HIDO, Todd - House Hunting - SLIPCASED SIGNED REISSUE (2019)!

Background information

“The large color photographs of suburbia by US-american photographer Todd HIDO are lonely, forlorn, mysterious… and strangely comforting. HIDO photographs the interior rooms of repossessed tract homes, and the outsides of similar houses at night whose habitation is suggested by the glow of a television set or unseen overhead bulb.  Seldom does the similar evoke such melancholy. Yet rather than passing judgment on his anonymous subjects, Hido manages to turn the banal into something beautiful, imbuing his prints of interiors with soft pastels, and allowing the exteriors to glow in the cool evening air.” (© Nazraeli Press, 2000)

Additional information regarding the reissue

"The re-edit of 'House Hunting' is a newly remastered edition of the iconic and highly sought-after first monograph by Todd HIDO. To celebrate the upcoming 20th anniversary of this important photo book, 'House Hunting', – certainly one of the most influential and oft-cited photography monographs of our time – the publisher collaborated closely with the artist to achieve a new impression of the highest possible fidelity.  Printed on heavy weight matte art paper, using cutting-edge technologies in both the pre-press and production phases, this new edition of 'House Hunting' stays true to the original design and format while delivering even more accurate color rendition and nuances in tone and saturation.  It will be a welcome addition to collections lacking access to the very scarce original printings; and to those fortunate enough to own a copy of the original edition, it further illuminates the images themselves that first catapulted the artist and his first monograph to fame."
