{"product_id":"zoe-leonard-secession-wiener-secession-vienna-1997","title":"Zoe Leonard — Secession, Wiener Secession, Vienna, 1997","description":"\u003cp\u003eSoftcover exhibition catalogue, 21 × 29.5 cm, 80 pages, black-and-white illustrations throughout. Good vintage condition: light handling wear, minor creasing, age toning to covers, and gentle corner softening. Clean internally.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePublished for Zoe Leonard’s exhibition at the Wiener Secession, Vienna, from 23 July–14 September 1997, this catalogue documents a decisive period in the artist’s early career. Produced before the broader recognition that followed projects such as \u003cem\u003eAnalogue\u003c\/em\u003e and years before \u003cem\u003eI Want a President\u003c\/em\u003e entered wider public consciousness, it captures Leonard at a moment when photography remained the central vehicle of her practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe publication reproduces a sequence of photographs made between the late 1980s and mid-1990s: landscapes, mirrors, storefronts, anatomical models, masks, interiors, and found arrangements. Across the book, ordinary objects and overlooked places become charged through attention rather than spectacle. An interview with Anna Blume provides additional context, touching on Leonard’s life in New York and the social realities surrounding the AIDS crisis during the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike many Secession catalogues of the 1990s, the book was produced primarily for exhibition visitors, specialist bookstores, and institutional distribution. It appears infrequently on the secondary market and is encountered far less often than Leonard’s later monographs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA strong 1990s artist publication from a moment before Zoe Leonard became a canonical figure. Less a retrospective than a contemporaneous record: photographs, conversation, and exhibition brought together while the work was still unfolding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShipping and handling included in the listed price.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiener Secession","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53771450089810,"sku":"LEONARD-SECESSION-CAT-1997","price":95.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0991\/5636\/1554\/files\/Leonard_Zoe._Secession._1997.jpg?v=1781677603","url":"https:\/\/thenewrare.com\/products\/zoe-leonard-secession-wiener-secession-vienna-1997","provider":"The New Rare","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
