18 November 2019: 10×10 hosted a salon with Andrew Roth and Christian Patterson at Penumbra Foundation in Manhattan.
For photobook collectors, Andrew Roth, doesn’t really need an introduction. Roth, a rare-book and private art dealer, has been publishing artist’s books and books on the history of books under his imprint PPP Editions since 1999. He maintained a gallery on New York’s upper east side for 18 years where he exhibited primarily photography, with a focus on Japanese and American works from the 1970s. In 2001, he published The Book of 101 Books which instigated a meaningful photographic book-collecting market. His most recent titles include Mitch Epstein’s Sunshine Hotel (2019), co-published with Steidl, and Artists Who Make Books (2017), co-published with Phaidon.
Christian Patterson is the author of Sound Affects (2007), Redheaded Peckerwood (2011, Recontres d’Arles Author Book Award), and Bottom of the Lake (2015). His conceptually and visually layered work has been described as novelistic, subjective documentary of the historical past, and mixes photographs with other media. He is a Guggenheim Fellow (2013) and winner of the Grand Prix Images Vevey (2015). His work is in the collections of the National Gallery of Art, Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), and J. Paul Getty Museum, among others. He’s currently at work on his next book, Gong Co.
Thank you to Penumbra and Leandro Villaro for hosting this salon.
