GOLD TREES

We are thrilled to announce the long awaited publication release of GOLD TREES by legendary photographer, Joyce Tenneson. Although Tenneson has published numerous books of her work, Gold Trees is her first fine press edition.

The publication of this edition marks fifty years since her trailblazing exhibition at the Corcoran Gallery in Washington, DC, returning full circle to the immutable power and spirituality of trees. Tenneson has bathed this series in gold, harkening back to sacred icons and alchemy. The letterpress ink color is gold as are elements of the binding. The book is quite literally luminous in subject and design in celebration of her Golden Jubilee. She employs her signature ability to peel back the surface veneer of her subjects, in this case trees, rendering them mythic yet intimately touching.The images are monumental yet humble and vulnerable. Tenneson has also written the introduction.

Poet, writer and scholar, Claire Millikin, responded directly to the images with elegant poems as well as an afterward, speaking to Joyce’s storied place in the history of 21st century photography.

There are 25 copies available for sale, each containing 16 mounted images and an additional photo printed on aluminum and housed in the clamshell box.

The design and layout are conceived by Anneli Skaar.
