Jim Goldberg
edition of 300 (signed)
6 x 8 in.
2010
TBW Books is very pleased to announce the publication of a limited edition postcard box set commemorating the 25th anniversary of Jim Goldberg’s landmark book Rich and Poor.
First published in 1985 by Random House, Rich and Poor is a seminal development in the experimental story telling through photography. Goldberg made portraits of individuals from all social classes, after which the subjects wrote their impression of the image on the face of the photographs. The combination of text and image investigates myths about class, power and happiness while revealing an intimate portrayal of the human condition.
The postcard sets will be limited to 300 signed editions that will feature a set of 10 cards, a hand numbered and signed colophon and a double sided foldout poster, with one side rich and one side poor. All materials are offset printed on heavyweight matte paper. The set is finished with a hand crafted and etched plexi cover and wrapped in black butcher paper and sealed with an iconic rich and poor label.
TBW Books will only be releasing 150 sets and we anticipate them to sell out quickly. Pricing will start at $50.00 and increase incrementally as quantities become limited. UPDATE Few copies remain - the current price is $100.00. Sets will begin shipping on December 3, 2010.
UPDATE: No longer available
We would like to thank all of our customers for their continued support and extend a huge congratulations to Jim Goldberg for creating such a powerful and thoughtful book that, 25 years later still resonates with the world. Needless to say we are honored and humbled to bring you this project.
