The work consists, first, of a corpus of thirty-three framed photographs and two slide projections of in total over one hundred images, all made by the artist (Ship of Fools); second, it contains a gigantic collection of various objects, graphic images, postcards, and prints which the artist purchased, mostly online (The Dockers' Museum). Sekula dedicated this work to both historical and contemporary labor solidarity in and around the docks. At the time of his sad passing in the Summer of 2013, Allan Sekula was in the midst of collaborating on this publication with all four contributing authors: Gail Day, Steve Edwards, Alberto Toscano, and Hilde Van Gelder, each of whom he had asked to write essays. This volume, which includes a representative ensemble of images and objects that are part of Ship of Fools / The Dockers' Museum, follows as closely as possible the instructions given by the artist and is the first substantial scholarly analysis of this impressive project. It contains a preface by JuÌrgen Bock and Bart De Baere, who both curated exhibited installations of the work during the artist's lifetime. The volume also includes draft text materials written by the artist himself, as well as selections from the multitude of unpublished interviews, public debates, and lectures that Allan Sekula delivered between 2010 and 2012. Finally, this publication includes a moving essay on the project by the artist's widow, Sally Stein. 600 10 $a Sekula, Allan. 650 0 $a Photography, Artistic. 650 0 $a Stevedores in art. 700 12 $a Sekula, Allan. $t Works. $k Selections. 700 1 $a Gelder, Hilde van, $e editor. 830 0 $a Lieven Gevaert series ; $v v. 19. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213014346.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=591BC0043A6E11E5A08F40DADAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
