Photographs by Lee Friedlander
Afterword by Peter Kayafas
Lee Friedlander: Real Estate presents 155 photographs spanning 60 years of the artist's exploration of the built environment in the American social landscape. Collectively, these photographs add to one of the broadest and most nuanced visual depictions of America. Individually, they evince the sly intellectual humor and keen observations for which Friedlander is justifiably celebrated. Along the way, of course, the photographer expands our idea of what constitutes real estate, just as he compels us to recognize photography's ability to reveal essential aspects of our lives over time.
