Alexey Brodovitch - Ballet - First Edition Photography Book
By Alexey Brodovitch
Located in New York, NY
Brodovitch, Alexey. Ballet It is speculated that “only a few hundred copies of Ballet were ever printed, and that most of them were distributed as gifts to the artist’s inner circle rather than to bookstores. But if the book’s audience was limited, it was also quite select, and Ballet had enormous impact among the design and photo cognoscenti. No wonder; more than half a century later, the book still looks radical, still feels exciting.” -Roth, The Book of 101 Books First edition of Brodovitch’s masterpiece; of profound influence in the history of photography and photobooks. “Although known primarily as a mentor and patron of photographers, due in large part to his position as art director and graphic designer at Harper’s Bazaar, Alexey Brodovitch also made a legendary photobook of his own. Ballet, published in 1945 by J J Augustin in New York, has become a photobook legend for two reasons. Firstly, only a few hundred copies were printed, so the book is more talked about than actually seen. Secondly, the volume was extremely radical, both in terms of the images themselves and their incorporation into the design and layout... “The 104 pictures in Ballet had been taken by Brodovitch between 1935 and 1937. He photographed ballet...
