Catalog for the most comprehensive Witkin-retrospective up to 1987

This 1st edition hardcover accompanies the most comprehensive retrospective of Witkin's work up to that date. The exhibition included 73 photographs taken between 1975 and 1987, along with a significant four-meter crucifix, a project stemming from his 1960s experiments with three-dimensional photography.

The show included a photographic reinterpretation of Velázquez's Las Meninas, created specifically for the exhibition. Witkin considered Velázquez, Picasso, and Miró among his greatest influences.
