When Steidl changed its US distributor in 2015, all books in stock were initially shipped back to us in Göttingen. Among the many pallets was hidden a lost treasure: 147 immaculate copies of Lewis Baltz's WORKS, ten of Baltz's seminal photobooks housed in a slipcase, originally published in 2010 and believed to be sold out.
During one of Baltz's last meetings with Gerhard Steidl before his passing in 2014, Baltz decided that the definitive edition of his work in book form should comprise WORKS, along with Candlestick Point (2011) and Texts (2013). Now, due to a twist of fate, we are able to realize this wish for a lucky few. LAST EDITION contains these three publications as well as a new booklet featuring Baltz's last, candid interview. It contains a certificate of authenticity signed and numbered by the artist (hidden in the volume "Continuous Fire Polar Circle"), and is the ultimate publication of Baltz's oeuvre.
Born in 1945 in Newport Beach, California, Lewis Baltz studied at the San Francisco Art Institute and Claremont Graduate School. Baltz came to prominence with the New Topographics movement of the 1970s, and his awards include a Guggenheim fellowship and the Charles Pratt Memorial Award. Baltz's work is held in most major museum collections. His books with Steidl include 89-91, Sites of Technology (2007), WORKS (2010), The Prototype Works (2011) and Candlestick Point (2011). Baltz died on November 22, 2014 at the age of 69.
