About this product
Product Information
Vivid, clear-sighted images of American vernacular signage and architecture encountered along old US highways showcase the early black-and-white work of the acclaimed photographer Jim Dow The American photographer Jim Dow (b. 1942) is renowned for photographs that depict the built environment--he first gained attention for his panoramic triptychs of baseball stadiums--and for his skill at conveying the "human ingenuity and spirit" that suffuse the spaces. This book is the first to focus on Dow's early black-and-white pictures, featuring more than 60 photographs made between 1967 and 1977, a majority of which have never before been published. Indebted to the work of Walker Evans, a key mentor of Dow's, these photographs depict time-worn signage taken from billboards, diners, gas stations, drive-ins, and other small businesses. While still recognizable as icons of commercial Americana, without their context Dow's signs impart ambiguous messages, often situated between documentation and abstraction. Including a new essay by Dow that reveals his own perspective on the development of the work, Signs suggests how these formative years honed the artist's sensibility and conceptual approach.

Great seller. Fast handling. But the post office took four weeks to ship something approximately 10 hours away from me. ( maybe the post office should learn how to do their job and be accountable)
Seller though, helped, great communication, good price on product, generous and kind. Great to do business with. Thank you. ( the low star in shipping time is NOT the business fault it’s the beyond slow post office. )

The seller was helpful and responded to my questions quickly. I received the item just as described and I'm very excited to give it to my son. Thank you! The shipping costs are a bit high, but that is not the fault of the seller. The postage rates have gone up, but to help off set the cost of the shipping the seller offered me a discount. A+++++ Awesome seller.
