Omaha Sketchbook (Second Edition)

by Gregory Halpern

Photographs: Gregory Halpern

Publisher: Mack Books

144 pages

Year: April 2025

ISBN: 978-1-917651-03-5

Price: 71.50 €

Comments: Paperback with linen spine, 29 x 23 cm

In this new edition of Omaha Sketchbook, Gregory Halpern returns to his lyrical yet equivocal account of the American heartland. Compiled over fifteen years of photographing Omaha, Nebraska, the book forms a prescient meditation on America, the men and boys who inhabit it, and the mechanics of aggression, inadequacy, and power. In loosely collaged spreads that reproduce his construction-paper sketchbooks, Halpern takes pleasure in dissonance and unexpected harmony, playing on a sense of simultaneous repulsion and attraction to the place. Halpern has significantly altered the first iteration of the book with a new cover and thirty-five previously unseen photographs, breathing life into his original notion that this project is a working sketchbook he will return to and revise periodically.
