Speaking With Hands First Edition by Jennifer Blessing

About the Item

Speaking With Hands by Jennifer Blessing. Guggenheim Museum, 2004. First edition hardcover with dust jacket. Published for the exhibition of the same name at Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, June 4 - September 8, 2004. In October 1993, Henry M. Buhl purchased a photograph by Alfred Stieglitz of Georgia O'Keeffe's hands. This photograph would come to be the cornerstone of a private collection that now includes over 1000 images by some of the most famous as well as little-known and emerging artists. Focusing on the theme of the hand, Buhl gathered images spanning the history of photography, from a photogenic drawing negative made in 1840 by William Henry Fox Talbot to serial Polaroids made in 2002 by Cornelia Parker. NPT Books, a division of N.P. Trent Antiques, has a large collection of used and out of print books on art, architecture, decoration and antiques with a focus on 1st editions, signed and limited editions.
