From 1973 to 1974, Lee Friedlander and Burt Wolf edited four
iconic portfolios at the Double Elephant Press in New York,
featuring photographs by some of the most influential photographers of the twentieth century: Manuel Alvarez Bravo,
Walker Evans, Garry Winogrand, and Lee Friedlander himself.
Each of the four limited edition portfolios contained fifteen
photographs by each artist, representing their distinct visions
that can be described in the words of Walker Evans as “oddly
refreshing, unselfconsciously striking, and unpredictably
adventurous.”
This publication honors the unique collaborative project that
was to become a touchstone in the history of photography.
