BLOSSFELDT, Karl.
Urformen der Kunst. Photographische Pflanzenbilder.
Herausgegeben mit einer einleitung von Karl Nierendorf.
Third edition. One of the greatest and most influential photographic books ever published. The artist was by training a botanist; his use of extreme close-up technique began as part of his study. However he swiftly developed a fully fledged abstracted aesthetic which found a ready audience around the world. Many subsequent photographers cite this book as a key influence on their work.
Quarto. Original blue grained paper boards with light grey cloth spine, titles to front cover and spine in red. 129 illustrations by Blossfeldt, mostly full page. A fine copy.
