I was thrilled to be purchasing my first Jim Dine work! Had no idea who Friedlander was! Now I'm doubly excited! Thanks! And of course you bought the book, you made me want to buy it!!

It was in very good condition and the price being asked for it was $400.<br /><br />I didn't even try to haggle and four crisp one-hundred dollar bills later, I walked out the front door with it tucked firmly under my arm and a silly grin on my face.JGhttp://audiidudii.aminus3.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4935046131385109105.post-35556458103450991552010-07-26T10:08:07.736-07:002010-07-26T10:08:07.736-07:00At the Photographs Do Not Bend show the photo appe...At the Photographs Do Not Bend show the photo appeared to be dry mounted on to the paper the etching was was on.

It's a ridiculous amount of money for a book, and certainly I would never spend that amount for some title found online. But that has nothing to do with the main motivation for buying it, that I was meant to find it in that place and return home with it. I think the decision is like a Minor White teaching exercise, a lesson in paying attention to opportunity, but not in a foolhardy way.Blake Andrewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07187987264904729243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4935046131385109105.post-44797622992963047092010-07-24T21:57:40.615-07:002010-07-24T21:57:40.615-07:00I am an avid photo book viewer and collector but w...I am an avid photo book viewer and collector but whenever they get pricey I think of the film and paper I could get and potential images created and then decide .... also interested in your decision....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4935046131385109105.post-28783309826717915142010-07-24T11:11:53.940-07:002010-07-24T11:11:53.940-07:00If you didn't buy it, I'm going to be real...If you didn't buy it, I'm going to be really angry, because Jim Dine is absolutely stellar, and the book is worth way more than $200.

I don't know much about the show but I think the original vintage pieces somehow combine photos and etching in one print.
