Lee Friedlander (born 1934) is an American photographer and artist. In the 1960s and 1970s, Friedlander evolved an influential and often imitated visual language of urban "social landscape," with many of his photographs including fragments of store-front reflections, structures framed by fences, posters and street signs. His work is characterized by its innovative use of framing and reflecting, often using the natural environment or architectural elements to frame his subjects. This is a first edition & first and only printing. Photos remain clean and intact for possible framing and display. Gift quality. FORN-MSB-1223-0697-HK1028
