Fred Herzog

Fred Herzog became known primarily for his unusual use of color in the 1950s and 1960s, a time when art photography was almost exclusively associated with black-and-white images. For more than 50 years, the Canadian photographer worked almost exclusively with Kodachrome slide films, and it was only in the past decade that technological advancements allowed him to produce archival pigment prints that match the extraordinary colors and intensity of Kodachrome slides. In this regard, his photographs can be seen as prototypes for the New Color photographers of the 1970s. This monograph brings together more than 230 images, many of which have never been reproduced before, and includes contributions from celebrated authors such as David Campany and Hans-Michael Koetzle. Fred Herzog is the most comprehensive publication to date.
