About Recto/Verso

This book is the latest attempt to grasp the magnitude of the monumental archive of photograms that Robert Heinecken created during the past 40 years. He offers a look back at the 1980s. Where decadence and narcissism inhabit the same space as spirituality and family values. Though the patinas of these color photograms speak of that generation, their revelations are contemporary in their incisiveness. So, by looking at the history of the photograms. Beginning with Henry Fox Talbot’s ‘photogenic drawings’ and Man Ray’s ‘Rayographs’. Heinecken must be viewed as the most rebellious practitioner. Unflinching, enigmatic and also alert. Heinecken has had exhibitions in the United States, Europe as well as Asia. His work is also included in many major collections, including the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; LA County Museum of Art; and the Center for Creative Photography, Tucson. Recto/Verso is printed in a first edition of 1,000 casebound copies. Also with an introduction by Rod Slemmons, Director of the Museum of Contemporary Photography, Chicago.
