HIRSCH, Walter

Walter Hirsch: Bilder 1960-1980

Helsingborg, Sweden: Forolitteratur. Fyra Förläggare AB, 1982. First Edition. Square quarto. A fine association copy, briefly INSCRIBED by Hirsch in Swedish to his compatriot Christer Stromholm. In translation, the inscription reads: "To Christer from Walter." Text by Rune Jonsson. Little-known artists' book by this Swedish photographer born in St. Petersburg; his second book. Divided into 18 sections of series of images shot between 1960-1980, and focussed either on places or individuals, with some photographs of women reminiscent of a more intimate and scaled down Sam Haskins. One section shot in the Canary Islands is particularly compelling. Only four copies located in OCLC. Fine in photo-illustrated laminated boards as issued.
