Photographer Lee Friedlander’s America by Car is an artist’s version of typical road-trip mementos: images from the highway. Instead of sticking the camera out from his rental car to capture a view, however, Friedlander uses the windshield, door windows, and rear-view mirrors to frame roadside Americana and urban environments, including Las Vegas. Taken over the past decade, Friedlander’s images reflect the artist’s ongoing exploration of the tension between photography as “art” and as snapshots. $49.95; D.A.P./Fraenkel
