Serious Humor Michael Northrup
$55 (framed)
Serious Humor is a limited-edition monograph showcasing the bold and irreverent work of photographer Michael Northrup. Spanning 20 years (1975–1995), the book features 65 striking images—32 in color, 33 in black and white—many previously unpublished. Northrup’s signature style blends graphic clarity, poetic wit, and a sharp eye for the uncanny and quietly profound. The book closes with a candid conversation between Northrup and publisher Pete Voelker, reflecting on photography, irony, and a lifelong creative journey.
