[PHOTOGRAPHY]. OPALKA, Roman. Opalka - Self-Portraits.. Paris, Editions Yvon Lambert / Editions Courtes et longues, 2011. In-4 (31 x 27 cm), hardcover, cardboard binding with illustrated dust jacket. 260 pp. First edition of this spectacular series of self-portraits by the Franco-Polish visual artist Roman Opałka (1931–2011), begun in 1965 and completed upon his death in 2011. His approach was to give tangible form to the passage of time and life in the face of death. The book features numerous fold-out photographic plates mounted on tabs. Opałka’s self-portraits, presented as frontal passport photos, with his gaze fixed on the camera and the viewer, mark the inexorable passage of time. Each new portrait is a trace of his presence, still alive at a given moment. From 1965 to 2011, the artist reached a total of 5,607,249 portraits and created thousands more, now famous for his rather extreme, repetitive, and rigorous approach. In the art world, his persistence is recognized as a form of courage. A very fine copy, in perfect condition.
