His celebration of togetherness in an increasingly individualistic digital age feels especially relevant in today's world. The Guardian and BBC Culture have praised Slavin's work, and this expanded fifty-year anniversary edition of \"When Two or More Are Gathered Together\" revisits the question of social unity in the United States. The series, first published in 1974, was recognized as an instant landmark in the emerging field of color photography, alongside photographers such as Stephen Shore and William Eggleston. Regarded as a deadpan stunt but framed as a serious social experiment, the series was appreciated for its surprising insights into American social life. Fifty years later, on the eve of a presidential election, the United States grapples with profound social division and political unrest. This expanded edition includes new subjects, such as dogs, fencers, and chambermaids, photographed as recently as 2023. An essay by art historian Kevin Moore offers historical context for this timely and relevant body of early color photography.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 702g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 175 x 242 x 19 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9788862088299\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: New revised edition\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Neal Slavin,Kevin Moore Edited and with contributions by","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":46675985596666,"sku":"9788862088299","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/files\/1726864263387_book.jpg?v=1726899170","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/neal-slavin-when-two-or-more-are-gathered-together-9788862088299","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
