved, hated, revered, scorned, real, imagined: this is Los Angeles.
Looking at Los Angeles is a fascinating journey into the center of the
city's heart and soul. Pictured within its pages is a Los Angeles of
powerful dreams and startling realities.
Editors Marla Hamburg Kennedy
and Ben Stiller have gathered pictorial representations of Los Angeles
from the last three-quarters of a century, resulting in this selection
of more than 200 stunning, beautifully reproduced color and duotone
depictions of the city from different eras and different points of view.
Along with the carefully chosen images by approximately 100
photographers who have time again turned to Los Angeles for inspiration,
a preface and foreword by the editors describe their great affection
for the city, while David L. Ulin's essay offers a critical and loving
look at Los Angeles. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this
book will be donated to the Los Angeles Conservancy, and the
organization provides an essay about the importance of saving this
city's rich architectural heritage.
Looking at Los Angeles is at once a
lesson in history, architecture, style, and culture, and a remarkable
visual and written tribute to one of America's greatest cities. Includes
photographs by: Robert Adams, John Baldessari, William Claxton, Will
Connell, Joe Deal, John Divola, William Eggleston, Sam Fentress, Anthony
Friedkin, John Humble, Dennis Keeley, Florian Maier-Aichen, Grant
Mudford, Karin A. Mueller, Catherine Opie, Ed Ruscha, Stephen Shore,
Julius Schulman, Joel Sternfeld, Timothy Street-Porter, John Swope, Andy
Warhol, Julian Wasser, Robert Weingarten, Garry Winogrand, Max Yavno
and others."
