ABOUT THE COLLECTION October 20, 2017 Stephen Daiter Gallery is pleased to offer for sale a selection of approximately 390 books from the David H. Tippit Photography Book Collection. All told, the collection consists of over 1,300 books, catalogs and anthologies which David considers to be among the most important photography books of the 20th century. There is also a small selection of books from the early 21st century and late 19th century. David’s initial collection of photobooks was assembled during the 1980s and early 1990s. It contained first editions of over 8,000 of the 20th century seminal photobooks. It was considered to be the most important photobook collection (and included the most select copies) in private hands at the time of its sale in 1992 to the University of Colorado, Boulder. The David H. Tippit Collection is currently housed in the special collections department at the University. During the 1980s David solicited several dealers, curators and special collectors for what they considered their top 100 photobook lists (and several years later for their top 300 books). This was the inspiration for the Book of 101 Books by Andrew Roth. His collection was a forerunner of the more recently assembled significant collections of important photobooks by Manfred Heiting (going to MFA Houston), Martin Parr and others. After the sale of his initial collection Tippit decided he wanted to re-collect some of his favorite books, as well as locate significant books he either did not know about when he was first collecting or was unable to acquire a copy of that met his initial condition requirements. Over the next twenty years David has put together this second collection, a portion of which is offered in this catalog, replete with important, unusual and often rarely available classic photobooks which are primarily, though not always, in fine collector’s condition. Note: If prices are not listed in book, the title has sold. Inquiries about additional Tippit photobooks not listed are welcomed but may take several weeks to respond to.

The structure of the project was clear to me almost from the start and each new portrait had to find its place in that structure.

It is a complex, elliptical, hugely ambitious work, exemplifying all the qualities that Evans demanded from serious photography. (It) remains a great work of art, for it showed us all - including the photographer himself - just what might be accomplished by the photobook.” (Parr & Badger) Parr & Badger, volume 1, pp. 114-115; Open Book pp. 128-129; Roth, pp. 98-99. 107

Paris, France: Delpire. 1958. First edition. Oblong quarto. Paper covered illustrated hardboard. Near fine.

$3,500

“Robert Frank sucked a sad poem out of America onto film, taking rank among the tragic poets of the world. To Robert Frank I now give this message. You got eyes.” (Kerouac preface) One of the most important 20th century photography books. “The Delpire first edition ‘Les Américains’ (1958) is more like a sociological study, wherein Frank’s photographs appear as illustrations of the probing texts printed on facing pages, gathered by Alain Bosquet from dozens of illustrious writers... When Barney Rosset at Grove Press agreed to publish ‘The Americans’ in the U.S., Frank pulled out all the text, leaving only blank pages with captions facing the images, mirroring the layout of Evans’s ‘American Photographs’. . . The French edition is sociology, the American edition is poetry.” (David Levi Straus in Roth) 112

Indeed, it approaches the level of ‘The Americans,’ both as a book and as a fitting memorial for a great photographic figure.” (Parr & Badger) Parr & Badger, Volume 1, p. 261; Open Book, pp. 286-287; Auer, p. 544.

I also wanted to show the tenderness and compassion of the good guys, the ones who care and try to help. Moments of gentleness, good times as well as bad.” (Jill Freedman)

Near fine (slight spine rubbing, light bump bottom spine). $300 Friedlander (c.1965) and Kenneth Josephson (c.1961) both began a series of shadow self-portraits in the 1960s. Self-Portrait is a wonderful compilation of Lee’s self-portraits from this period. “Friedlander does seem to be lurking or barging into his own pictures -- a hovering, disembodied Everyman, at once here and gone. Like the ephemeral figures in nineteenth-century spirit photos, he appears as a shadow, a reflection, a pair of shoes, a barely discernible shape.”(Vince Aletti in Roth) Parr & Badger, volume 1, p. 258; Open Book, pp. 262-263; Roth, pp. 198-199, Auer, p. 514.

Arnold Genthe’s work will be for all time a memorial to what has been.” (Book jacket)

Light bump, minor closed tear else fine. $750 “‘Paris’ (is seen) as a collection of building fragments and personally observed individuals. Despite their seeming randomness, they reorder the city dynamically by the formal structure of their images as well as by their full-length narratives … with their collage-like layouts and unusual compositions.

