A catalog charting Henry Wessel's artistic evolution.

Henry Wessel (1942-2018) is an important American artist who made what he called "still photographs that function as visual haikus." His practice developed over time and concluded in a series of elegantly sequenced books with minimal information beyond the images, allowing them to speak for themselves.

Henry Wessel features examples of photographs from Wessel's full oeuvre, culminating in sequenced samples of two late portfolios also issued as books, Incidents (2013) and Traffic (2017). The book concludes with eulogies by Sandra Phillips and Tod Papageorge for their friend, Henry.
