The group assigned this name to Koudelka quite aptly; for some time, they had been treating his famous photographs of Roma communities as quasi-religious icons in their places of prayer. \u003ci\u003eJosef Koudelka: Ikonar\u003c\/i\u003e is the first survey of the photographer to explore in depth his personal archive: 30,000 35mm contact sheets covering the years from 1960 to 2012.\u003cbr\u003eThe catalog is structured around key works from his most important series, including \u003ci\u003eTheatre\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eGypsies\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eInvasion 68: Prague and Exiles\u003c\/i\u003e. It also includes a section entirely devoted to Koudelka's archive, analyzing its role in his personal and artistic journey, as well as a selection of works from his key books. Altogether, the book addresses some of the central paradoxes of Koudelka's work, life and career: a nomadic life versus an unrelenting focus on collecting and archiving, and a constant revision and reworking of his iconic works versus a \"maximalist\" philosophical agenda.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 262\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.1 x 12.8 x 9.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 30, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48551344013561,"sku":"9783959056304","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/7vRPkjra-99783959056304.webp?v=1781907474","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/josef-koudelka-ikonar-archival-constellations-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
