{"product_id":"road-atlas-beate-kemfert-9783777439617","title":"Road Atlas: Street Photography from Helen Levitt to Pieter Hugo","description":"Streets have always drawn the attention of photographers. As both defining features of urban landscapes and places for all varieties of chance encounter, they offer a nearly endless combination of static and moving elements that are the stuff of stunning photography--as the photographers in \u003ci\u003eRoad Atlas \u003c\/i\u003eshow brilliantly. From classic New York City street scenes by Helen Levitt to the works of the more contemporary street photographers, including, among others, Philip-Lorca diCorcia, Beat Streuli, and Pieter Hugo, \u003ci\u003eRoad Atlas\u003c\/i\u003e presents a survey of the very best of street photography. Captured here is the everyday bustle of streets, sidewalks, and alleyways from Tokyo to São Paulo and beyond, offering tantalizing glimpses of buildings and their inhabitants, people immersed in their daily activities--shedding light, in the process, on poverty and prosperity, stagnation and vanishing urban spaces, and sometimes even of radical change. Through the practiced eyes of the twenty-eight artists showcased here, streets are threads linking cities and bringing people together yet also tokens of the distances that separate them and consign them to solitude. With more than 100 photographs from the renowned DZ Bank art collection in Frankfurt, \u003ci\u003eRoad Atlas\u003c\/i\u003e captures both the oft-overlooked moments of everyday life and the distinctive character of cities worldwide. It accompanies an exhibition that will also be shown at the Opelvillen Rüsselsheim and the Kunstmuseum Dieselkraftwerk Cottbus.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Beate Kemfert\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3777439614\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783777439617\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hirmer Verlag GmbH\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.20h x 9.60w x 0.70d","brand":"Beate Kemfert","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47200993509631,"sku":"9783777439617","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2d5e5ea2-2b82-4c41-ae57-bad92b432ee7.jpg?v=1756788516","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/road-atlas-beate-kemfert-9783777439617","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
