Modern Photography
Goldblatt, David
Joburg Intersections. 2002. Giclée print on vellum. 50.5 x 32 cm (59.7 x 42 cm). Signed, dated and numbered. - Overall very good condition. A brilliant, richly coloured and high-contrast print with a narrow margin.
One of 45 copies. - Published by Edition Schellmann, Munich/New York on the occasion of documenta 11, Kassel. - This two-part work by David Goldblatt features two photographs from post-apartheid Johannesburg: at the top, an informal settlement with washing hanging outside makeshift corrugated iron huts; at the bottom, a hand-painted sign on a city pavement. Both images exemplify Goldblatt’s characteristic method of precise, unspectacular observation of places that lie between the grand narratives. Goldblatt is one of South Africa’s most significant documentary photographers; for decades, he documented the social and spatial order of the apartheid system and its aftermath through precise, quiet snapshots.
