The American Monument by Lee Friedlander is a landmark study of national memory and the American social landscape. Originally published in 1976 and reissued in this 2017 edition by Eakins Press, the project documents hundreds of public memorials across the United States. Rather than heroizing these statues and plaques, Friedlander captures them embedded in the chaotic, everyday environments of modern America, competing with traffic signs, commercial sprawl, and overgrown foliage. Presented in an oversized album format, this volume utilizes Friedlander's signature layered geometry to explore how history physically occupies public space.
Note: The Bushwick Sur Seine collection also holds a vintage gelatin silver print of the image featured as Plate 37 in this book.
