| Web Author Description | Joel Meyerowitz (b.1938) began his career making spontaneous pictures on the streets of New York and has become known as one of the most important street photographers of his generation. He was one of a small group of photographers who, in the 1960s and 70s was instrumental in changing attitudes towards colour photography from those of resistance to universal acceptance. An innovator and highly influential teacher, he has won innumerable awards and is best known for his pioneering colour photographs of architecture, light and space. |
| webLongDescription | Taking My Time is the first career retrospective on the work of renowned and influential American photographer Joel Meyerowitz (b.1938), including over 550 famous and previously unpublished photographs spanning his extensive 50-year career. Edited and sequenced with the photographer, this deluxe, limited-edition publication comprises two volumes in a slipcase with a signed print, DVD and special inserts. It includes photographs from Meyerowitz’s complete oeuvre, including his best-known colour and black and white street photographs from the 60s and 70s, the Cape Cod seascapes, his landmark images documenting Ground Zero after 9/11 and, more recently, his work in Tuscany and on the parks of New York City. Showing the growth and development of Meyerowitz and his work, Taking My Time is arranged into discrete bodies of work, split over two volumes, which explore the pivotal points of Meyerowitz’s career as his evolution as an observer of human life unfolds. The reader is afforded access to his complete body of work, his photography – in both colour and black and white – highlights the studied intricacies of his art as he explores themes of human intimacy, architecture, light and space. Uniquely, Meyerowitz himself provides short texts to open each section of the book that, in his authoritative and lucid voice, explain the position, relevance and ideas behind the development of his work. Defining images from throughout his career are also investigated with expanded, personal captions written by the photographer. Arguably one of America’s greatest photographers working today, Meyerowitz has always captured moments that would pass other photographers by: noticing the precarious prospects of a child within a crowd or the macabre connotations of a mattress trussed up on a car roof. While Meyerowitz photographs the everyday, there’s often a note of chaos or surprise in his images – in the way a Parisian man lies sprawled over the pavement while another steps nonchalantly over him, the manner in which a ball of fire hovers over inexpressive passers-by, and the absurdly-dressed posturing of his fellow holiday-makers in Cape Cod. Instrumental in changing the attitude towards the use of colour photography from one of resistance to nearly universal acceptance, he is an innovator and teacher, inspiring a younger generation of photographers working today. |
