PORTFOLIO CONDITION: New/Mint the set.<br /> <br /> Bastard Countryside collects together 15 years worth of exploration within the British landscape dwelling on what Victor Hugo called the 'bastard countryside': "somewhat ugly but bizarre made up of two different natures". Friend's large-format colour images scrutinise these in-between unkempt and often surreal marginal areas of the country highlighting frictions between the pastoral sublime and the discarded often polluted reality of the present. Starting from a classical landscape tradition Friend's meticulous 5x4 photographs are given heightened effect through exaggerations of colour and composition embodying friction between British pastoral ideals and present reality. In particular Friend follows moments in which the expected narrative of the landscape is rudely interrupted: often through leakage pollution or the wreckage and containment of nature. In his accompanying essay writer Robert Macfarlane describes Bastard Countryside as "a vision par excellence of our synthetic 'modern nature'- produced by assemblage and entanglement rather than purity and distinction". Contained within Friend's photographs are "hard questions . about what kinds of landscape one might wish either to pass through or to live in; about what versions of 'modern nature' might be worth fighting for and why." Robin Friend b.1983 is a London-based photographer who grew up in Melbourne Australia. He divides his time between his fine art practice and commissioned work. Recent projects include the award-winning books Sanctuary: Britain's Artists and their Studios and Art Studio America Thames & Hudson 2011-13; a collaborative choreographic work for the BBC Winged Bull in the Elephant Case 2017 with Wayne McGregor; and a National Gallery exhibition project documenting the gallery's wartime art storage in a Snowdonian mine 2018.

20131881Minneapolis: Milkweed Editions 2013. First edition. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. A scarce signed copy of the first printing here inscribed to no recipient on the half-title page: "In honor of our oldest teachers the plants Robin Wall Kimmerer." As detailed in articles about the sensation that this book has become Braiding Sweetgrass had a first printing of only 8000 copies most of which were probably bought by libraries; no major newspaper reviewed it. In 2020 five years after the paperback was first released Braiding Sweetgrass made the New York Times bestseller list for paperback nonfiction and it hasn’t left—this week Feb 22 2026 is its 303rd week on the list currently #12. As of 2024 it had sold more than 2 million copies. A word-of-mouth phenomenon. We've been watching for about five years and this is the first signed hardcover copy we've found. So far as we can tell there aren't even any other hardcover copies on the market. Priced accordingly. Very good with faint foxing to the outer edge of the text block and perhaps a dozen dogeared pages. In a very good minus jacket with light foxing to some margins. A book of our times and scarce more so signed. Milkweed Editions hardcover
