Lifson, Ben SAMARAS: PHOTOGRAPHS 1969-1986 <p> Gordonsville, VA, U.S.A.: Aperture Foundation, Incorporated, 1988 Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. First Edition. 183 pp, 9" x 12" oblong format, profusely illustrated in full-color. This is a comprehensive look at the body of photographic work produced by the very creative artist Lucas Samaras, starting with his earliest "AutoPolaroids" up through his portrait and large-scale work. <p> Greek born, Lucas SAMARAS is a photographer, painter, and sculptor who makes his eccentrically cluttered Manhattan apartment the backdrop and subject of his flamboyant nude self-portraits and nude portraits of friends. Most of the images are Polaroids that he began using in the 1960's, first in grid arrangements of small pictures, then as cut and assembled photographs, often with manipulated emulsions. His later work employs 20x24 film. Essayist Ben Lifson, the former Village Voice critic, traces the evolution of Samaras's expression and introduces each distinct stage of the artists work. With a chronology and bibliography of books, exhibit catalogs, and articles.
