Between 1973 and '76, Mitch Epstein photographed in American cities-New York, Los Angeles and New Orleans, among others. In 1973 he was initially shooting in black-and-white as a student of Garry Winogrand when he asked his teacher, "Why not color?" With Winogrand's blessing, Epstein shot his first rolls of Kodachrome. Silver + Chrome is a chronicle of his three years alternating between color and black-and-white, before eventually committing ...

Between the 1970s and '90s, Mitch Epstein photographed the rituals of excess and alienation, jubilance and desire that defined late twentieth-century America. These pictures marked the beginning of his photographic inquiry into the American psyche and landscape that has now lasted half a century. Recreation captures the vitality of modern America in a pre-smartphone, less self-conscious time. In these early works, Epstein's wit reigns, along w...

Although he started working in an era defined by the Vietnam War, civil rights, rock and roll, and free love, he responded hardily to each radically different era that followed-from Reaganomics to surveillance after 9/11, ...

Mitch Epstein's evocative pictures reveal a complex Vietnam that few Americans have ever seen.This is not a document about the war, nor is it the pastoral idyll other photographers have portrayed. Vietnam, through Epstein's eyes, is a sometimes disturbing and sometimes sublime palimpsest. Vietnam: A Book of Changes interprets a culture and landscape largely cut off from the West for the last thirty years, and now open to a market economy and ...

Mitch Epstein wurde 2008 mit dem »Berlin Prize in Arts and Letters« ausgezeichnet und von der American Academy für ein halbes Jahr nach Berlin eingeladen. Er folgte diesem Ruf und freute sich darauf, in den ehrwürdigen Hallen der Akademie zu lesen und nachzudenken. Doch daraus wurde nichts: Schon bald trieb es den Fotografen auf die Straßen Berlins, und die Stadt nahm ihn gefangen. Mitch Epstein stammt aus einer jüdisch-amerikanischen Familie....
