Los Angeles is a city of dualities - sunshine and noir, coastline
beaches and urban grit, natural beauty and suburban sprawl, the
obvious and the hidden. Both Sides of Sunset: Photographing Los
Angeles reveals these dualities and more, in images captured by
master photographers such as Bruce Davidson, Lee Friedlander, Daido
Moriyama, Julius Shulman and Garry Winogrand, as well as many
younger artists, among them Matthew Brandt, Katy Grannan, Alex
Israel, Lise Sarfati and Ed Templeton, just to name a few. Taken
together, these individual views by more than 130 artists form a
collective vision of a place where myth and reality are often
indistinguishable. Spinning off the highly acclaimed Looking at Los
Angeles (Metropolis Books, 2005), Both Sides of Sunset presents an
updated and equally unromantic vision of this beloved and scorned
metropolis. In the years since the first book was published, the
artistic landscape of Los Angeles has flourished and evolved. The
extraordinary Getty Museum project Pacific Standard Time: Art in
L.A. 1945-1980 focused global attention on the city's artistic
heritage, and this interest has only continued to grow. Both Sides
of Sunset showcases many of the artists featured in the original
book - such as Lewis Baltz, Catherine Opie, Stephen Shore and James
Welling - but also incorporates new images that portray a city that
is at once unhinged and driven by irrepressible exuberance.
