Description:
New York: Harry Abrams, 1985. First edition. Hardcover. Near fine/Fine. Avedon traveled the American West for five years under a commission from the Amon Carter Museum. Against a stark white background, he photographed people living in rural areas and fresh from hard, industrial work. The result is a powerful portrait of the unromantic West-slaughterhouse workers, hardscrabble farmers, migrant farmworkers, coal miners, and even prisoners. With an essay by Laura Wilson at the back of the book. Not paginated, but approximately 180 pages plus one fold-out image. 11-1/4 by 14-1/4 inches. This is the hardcover issue; the book was issued simultaneously in paperback with a different cover design. First edition (first printing with no additional printings noted). A near fine, slightly spine-faded copy in a fine, unprinted acetate dust jacket.

Description:
New York: Abrams, 1985. First printing. Hardcover. Near Fine/fine. Quarto, cloth with photo onlay, in original acetate or mylar dust jacket, near fine with just a touch of fading to top of front cover and also to spine. Muhlert was the director at the time of the Amon Carter Museum in Fort Worth, TX, and in the dedicatory note from Avedon regarding her predecessor (Mitchell Wilder), although he does not thank her by name, it was under her guidance that this project, started by Avedon in the late 1970s with Wilder's assistance, became realized. The museum was its launching point in inspiration as well as the first stop on its exhibition cycle. Important association copy -- inscribed "with affection" by Avedon.
