Photographs and Etchings. 1969. 17 gelatin silver prints by Lee Friedlander and 16 etchings by Jim Dine. Each between 12 x 18 and 18 x 26 cm or reverse (46 x 76 cm). Housed in original black faux-leather clamshell box with embossed title (entire size 49 x 80 x 3 cm). Published by Petersburg Press, London, in an edition of 75 plus 15 artist’s proofs.

In this unusual pairing of mediums and sensibilities, Photographs and Etchings brings together Lee Friedlander’s sharply observed street photography with Jim Dine’s gestural, psychologically charged etchings. Rather than illustrating or responding to each other, the works inhabit parallel registers - Friedlander’s formal precision counterbalanced by Dine’s raw mark-making - offering a dual meditation on surface, structure, and subjectivity in the American visual landscape of the late 1960s. The portfolio reads less as collaboration than as a deliberate juxtaposition, allowing two distinctive artistic voices to echo, interrupt, and refract across the page. – Some edge wear and small tear on top right corner of clamshell box. Some light chemical staining from the printing process, along with smudge marks and a small tear to one folio; otherwise all in very good condition.
