From the publisher: "San Fernando Valley is where John Divola was born and raised, and it served as both backdrop and subject for his earliest, serious photographic explorations, made during the early 1970s. This previously unpublished body of work shows 'the Valley' through the eyes of a young photographer who would soon become an internationally-recognized artist with the exhibition and publication of his much more conceptual 'Zuma' series. The black and white photographs in 'San Fernando Valley' comprise a series of subject groupings which, pulled together, show early manifestations of the deadpan humor and the ability to capture everyday scenes wrapped in loneliness, for which Divola is now well-known. The book is also, and not incidentally, a fascinating record of a quintessentially 1970s Los Angeles culture. John Divola's work is the subject of numerous books and catalogues. Widely exhibited and collected throughout the United States, Europe, Japan and Australia, Divola's photographs are included in the permanent collections of many public and private institutions, including those of The Museum of Modern Art, New York; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Getty Museum, Los Angeles; and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art." From the publisher (about the NZ Library Series): "We are excited to announce the NZ Library, a new series of limited edition, highly collectible artist's books. Printed on Japanese art paper using our exclusive 'Daido black' inks, all books in the NZ Library have certain aspects in common: each title is produced using the highest material and production values; each is limited to 350 numbered and signed copies; each is bound in silk cloth and individually slipcased." The NZ Library will be built six titles at a time, with groupings curated to balance and play off of past, present and future titles in the series. While copies--such as this item--will be available to purchase individually, a generous discount is extended for orders of all six titles in any given set. ($150 per book compared to $250 per book.) Set 1 highlights work by some of the most creative and influential photographic artists active in Los Angeles during the 1970s; re-presents the long-overdue "wayward piece of the puzzle"-- John Schott's entire "Route 66 Motels" portfolio -- to the available literature relating to the groundbreaking New Topographics exhibition shown in 1975 at the George Eastman House in Rochester; offers new insight into Daido Moriyama's working methodology; and provides an ideal forum for the first international publication on the work of superstar contemporary artist Idris Khan."

La San Fernando Valley è dove John Divola è nato e cresciuto, ed è servita sia come sfondo che come soggetto per le sue prime, serie esplorazioni fotografiche, fatte durante i primi anni 1970. Questo corpo di lavoro inedito mostra "la Valle" attraverso gli occhi di un giovane fotografo che presto sarebbe diventato un artista riconosciuto a livello internazionale con l'esposizione e la pubblicazione della sua serie molto più concettuale "Zuma".Le fotografie in bianco e nero di "San Fernando Valley" comprendono una serie di raggruppamenti di soggetti che, messi insieme, mostrano le prime manifestazioni dell'umorismo impassibile e la capacità di catturare scene quotidiane avvolte nella solitudine, per le quali Divola è ora noto. Il libro è anche, e non a caso, un'affascinante testimonianza della cultura losangelina degli anni Settanta. San Fernando Valley is where John Divola was born and raised, and it served as both backdrop and subject for his earliest, serious photographic explorations, made during the early 1970s.

"From 1995 to 1998 I was working on a series of photographs of isolated houses in the desert at the east-end of the Morongo Valley in Southern California. As I meandered through the desert, a dog would occasionally chase my car. Sometime in 1996 I began to bring along a 35mm camera equipped with a motor drive and loaded with a fast and grainy black-and-white film. The process was simple, when I saw a dog coming toward the car I would pre-focus the camera and set the exposure. With one hand on the steering wheel, I would hold the camera out the window and expose anywhere from a few frames to a complete roll of film." (Foreword Divola).

Perfetto (Mint). . Prima edizione di 100 esemplari numerati e firmati (First edition of 100 numbered and signed copies). . Per la serie Los Angeles International Airport Noise Abatement Divola fotografa un quartiere abbandonato, acquistato per servire da cuscinetto antirumore per le nuove piste aeroportuali, concentrandosi sulle prove di precedenti ingressi non autorizzati da parte di vandali e graffitari.Anche se i soggetti fisici fotografati da John Divola spaziano dagli edifici ai paesaggi agli oggetti in studio, le sue preoccupazioni sono concettuali: sfidano i confini tra finzione e realtà, nonché i limiti dell'arte nel descrivere la vita. John Divola è originario della California del Sud e le sue immagini riflettono spesso quella zona, includendo la Los Angeles urbana o il vicino oceano, le montagne e il deserto.Uno dei primi progetti di Divola, Zuma (1979), gli è valso il plauso della critica. Zuma è una documentazione fotografica realizzata nel corso del tempo di una proprietà di fronte alla spiaggia che veniva utilizzata a intermittenza dai vigili del fuoco per esercitazioni antincendio. Divola ha osservato l'edificio nel corso di due anni, che è stato devastato da incendi, vandalismo e dai graffiti dell'artista stesso. Questi atti di "intervento" umano, a suo avviso, si sono integrati con gli inevitabili processi naturali di decadenza. Isolated Houses, le vivaci fotografie a colori di Divola che ritraggono abitazioni di una sola stanza nella zona desertica intorno a Twentynine Palms, in California, sono nate dal suo interesse di lunga data per il paesaggio della California meridionale. Al centro di ogni immagine quadrata c'è una casa quadrata, a volte mostrata da vicino, altre volte a distanza. Il rapporto fisico tra ogni struttura costruita dall'uomo e i suoi immediati dintorni sfuma le distinzioni visive tra ciò che è naturale e ciò che è artificiale. Un altro progetto recente è Dogs Chasing My Car in the Desert (2004).Divola vive a Riverside, in California, e insegna all'Università della California.
