About the Book:
Afterword by Nancy Salguero McKay, Executive Director, Highline Heritage Museum With photographs by Robert Adams, Endia Beal, Paul Berger, Elinor Carucci, Catherine Chalmers, Adrain Chesser, William Christenberry, Bruce Davidson, Jeff Dunas, Larry Fink, Marina Font, David Hilliard, Lisa Kereszi, Isaac Layman, An-My Lê, Eirik Johnson and Daniel Carillo, Mary Ellen Mark, Jim Marshall, Graham Nash, Sylvia Plachy, Eugene Richards, Meghann Riepenhoff, Charlie Rubin, Stephen Shore, Jonathan David Smyth, Paul Strand, Edward Steichen, Carrie Mae Weems, Alice Wheeler, Will Wilson, and others. Seeing Being Seen offers a glimpse into the challenging and rewarding choices of a career in publishing, and in the arts. This text-based memoir by a woman who, as she notes in the introduction, “began reading picture books and ended up publishing them,” is punctuated by iconic photographs—gifted to the author from projects, obtained through trade, or purchased in support of non-profit arts organisations—by some of American photography’s master practitioners.
