[SIGNED] BORIS MIKHAILOV CASE HISTORY

SIGNED BY BORIS! 1999 first edition of one of the great photography books - certainly one of the most harrowing and desperately bittersweet. Boris Mikhailov's Case History is a collective portrait of those whose lives have fallen apart amidst the turmoil of epochal change, people whom history has left behind. Street kids getting high, adults looking for food, dirt-covered men and women washing themselves in Mikhailov's apartment, homeless people caressing each other's decrepit bodies : unflinchingly brutal and yet dignified images of aspects of the human condition that we prefer to repress

Hardcover with dustwrapper. In very good condition. 24 x 34 cm. 480 pages.
