Photographs

Fred Herzog (1930-2019)

Synopsis

Fred Herzog: Photographs explores the pioneering color work of Fred Herzog, a notable figure in 1950s-60s art photography, when black and white dominated. His early adoption of Kodachrome film positioned him as a precursor to "New Colour" artists like Stephen Shore and William Eggleston. Herzog's reliance on slide film initially restricted his exhibition prospects due to print limitations, but digital advancements have since allowed for high-quality print offerings of his urban street photography. This book features authoritative texts by Jeff Wall, Claudia Gochmann, Sarah Milroy, and Douglas Coupland, contextualizing Herzog's impactful contributions to photography.
