Overview

Expanded from an earlier catalogue of the same title, Still Time originally accompanied a traveling exhibition featuring more than 20 years of Sally Mann's photography. Now available in paperback, this volume celebrates an artist whose acute perceptions and imagination embrace not only the photographs of children for which she is renowned, but also earlier landscapes and some unexpected, compelling forays into color and abstract photography. The 60 images include abstract platinum prints, Cibachromes and Polaroids, landscapes, portraits of women and 12-year-olds and her celebrated family pictures.
Sally Mann was born in 1951 in Lexington, Virginia, where she continues to live and work. Among her many awards are three National Endowment for the Arts fellowships and a Guggenheim fellowship. Her photographs are in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Smithsonian American Art Museum and The Corcoran Museum of Art, to name just a few. Her books of photographs include Immediate Family and At Twelve: Portraits of Young Women.

Compiled to accompany her traveling exhibition of the same name, this collection by one of the strongest forces in contemporary photography revels, finesses, and sometimes even transforms our sense of time and place into something magical and sensual through her acute perception of our preconceptions. 60 color and duotone photographs.
