Printed Matter is delighted to announce a very limited complete set of Todd Hido Printed Matter fundraising editions. The first edition (#2479-a) of this unique set of Risograph prints sold out in less than thirty-six hours and is now exclusively available in this special suite of all three.
The three images demonstrate the unique ability of the Risograph process to expand upon the subtleties of shadow and light in Hido’s images, employing bespoke sets of color drums in printing.
Todd Hido (born in Kent, Ohio, 1968) is an inveterate book collector, who regularly draws on this carefully cultivated library of artists’ and photobooks for inspiration. He notes that “As a photographer who generally makes books that are more trade publications, I find it really amazing to come into a world like Printed Matter: full of art with a capital A, artists’ books. I find that the variations and the explorations in books such as these, are really exciting and inspiring. I often hope to walk out of the shop, or one of the fairs, with lots of ideas in my head for my own work and my own future explorations.”
Through his unique process of photographing landscapes and signature color palette, Hido alludes to the quiet and mysterious side of suburban America—where uniform communities provide for a stable façade—implying the instability that often lies behind the walls. His photographs are in over 50 private and public collections around the world, including the Getty, Whitney Museum of American Art, and San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Pier 24 Photography holds the archive of all of his published works. Hido has published more than a dozen books, including the award-winning monographs House Hunting (2001) and Excerpts from Silver Meadows (2013). His Aperture titles include Todd Hido on Landscapes, Interiors, and the Nude (2014) and Intimate Distance: Twenty-Five Years of Photographs (2016).
