The bread book by Kenneth Josephson( Book )

8 editions published in 1973 in English and held by 70 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

In 1973, renowned conceptual photographer Kenneth Josephson photographed a sliced loaf of bread from one end to the other to create The Bread Book. A deceptively simple object--photographs of the fronts and backs of ten slices of bread, sandwiched between the heels of the loaf with no accompanying text--this artist's book raises fascinating questions about the nature of photography and its ability to transform an object into an idea or concept, while creating yet another object: the book itself. Reviewing The Bread Book in afterimage, Alex Sweetman proclaimed that "the result of this act of transformation is that the original loaf no longer functions as a loaf of bread, but as a self-contained book considering the ideas of sequence and illusion in relation to the photographic medium." Originally published in an edition of 1,800 copies, The Bread Book has been out of print and greatly sought after for many years. This new edition is limited to 250 copies, each signed by Kenneth Josephson

Kenneth Josephson : a retrospective by Kenneth Josephson( Book )

6 editions published in 1999 in English and German and held by 15 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

Kenneth Josephson has been called "a photograher's photographer" since his late 1960s arrival at the forefront of conceptual photography. His work is inspired by a philosophical inquiry into photography's place within artistic expression, and consequently his photographs often take as their subject the medium itself. Perhaps best known for his pictures within pictures -- an outstretched arm holding a photograph of a ship over the distant ocean horizon -- Josephson has created a fascinating body of work through his innovative handling of perspective and scale and his combination of reality and reproduction. He has brought his highly original sensibility to different genres, from documenting street life in India to nude portraiture, to, most recently, large-format landscapes of England and France. Accompanying a major retrospective exhibition at The Art Institute of Chicago, this catalogue will span his entire career and include some 30 works never before published, an interview with the artist, a complete chronology, and two essays. In its scope and currency, this comprehensive monograph is the definitive record of Josephson's career
