It was a privilege to get to speak with Baldwin Lee recently in New York. With his new self-titled monograph published by Barney Kulok’s Hunter’s Point Press, Lee’s work has really been getting a newfound attention that it deserves. The 80 photos in the book, edited from over 10,000 by Kulok, were made over 35 years ago on a series of cross-country trips through the southern US. At one point, Lee felt like he honed in on the subject matter that would become his raison d’etre. He worked tirelessly for the next 4 year, then, he stopped. He decided that he had done what he needed to do, and that was it.
Baldwin and I got together at an Airbnb which he was staying at for some events around the book, and a show of his which was opening at the Howard Greenberg gallery.
