first edition
2003
by GOLDBLATT, David
Johannesburg: Goodman Gallery Editions, 2003. Fine in a fine jacket.. First Edition. Square folio. Of 400 copies of the trade edition, this is one of about 200 issued with a dust jacket. Formalized close-ups of the "particulars" of bodies shot in Goldblatt's native South Africa, mostly 1975-1982. The juxtaposition of ever present issues of race and class is evident here in minute detail: from the manicures of rich Afrikaners to the calloused feet of a grandmother and a child in black Transkei. (Parr / Badger, v2, 114-115).
