Robert Heinecken: A Material History

2 of 2 available books

The Robert Heinecken Archive at the Center for Creative Photography--a comprehensive record of the life and work of the artist as well as a pop-culture time capsule of post-WWII America--represents one of the most compelling chapters in modern photographic and art history. It contains baby pictures, snapshots, birthday cards, letters, scribbles on napkins and envelopes, production materials, teaching notes and objects, videotapes of interviews and lectures, negatives, and documentary slides, as well as more than 500 art works. Drawing on these varied sources, artist and writer Mark Alice Durant reevaluates the career of this controversial and influential photo-artist and reconsiders the Heinecken legacy from our twenty-first century perspective. CCP archivist Amy Rule contributes an overview of the archive that is both ordered and improvisational, much like Heinecken's approach to his work. With 80 reproductions of unique art works and archival material.
