Sally Mann: At Twelve, Portraits of Young Women
Sally Mann: At Twelve, Portraits of Young Women
First published by Aperture in 1988, At Twelve: Portraits of Young Women is a groundbreaking classic by one of photography's most renowned artists.
At Twelve is Sally Mann's illuminating, collective portrait of twelve-year-old girls, taken in the artist's native Rockbridge County, Virginia. The age of twelve brings tremendous excitement and social possibilities; it is a trying time as well, caught between childhood and adulthood, when the difference is not entirely understood. As Ann Beattie writes in her perceptive introduction maintained from the 1988 original publication, "These girls still exist in an innocent world in which a pose is only a pose--what adults make of that pose may be the issue." The consequences of this misunderstanding can be real: destitution, abuse, unwanted pregnancy. Within this book of portraits, many of which are accompanied by writings of the artist, the young women in Mann's unflinching large-format photographs, however, are not victims. They return the viewer's gaze with a disturbing equanimity.
This reissue of At Twelve has been printed using new scans and separations from Mann's prints, which were taken with an 8-by-10-inch view camera, rendering them with a quality true to the original edition.Binding Type: Hardcover
