Garry Winogrand: Winogrand Color brings together 150 photographs drawn from the archives of the Center for Creative Photography in Tucson, presenting a side of Winogrand’s practice that has long stood apart from his better-known black-and-white street work. Made from the early 1950s through the late 1960s, these images belong to a substantial body of more than 45,000 color slides. The book is published by Twin Palms Publishers and identifies Garry Winogrand as its photographer, with Michael Almereyda and Susan Kismaric credited as contributors.

Winogrand’s color practice was not a minor parallel to his monochrome work. He often carried two cameras, one loaded with color film and the other with black-and-white, using the demands of commercial assignments as an occasion to observe and develop a more personal way of working. The resulting photographs move between Manhattan streets, the shadowed underside of Coney Island’s boardwalk, and the broad landscapes and roads of the American West. Their subjects are ordinary, but the attention is exacting: strangers, passing encounters, and incidental arrangements acquire an intimate, sometimes lyrical force.

The importance of this volume lies in the sustained view it offers of Winogrand’s engagement with color. Rather than treating color as a supplement to a canonical reputation, it allows the photographs to be considered as an expansive and progressively daring body of work in their own right. For collectors, the book provides a focused record of an essential but less familiar dimension of a major postwar American photographer’s archive, while its selection gives shape to material that might otherwise remain dispersed across a vast slide collection.

Issued in English as a 176-page hardcover, the book measures approximately 30.5 by 30.7 centimetres. Its substantial square format suits photographs whose strength often lies in the simultaneous pressure of people, atmosphere, and place. As a dedicated monograph of Winogrand’s color photography, it deserves attention not simply as an alternative view of a canonical artist, but as a considered opportunity to reassess the range of his eye.