Near fine slipcase. $900 An important Japanese photobook notable for its subdued color palate. “‘Paris’ is remarkable for two things, its distinctive color palette, and Kimura’s view which teeters between conventional travel photographer and something much more original. Kimura appears to have discovered a residue of Atget’s Paris… his Paris like Atget’s, is a nostalgic one, a city of crumbling textures and decaying structures, autumnal mist and winter gloom.” (Parr & Badger) Parr & Badger, volume 1, p. 297.

It’s so rich, so relentlessly inventive that I can never remember it all and find myself constantly surprised…I’ve no idea how Tokyo received it. No doubt it was measured against the experience of those who lived there. For the rest who saw it in 1964 I imagine it was seductive, bewildering, breathless, cacophonous, grotesque, gorgeous, informative and very intelligent. It is still.” (Vincent Borelli) Open Book, pp. 206-207; Roth pp.140-143; Auer, p. 437.

Fine in very good photographically illustrated dust jacket (mild spine wear, chips top dust jacket corner). $400 “Koudelka’s photographs aim at a distillation of a pattern of human values: a pattern that involves large gesture, brave style, precious camaraderie and bitter loneliness. The pattern and texture of his pictures form the silent equivalent of an epic drama.” (John Szarkowski) “The publication of ‘Gypsies’ in 1975… sealed his reputation as one of the finest photographers still utilizing the humanist documentary mode in the last quarter of the twentieth century.” (Parr & Badger) Parr & Badger, volume 2, p. 230; Open Book, p. 304. 200

Compiled with scrupulous attention to the presentation of facts, without either hyperbole or undue rhetoric on the part of photographer and writer… Her pictures are as direct as those of Walker Evans, though without his studied disinterest. Lange was much more of a ‘people person’ than Evans ever was, and this marks her work.” (Parr & Badger) Parr & Badger, volume 1, pp. 142-143; Roth pp. 102-103.

Abandoned abodes, informal portraits, suburbs of the Lombard capital: these are the images of the Milanese Master who crystallize a description brought to the analysis in some ways even documentary. They are congruent flashes, never artificial… where almost always stands the presence of the human being.” (Gianluca Fiesoli)

Fine in nearly fine photographically illustrated dust jacket. $1,350 “Levitt’s photographs are beautiful--major underrated works. Like Henri Cartier-Bresson, she achieves a rare balancing act: her pictures have sentiment without being sentimental, always maintaining an objective distance… The casual observer of these pictures, dazzled by their poetry, could easily miss the harsher realities masked by the surface warmth and joie de vivre.” (Parr & Badger) Parr & Badger, volume 1, p. 252; Open Book, pp. 214-215; Roth, pp. 178-179.

Mann, Sally. Immediate Family

New York, New York: Aperture. 1992. First edition. Oblong quarto. Cloth. Fine in very good photographically illustrated dust jacket (closed spine tear). $175 A fascinating and still controversial body of work by Mann. “To her, they were little more than tender, maternal photographs of her children. Yet to others, they were child pornography, and the mark of an irresponsible mother… The sensuality in Mann’s work is unavoidable. She sees the innate sexuality of her children where others would shy away from it. She glorifies it.” (Valerie Osbourn, 2006)

The(y)… were taken between October 1978 and January 1979. During that time I got to know and enter the world of some of the women on Falkland Road. They were very special women.” (Mary Ellen Mark, preface)

Fine in very good dust jacket with light rubbing and closed tears. $500 Meiselas’s first book. “Like the (carnival strip) show, the book represents coexistent aspects of a phenomenon, one which horrifies and one which honors.

