Tropism: Photographs by Ralph Gibson, 1st Ed., Hard Cover, 26-year retrospective

Ralph Gibson is a renowned American photographer whose works have been lauded for their “voluptuous beauty” and “darkly glamorous” high-contrast images of the urban world. These quotes from the San Francisco Chronicle and New York Times appear in Tropism, a retrospective of Gibson’s work from 1960 to 1986, “the biographical record of (his) growth as an artist,” a commentator says. Gibson’s photographs are included in more than 150 museum collections around the world. This wonderful volume, with its stark close-ups of architectural elements and statues side-by-side with sultry nudes and wispy clouds is a must-have for serious collectors and casual admirers of superb photography alike.
