Elinor Carucci: Closer

We are pleased to announce the arrival in stock of the republished hardback version of Elinor Carucci's Closer. Elinor Carucci was twenty-two years old when she made the earliest photographs in this book. It was published in 2002 and quickly sold out, a testament to the power of the vison of the then unknown, unproven photographer.



Her work is very intimate and personal, the personal feelings that happen in her own life with people close to her. Her parents, grandparents and spouse are the central players, each of whom she portrays gently but unflinchingly in her images.



Her color photographs work with a definite color palette, regardless of whether or not this was intentional; there is a mesmerizing quality to the serene blues and vivid reds set against the myriad tones of bare skin.



The only other photographer who has looked at the human body with such candor is the late John Coplans and we currently have his Body Parts also in stock.
