Both are an edition of 12 printed in 1990 by his grandson Gerd.</P>

Re: August Sander (attn. Fuuma)



I am not Fuuma but I prefer the second one. I enjoy the contrast of the darkness including the facial expression infront of the lighter endless avenue. Emptiness.</p>

Re: August Sander (attn. Fuuma)

agreed with kira on both accounts (not beeing fuuma and the second picture). oh, and thanks for screwing me out of $120 buddy, because you just reminded me i need to have his 7-volume (original blame goes to fuuma), so i ordered it. are you buying that DRKSHDW tee now? [66]

Re: August Sander (attn. Fuuma)



yes of course if you izn't fuuma you can comment</P>


i just know he is a AS fan and always talks about how the Sartorialist thinks of himself as the modern day Sander</P>
<P mce_keep="true"></P>


Anyways, I do like the 2nd one in the sense that you could send him down the runway and he'd fit in with a Lanvin show</P>


The first one I like because they are farmers and yet we have one in a double breasted tux</P>

well, id have to say i was the authority on this, on offence fuuma, since i bought the "girl in a circus caravan" in 2001 and paid 2200 ( all the money i had in the world at the time, as this is my favorite picture ever taken). another gallery, i think it was boesky had the estate and were charging 3600 or something absurd, although i think they stopped dealing w photography once they realized how lame they were. buy it from a photo gallery like howard greenberg, they will give you a non inflated price.
</p>

i wouldn't get the painter as sarty mcfly has jizzed on it and ruined it forever. 2 farmers is cooler.</p>

if you post on more thing that you have just bought that i already own, i will leave SZ</p>

Re: August Sander (attn. Fuuma)



okay yah that ruins the painter than if sart likes it ;)</P>


funny because I was also looking at the girl in circus caravan as well</P>


something about the farmers speaks to me on a personal level. my family has a very large and substantial argicultural business, so the farming aspect is in my roots (and helps provide the lifestyle i'm accustomed to) and then icing on the cake is seeing the farmers dressed so well</P>
<P mce_keep="true"></P>


hmmm, well we have the same drkshdw jacket so we got our clothing down </P>


unless you own any Murakami, John Button, Walter Briski, Arthur Tress or Athony Goicolea you're safe in the art similarity aspect</P>

Re: August Sander (attn. Fuuma)



please dont buy the girl haaha whats it run for now?</p>

if it speaks to you on a personal level, you should go for it, dont remember the year on that maybe 1920's but its that brilliant allegory that germans in particular (see murnau's sunrise) at the time were obsessed with. moving to the city from the country....progress...i love the barn in this too so beautiful, you can just see the path from the barn to the farmers as an historical timeline, which is essentially the key to sander. </p>

murakami--well i owned some in 1998 before anybody had heard of him and before he sold out big time. i sold it at auction and made a tidy profit, probably should have waited a few years but couldn't stand looking at it. </p>

i have lots of thom browne, although i find it very hard to wear. </p>

pants on your legs, shoes on your feet, jacket and shirts on your chest typically works for me</P>

Re: August Sander (attn. Fuuma)



The two farmers are amazing. I would actually say that they are not very "well dressed," at least not in the way the man in the other photograph is, but the way they are wearing those suits is so interesting--just a little bit off and wrong, but somehow, all the better for it.</P>


Very envious of your prints, fellas. [:$]</P>

that set is a total bargain--more than worth every penny for the hours you will spend with it. congrats on finally buying it, Faust...you and Fuuma and I triple-dipped on that one. [73]</P>

[Fuuma]

Re: August Sander (attn. Fuuma)

Hmm, two pretty good choice although I'd say the composition and strong thematic components of the first one should grow on you over time. To be honest I thought they went for slightly higher these days, not so bad. You got the books? Three brothers is, of course, an exemplary Sander but, judging by some of the acquisitions I remember you posting on sf, I don't think you necessarily feel the need to go for those. Still that third brother (milkman"s son?) is quite rakish.

My comparison was - gorgeous 7-volume book set that inspires even Yohji vs. cdg x monocle cologne. case closed, pm sent, game over.</p>