Fine (very slight glassine loss, very slight fraying to spine tips). Edition of 1000 most not realized. $20,000 Provenance: Andre Jamme to David Travis. “An experiential approach to picture construction which combines dynamic photographic montages with elaborate graphic layouts. One of the most important books of ‘New Vision’ photography in the 1930s… Moi Ver’s Paris is a city in motion, hurtling almost out of control. Cobblestone streets, bustling crowds, facades, railway tracks, bridges, the glittering river, and countless monuments shift and shatter here… no one has yet matched Moi Ver’s vision of the brutal, chaotic, irresistible modern city.” (Vince Aletti in Roth) Roth, pp. 70-71. 255

He also introduced cinematic cutting and montaging techniques to heighten the interest... A poignancy has been added (to Ein Ghetto im Osten) in hindsight: it was made at the beginning of a desperately traumatic time for European Jewry.” (Parr & Badger) Parr & Badger, volume 1, p. 130; Open Book, p. 18. 256

Tokyo, Japan: Muromachi-Shobo. 1968. First edition. Quarto. Wrappers very good. Small Mt. Hohusai bookplate FFEP. $2,000 Moriyama’s first book. “Moriyama took… theatrical images and combined them brilliantly with images of other types of urban outsiders to make a metaphor of theatre-as-life, and of life-as-theatre. He sought the world of the hipster, the freak, the ‘other,’ from the avant-garde Terayama theatre group, which featured nude women, dwarfs and burlesque characters of all kinds, to the more vernacular nightlife of the city, the strip joints, gangster bars, and backstreet Kabuki theatres, a fusion of the old and new, high and low, insider and outsider, freak and non-freak.” (Parr & Badger) Parr & Badger, volume 1, p. 288; Auer, p. 483. 263

Tokyo, Japan: Shyashin- Hyoron-Sha. 1972. First edition. Small quarto. Printed stiff wrappers with illustrated dust jacket and wax glassine. Better than very good.

$3,500

The photographer’s third book, “a masterpiece book-work, which pushes every image- making ‘boundary’ to its extreme edge, reflecting both the politically charged times of Japan in the 1960s and 1970s and Moriyama’s unique sensitivity to the seemingly mundane and chaotic subject matter. Raw, gritty, nasty.” (Vincent Borelli) “Of my many books of photographs, ‘Bye, Bye Photography, Dear’ is closest to my heart. Even now, when I flip through the pages... the book instantly brings back vivid memories of the sixties. Could one give meaning to the meaningless act of printing a simple black and white of a frame that by accident recorded nothing? Perhaps the authority of the failed negative, with all its inherent possibility, could be restored. I imagined I could construct a book -- a book of pure sensation without meaning -- by shuffling into a harmonious whole a series of childish images.” (Moriyama in Roth) 264

Parr & Badger, volume 1, p. 298; Open Book, p. 290; Roth, p. 218; Auer, p. 543.

Tokyo, Japan: Chou-Koron-Sha. 1972. Introduction by Tadanori Yokoo. First edition. Quarto. Hardcover with dust jacket, plastic jacket and OBI. Fine. $3,500 One of the scarcest Moriyama books. “It is about the photographer as voyeur… - a perpetual outsider looking in.” (Parr & Badger) “He takes his pictures from the point of view of a Peeping Tom or a rapist. For me they are sex fantasies that arouse my dormant tendencies towards sex crimes. Eyes that see from the windows of a moving car or from the shadows are those of a criminal. His pictures are like someone who talks without looking people in the eye.” (Tadanori Yokoo introduction) Parr & Badger, volume 1, pp. 300-301.

265


Moriyama, Daido. Hikari to Kage (Light and Shadow)

Tokyo, Japan: Shyashin-Hyoron-Sha. 1982. First edition. Quarto. Stiff French fold wrappers with photographically illustrated dust jacket. Near fine. Lacks OBI. $450 “Between 1979 and 1982 Moriyama stopped photographing. With ‘Light and Shadow’ he re-entered the fray even more hard-boiled than before. The moody grain has been replaced by simple highly contrasted photographs of everyday scenes producing a strangely unsettling effect. Whether it is boots, a pair of jeans, high heels, a cow behind barbed wire, a fish-tank, the sky with clouds, or grass... the same menacing effect.” (British Museum, Titus Boeder)

Mortensen, William. Monsters and Madonnas

San Francisco, California: Camera Craft Publishing. 1936. First edition. Spiral bound quarto. Pictorial wrappers. Near fine. $300 An important book of late (1930s) pictorialism. “Mortensen’s book ‘Monsters & Madonnas’… was a distilled manifesto of his thoughts and a response to the dominance of straight photography. Mortensen saw duality at work in the process of all artistic production. The technical, mechanical, and scientific were entwined yet at odds within the creative impulse. This duality was even more concentrated in photography, a process obsessed by the technical and mechanical ‘Monster’… standing beside its ancient antithesis, ‘The Madonna’ -- a symbol of fruitfulness and growth, of life and creative energy.” (Carey Loren, Book Beat)

