Santa Fe: Arena Editions, 2002. First edition. Hardcover, 282pp., 12.5 x 10.5 inches. Near Fine. Minimal wear to dust jacket, inside pages are clean and bright. Winogrand: 1964 gives cohesive form to Garry Winogrand's America, in over 200 photographs made in a single year, the majority previously unpublished. Taken together, these unparalleled, newly researched images depict the country at a cultural crossroads, still a frontier nation-naive and quirky-but increasingly linked by information and entertainment media. Winogrand travels the United States with his characteristic appetite for life-shooting on the beach, at state fairs and stock shows, tourist attractions and sporting events-creating what Tod Papageorge deemed "the most accessible body of pictures he ever made." A year after the assassination of JFK, Winogrand summons the national mood as the Vietnam War begins and the Civil Rights movement results in significant legislation. In the year of Dr. Strangelove and the New York World's Fair, Winogrand searches for meaning in his work and the world it reflects. "I look at the pictures I have done up to now," he wrote in 1963, "and they make me feel that who we are and what we feel and what is to become of us just doesn't matter."
