{"product_id":"walter-rudolph-ibiza-1976","title":"Walter Rudolph Ibiza 1976","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eA sun-baked love letter to Ibiza photographed by Munich-born Walter Rudolph (1915 - 1997). A masterful observer, Walter’s career was dedicated to capturing the spontaneity of life as it unfolded, defining the visual language of mass tourism. Employed by airline operators Iberia and TUI, his images were distributed through photo stock agencies, with the objective to promote and sell the promise of the perfect summer holiday. It wasn’t until he arrived on the still-unspoilt island of Ibiza that his photographs revealed both how much and how little has changed five decades on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eSet against the backdrop of the island’s mass tourism boom in the 1960s and 1970s, the book is curated and produced by Agony + Ecstasy founder Emma Salahi, and explores the ever-changing lan\u003cimg\u003edscape of Ibiza. Through candid observations of both locals and tourists, Rudolph captures social scenarios in which the subjects largely remain oblivious to his lens. A time capsule to post-Franco Spain, it is arguably one of the most thriving chapters of Ibiza’s history before the island was drastically reshaped into what we see today.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eOn the cusp of discovery, Rudolphs’ iconography is stylised, visceral and saturated in colour displaying the richness of society as it was. A deep sense of nostalgia runs through his images with comforting pangs of long-lost people and places, reversely landmarks which still exist today.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eForewords by Juan Suárez and Emily Steer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ePublished by Agony + Ecstasy Gallery | 2nd Edition of 500 | Hardback | 24.5 x 26.5cm  | 128 pages\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e*Pre Order the 2nd Edition with estimated late July\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Agony + Ecstasy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53132891062610,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1065\/3460\/1042\/files\/Untitled-1.png?v=1775485246","url":"https:\/\/agonyecstasygallery.com\/products\/walter-rudolph-ibiza-1976","provider":"Agony + Ecstasy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
