Erwitt, Elliott (d. i. Elio Romano Erwitz). Museum Watching. Tokyo, Creo Corporation 1998. 4° (31 x 23,5 cm.). 119, (1) p. with approx. 100 Duotone plates. Hardcover with illustr. Dustjacket. Vgl. Koetzle, Fotografen A-Z 112. – Rare Japanese original edition; the English edition was published in 1999 by Phaidon in London. – „In Museum Watching, Erwitt presents his visual observations on the museum together for the first time in book form, including photographs from the late 1950s through to 1999. In this affectionate, wry and personal album, illuminated by his own text, Elliott entertains us by means of his conversation with art, making visual puns, tweaking a few noses and occasionally passing more serious comment. As museum-visiting establishes itself as far more popular than attending sports events, and with the big art show becoming serious business, Erwitt’s gentle humour provides not only the perfect antidote, but a subtly perceptive insight into the relationship between people and art, and people and their own selves“ (Phaidon). – Elliott Erwitt (1928-2023) „Known above all for his tragicomic photographs of dogs, paraphrasing the human and the all-too-human“ (H.-M. Koetzle). – „Elliott Erwitt is comparable to a narrator of small, seemingly insignificant stories, in which the situational logic of a moment emerges, to be read like a short aphorism of resounding effect“ (Robert Delpire in Koetzle). – A good copy.
