How we grade the condition of our books:

New: New directly from publisher or artist.

As New: The book is in pristine, original condition as when published. This grade may apply to older books that have been carefully stored, never shelved, thumbed, or opened.

Fine: A Fine book is nearly As New in condition but without being crisp. The book may have been opened and read, but shows no defects to the book, jacket, or pages.

Near Fine: A book approaching Fine (or As New) but with a couple of very minor defects or faults, which must be noted by the seller

Very Good: A book showing small signs of wear but no tears on either binding or paper. The book maintains its structural integrity, and any defects must be noted by the seller.

Good: Describes a book with average wear while maintaining complete text pages. The book is intact and readable, but shows signs of use. Any defects must be noted by the seller.

Fair:
A worn book that has complete text pages (including those with maps or plates) but may lack endpapers, half-title, etc. (which must be noted).The binding and jacket (if any) may show significant wear. All defects should be noted.
Photographs from several different series that explore the imaginary of the 1970s.

Rachel Fleminger Hudson brings together photographs from several different series that explore the imaginary of the 1970s. Some images simulate candid photographs from that period, including photographs of young soccer fans. Others take the form of theatrical mises-en-scène in which her models perform. Although mischievous and playful, the photographs are rigorously constructed and are based on her extensive theoretical and visual research. Observing fashion, and in particular its ability to depict the sociocultural conditions and to express individuality, the artist examines questions of identity, society and history through the prism of the culture of clothing.

Fleminger Hudson is particularly fond of the 1970s thanks to their transitional character. This period was marked by a change in values and lifestyles: modern society and its cult of authenticity gave way to a postmodernism based on reproduction and simulacra. Taking nostalgia as the main focus of her work, the artist challenges our relationship to the past through meta-representations that pit the authentic against the fictional.

Born in 1997 in London, Rachel Fleminger Hudson is a graduate of Central Saint Martin (2022) and Camberwell College of Arts (2017). Winner of the Dior Prize in 2022, she has been exhibited at LUMA Arles.
