kith, kin & khaya: South African Photographs

In conjunction with the exhibition at the Jewish Museum, a related 200-page book with 150 black and white plates,Kith, Kin & Khaya: South African Photographs: David Goldblatt, has been published.In its introduction, writer and critic Ingrid Sischy writes, "A highly sophisticated, even strict, sense of aesthetics, combined with a rigorous moral stance about what it means to take somebody's photograph, is what sets Goldblatt's work apart." She also observes that "the glue that holds this broad body of work together is a mix of Goldblatt's highly attuned eye and his razor-sharp mind. His photographs are objects of thought, as much as they're objects to behold."