Near fine in very good pictorial dust jacket. $200 “‘White Women’ was—and still is—the legendary first book by Helmut Newton, published in 1976. His inimitable blend of aestheticism, technical perfection, and luxurious upper-middle class decadence is today just as appealing and controversial as it was thirty-three years ago. ‘White Women’ is a delicacy in visual erotic literature that connoisseurs and people in the know still consider to be Newton’s best book ever.” (publisher’s description 2009 edition)

Included are the iconic ‘Saddle,’ ‘At Maxim’s,’ and ‘Mannequin’ pictures as well as several of the New York rooftop images. Newton shot for the work of Faye Dunaway’s photographer character in ‘The Eyes of Laura Mars.’” (Arcana Books)

Extremely rare in any condition. $500 A very significant social and historic document of the 1950s which is all but impossible to find. “... by Marion Palfi and published by the Oceana Publications of New York City. The photographs in the book tell the story of children. This is a book that nearly all of us in the United States should look at with great care... the pictures are what will really remain with you. They are completely unforgettable. The reason none of us can fail to look at this book with care lies in the fact that these children are our future citizens, and we must know how they are growing up and what are their opportunities. In the past 20 years we have enlarged greatly the group of people in our country to grow up in healthy surroundings... There is... still room for more to be done if all our children are to have real opportunity to start life with a chance of growing into good citizens. ...we must know what are the things that hinder our efforts most in making further progress. One of these things is segregation, and this book will show you in pictures some of the results of an evil that is preventing equal opportunity for good conditions of life for all our citizens�. (Eleanor Roosevelt, My Day, Dec. 10, 1952)

Merseyside, England: Promenade. 1986. First edition. Oblong quarto. Stiff wrappers. As new. SIGNED by Parr. $350 Parr’s third book and first in color. “‘The Last Resort’ burst upon the photographic scene with the force of a volcano, producing, to say the least, a mixed critical reaction.

It is no exaggeration to say that ‘The Last Resort’ was a defining moment in British photography.” (Gerry Badger)

Rodchenko employs the montage technique superbly to crowd each picture space with multiple imagery, containing apparently contrasting juxtapositions and abrupt shifts in scale that suggest all the complexities and paradoxes of Mayakovsky’s verse.” (Parr & Badger) Parr & Badge, volume 1, p. 91. 307

Individually, the photographs range wildly in quality, but the book’s layout and sequence give them a minor-key vitality and an unkempt brilliance.” (Andy Grundberg, New York Times Book Reviw, 1988) Parr & Badger, volume 3, p. 166.

New York, New York: Rizzoli. 1990. First edition. Quarto. Cloth. Fine in near fine photographically illustrated dust jacket. $250 “‘Untitled Film Stills’ struck an extraordinary cultural chord, touching every salient point on the postmodernist wish list. Sherman’s pictures of female characters in stereotypical movie situations - the sexy librarian, the woman in jeopardy, the adulterous housewife, and so on - gave not only feminist commentators, but also any kind of media theorist, plenty to write about... They are good photographs, put together with a rare combination of calculation and spontaneity, of knowingness and naivety.” (Parr & Badger) Parr & Badger, volume 2, p. 42.

Fine in near fine/fine photographically illustrated dust jacket. $500 “Shore’s is the art of deadpan – rejecting exotic compositions, artful editing, or facile simplification. He accepts the threadbare banality of the American scene, the jerry-rigged, the down-at-the-heels seediness of our rural landscape and the spatial looseness of our towns, recapturing the overfamiliar, making it poignant, coherent, and almost lovable.” (Robert Venturi, rear cover Uncommon Places)

New York, New York: Times Books. 1987. Text by Andy Grundberg and Anne Tucker. First edition. Oblong quarto. Cloth. Fine in fine photographically illustrated dust jacket. $600 “Sternfeld’s photographic tour of America is a search for the truth of a country not just as it exists in a particular era but as it is in its ever-evolving essence.

