Found, Not Lost
‘In my nineties, my work looks different than I’ve ever seen it before… There’s a time for photographs that say hello, and there’s a time to listen.’ – Elliott Erwitt
Over 170 previously unseen images by photographer Elliott Erwitt will be published for the first time in Found, Not Lost. Spanning more than sixty years, the photographs in the book, often taken during lulls or breaks between assignments in his prolific career, have been selected, edited and sequenced by Erwitt himself.
This book has been an opportunity for Erwitt to revisit the photographs he made in his early career and to uncover meaning upon second glance which was not apparent when the image was originally taken. The master of visual one-liners bold statement images replete with humour, irony and acknowledged absurdity the photographs selected for this book are quieter, more subtle and suggest Erwitt is increasing confidence in his own eye. By selecting these photographs he has begun to both examine and challenge how his younger self saw the world.

Regalo. Grande regalo. Uno dei pochi fotografi con un gran senso dello humour.
Le aveva scartate: "Lascia stare, foto inutili" scriveva, su un bigliettino saltato fuori dai grandi faldoni di negativi abbandonati.
E invece. Due anni per scegliere fra qualcosa come 600.000 mila negativi.
Questo é il risultato.
Meno male, per noi, che non ha lasciato stare.
