DESCRIPTION:
The photographs depict our emerging dependence on the media as well as how the media changes and sometimes even creates the event itself. What Winogrand has given us in these photographs is a unilateral report of how we behaved under pressure during a time of costumes and causes, and of how extravagantly, outrageously and continuously we displayed what we wanted. First published to accompany a 1977 exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, New York.. --Tod PapageorgePublic Relations is a distillation of a photographic project begun by Garry Winogrand in 1969 when he was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship to photograph what he called "the effect of media on events." With his characteristic zeal, passion, spontaneity and intensity, Winogrand photographed an array of public events including museum openings, press conferences, sports games, demonstrations, award ceremonies, a birthday party and a moon shot
Winogrand the stalker may anger his subject: What we see is sometimes what he partly caused. (Joseph McElroy Artforum International 2013-07-01) . No shot is about just one thing

GW's least is better than others' best Jeffrey L. Evans Perhaps I am biased, being a hard core Winogrand fan, but I wish to respectfully disagree with the prior reviewer. True, there are better Winogrand books out there (though some are out of print), but even GW's least effort is better than most others' best. These photos aptly capture moments in political campaigns, art museum fundraisers, protest demonstrations, black tie award dinners, etc. Some are made poignant by subsequent events. Perhaps the stories are best appreciated by baby boomers, NYC glitterati & art . Own this book. I was prompted to write here after reading the above imbecile's one star review of this classic book.This is a perfect example of the dark side of the internet: the unenlighttened leading the uninformed. I worry that some poor reader would avoid this book because of that ignorant scribe. Make no mistake , this book is a classic. Every photo brings a smile and an informed understanding of the unspoken world around us. This along with "Women are beautiful" rank amongst his FINEST work. If you ever see this at a use
