Description
Duane Michals' Texas 1964 is a poignant and witty portrait of the American state in 1964. Commissioned by Robert Benton for Esquire magazine, these captivating black-and-white images capture a society both unchanged and transformed. The photographs showcase a Texas that grapples with racial divisions and economic and social gulfs, yet also embodies commercialised confidence and forward-looking optimism. This remarkable collection of images has been designed by Peter Willberg and printed in Italy on high-quality paper. Published in a limited edition of 1000 regular copies plus signed and numbered de luxe editions, Texas 1964 offers a unique glimpse into the state's complex history and identity.
