Harry Callahan & The Institute of Design
February 9, 2010
I have reserved every book on Harry Callahan available from the Chicago Public Library. Lately I’ve really been into the Institute of Design photographers, i.e. Callahan, Siskind, Siegel. There is one book (an incredible piece of work) that the CPL doesn’t have for some reason. That book is, Aaron Siskind and Louis Sullivan: The Institute of Design Photo Section Project by Jeffrey Plank. I have ordered it through Powell’s bookstore here in Chicago (not to be mistaken with Powell’s of Portland). I am planning on running around town photographing what remains of Louis Sullivan’s work, in order to provide a 21st century survey — and to see all of his glorious buildings in person. I will provide images as they are created.
