Some images are so deeply ingrained in the American vernacular, they jolt us with their familiarity. A major new monograph, Gregory Crewdson (Rizzoli), with an introduction by Nancy Spector and a series of image-inspired short narratives by Jonathan Lethem, captures nearly three decades of the photographer’s iconic work. From the elaborately staged, small-town New England set pieces that made him famous to his delicate, little-seen black and whites of frenzied fireflies shot by the artist during a solitary summer at a family cabin in the Berkshires (our favorites), this defining collection reveals an artist touched in equal measure by the magic of cinema and a more private, otherworldy strangeness, the “moments between moments” of isolation and wonderment.
A signing with the artist will be held at 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, November 23 at the Gagosian Shop: RSVP to crewdson@gagosian.com. Space is limited.