Prague, Czech Republic: Fr. Borovy. 1945. Text by Jinrich Heisler. First trade edition. Photographically illustrated wrappers. Very good plus. $1,100 “This remains a haunting photobook, 50 years after the war. It is a prime example of one of the photobook’s great truths--it’s not necessarily the individual pictures that count, but what you do with them.” (Parr & Badger) “‘On the Needles of These Days’ is a Surrealist meditation on war and resistance… the book’s aura of alienation, repression, and anxiety not only captured the war’s home front theatre of the absurd, it anticipated the depth of postwar pessimism.” (Vince Aletti in Roth) Parr & Badger, volume 1, p. 197; Open Book, pp. 140-141; Roth, p. 116.

357

Tokyo, Japan: Shashin Dojinsha. 1966. First edition. Quarto. Paper covered hardboard. Brochure and printed slipcase, as issued. Fine (save for subtle bookplate remnant). $2,500 “Tomatsu’s justly renowned close-ups of various objects destroyed by the explosion – a watch stopped at precisely 11:02, a headless statue and, most powerful of all, a melted beer bottle…where the fused glass stands in for the wrecked bodies. The horror that this simple image evokes… demonstrates conclusively that Tomatsu was right to abandon the literal in favour of the allusive and metaphorical… for describing the postwar Japanese dilemma.” (Parr & Badger) Parr & Badger, volume 1, pp. 274,pp. 276-277; Open Book, p. 226.

366

368

“Ulmann’s soft-focus photos — rendered as tactile as charcoal drawings in the superb gravure reproductions here — straddle Pictorialism and Modernism even as they appear to dissolve into memory. But if there is a romantic haze in the air, Ulmann is more clear eyed than sentimental about her subjects.” (Vince Aletti in Roth) Roth, pp. 78-79.

The Hague, Netherlands: Uitgegeven Door De Nederlandse Boekenclub. 1959. First edition. Large square octavo. Paper covered illustrated hardboards. Fine. $650 This, along with Dennis Sotck’s Jazz Street and William Claxton’s Jazzlife are the crowning achievements of mid-century Jazz photography. “Elsken’s small format camera and fast speed film (are) the prefect combination to catch the spontaneity of what is transpiring both on stage and in the crowd. Within a few frames he shifts our vantage point from passive observers of the musicians to placing us in the shoes and on the stage among the players… The page layouts have their own rhythms and structure that are as metaphorically musical as necessary to… express the excitement felt while listening to the music.” (SB4) Parr & Badger, volume 1, p. 246. 370

Yellow stain where balloon was, else missing. $1,500 “A disjointed and playful pastiche, ‘Index (Book)’ has the impromptu feel of a project thrown together as a lark. Most of its pages are filled with high-contrast, snapshot-style black-and-white photographs taken by Billy Name. As if to puncture this glam bubble, ‘Index (Book)’ is also filled with an ingratiating array of gimmicks. Among them: a pop-up illustration of a castle under attack (with photos of Warhol & Co. collaged into its windows), a red pleated accordion tucked into a gatefold, another gatefold with Andy’s nose in profile sliced into a series of colored flaps, a balloon, a Velvets record, a Chelsea Girls ad on a spring, and a Hunt’s tomato paste can that pops up between two head shots of International Velvet.” (Vince Aletti in Roth) Parr & Badger, volume 2, pp. 144-145; Roth, pp. 188-189.

380


Weber, Bruce. O Rio De Janeiro

New York, New York: Knopf. 1986. First edition. Tall quarto. Illustrated stiff wrappers. Fine. “Weber turned his trademark fiction of youthful exuberance and sexy camaraderie into a fast-paced montage intercut with landscapes, still lifes, news photos and family snapshots… O Rio is most successful as a carefully planned act of seduction.” (Vince Aletti in Roth) Parr & Badger, volume 1, p. 135; Roth, pp. 254-255; Auer, p. 668.

He also maintained a working darkroom in the trunk of his car to hasten delivery of photos. Naked City was the inspiration for the 1948 film of the same name. “Photobook masterpiece, one of the great documentary photobooks. His ‘Naked City’ is essentially a nocturnal book, to be put alongside Brassai and Brandt. Beneath its Rabelaisian tough-guy exterior, this is a book with heart.” (Parr & Badger) 382
