Kurzbeschreibung
In seinem gesamten Werk hat sich der Fotograf Larry Sultan mit privaten, politischen und sozialen Facetten des "American dream" befasst. Dieses Buch versammelt zahlreiche Aufnahmen seiner drei bekanntesten Serien: "Pictures from Home", "The Valley" und "Homeland". Fast alle entstanden im kalifornischen San Fernando Valley, wo der Künstler aufwuchs. In "Pictures from Home" hat er über einen längeren Zeitraum das Leben seiner Eltern porträtiert, "The Valley" beschäftigt sich mit der kalifornischen Pornofilmindustrie, die sich in den typischen Suburbs angesiedelt hat. Und seine letzte Serie "Homeland" zeigt pastorale Landschaftsaufnahmen in sie hat Sultan mexikanische Tagelöhner integriert, die das trügerische Idyll auf merkwürdige Weise kommentieren.
Larry Sultan (1946-2009) lehrte seit 1978 Fotografie und war seit 1989 Professor für Kunst am California College of Arts and Crafts. Er erhielt u.a. mehrere National Endowments of the Arts und hatte Einzelausstellungen im Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, im Musée de l'Elysée, Lausanne, im San Francisco Museum of Modern Art und im Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris.
In Zusammenarbeit mit der Galerie Thomas Zander, Köln, und der Kestnergesellschaft, Hannover.
Ausstellung: Kestnergesellschaft Hannover, 11. Juni bis 22. August 2010.

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
The title comes from the avenue the Sultan family moved to in the San Fernando Valley from Brooklyn in 1949 and the book is published in conjunction with an exhibition of Sultan's photos at the Gallerie Zander, Cologne in August 2010. He died in 2009 and his photographic legacy is in several books, especially these three: `Evidence' (1977) with fifty-six mono photos, `Pictures from home' (1992) with ninety colour and twenty mono and `The Valley' (2004) with ninety colour photos.
This book has fifty photos with eighteen each from Home and the Valley and fourteen from an assignment in 2008 called Homeland. My repeated viewing through the pages confirms that Larry Sultan had something to say. `Pictures from home' is a visual diary of life with his parents. Of the eighteen photos six show his mum with a partially obscured face, just the sort of thing, I thought, that commentators could well pick up on and offer all kinds of deep and penetrating analysis regarding the family dynamic. How about his mum wasn't too keen on having her photo taken anyway! Photographer Mitch Epstein tried the same format with his 2003 `Family business' (ISBN 978-3882439137).
The eighteen from the `Pictures from the Valley' feature an interesting idea: coverage of the porn industry in San Fernando. Rather than shoot videos in a studio, it seems Valley residents hire out their homes for the two or three days it takes to shoot a typical porn movie (a sort of ramshackle fame for the home owners). The photos are all very tasteful and suggest that, like real movie-making, there is a lot hanging about involved.
The fourteen from `Homeland' is also an interesting concept because Sultan hired day laborers to stand in the various landscape shots he took of southern California housing developments. The positioning of the men (all from Central America) suggests a Gregory Crewdson feel but without the complex visual storyline Crewdson injects into his shots.
I thought `Katherine Avenue' a wonderful overview of Sultan's work but I was disappointed that there were only fifty photos (so three stars) and none from his fascinating collaboration with Mike Mandel in their `Evidence' book. To really make this title complete the publishers should have included largish thumbnails of all of the spreads from Sultans three books and put them with the existing biographic pages in the back of the this book. The title might have become the standard reference on this intriguing photographer.
