A volume of previously unpublished early work by the American artist Laurie Simmons: black-and-white photographs of fifties-style interiors furnished in true detail with dolls and doll's furniture, miniature objects, postcards, books, pamphlets and magazines. Made between 1976 and 1978, the pictures place Simmons alongside contemporaries such as Cindy Sherman as a pioneer of the expressive possibilities of photography, staging domestic scenes with small figures.

ABOUT

The project

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.

Images and rights

Covers, interior pages and descriptions are shown to introduce and identify the books, always crediting publisher, author and photographer and linking back to the publisher. We ask publishers for their permission, and we remove anything on request within 7 days. If you are a publisher, an author or a photographer and you want something changed or removed, write to info@spineindex.it.
