August Sander at the Fondation Cartier-Bresson

[r.e.]

Has anyone seen the current show of Sander's work, or the catalogue for it?

I want to order a book of his work, and I'm unsure whether to order the one produced in conjunction with the Paris exhibit:

http://www.amazon.com/August-Sander-Observing-Thinking-Masterprints/dp/3829604432/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1257119658&sr=8-3

or the multi-volume set of his work published a few years ago:

http://www.amazon.com/August-Sander-People-20th-Century/dp/0810963981/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1257119658&sr=8-1

Suggestions from people who have seen one or both books, or the current exhibit, greatly appreciated.

The 7 volume set is a joy to look through, and the price listed is pretty good. i think I paid 150 or more. It includes some previously unpublished images as well. I'm sure the HCB Foundation voume will be nice, too (I haven't seen it), but Lange's 7-volume set is the most comprehensive, I think.

Thanks Claudio,

On the strength of that shining endorsement, I've just ordered the 7 volume set.

Yeah, I've got the 7-volume set, too. Nice books in a flimsy cardboard slipcase.
