"An eye-opening expedition through the history of the medium, with wide-ranging photographs by artists as diverse as Diane Arbus, Christian Marclay, Robert Adams, Bernd & Hilla Becher, Mel Bochner, Walker Evans, Sol LeWitt, Lee Friedlander, Alec Soth, Katy Grannan, Hiroshi Sugimoto, and Richard Learoyd. Includes a trove of images by unknown photographers, virtually none of which have been reproduced before. A meditation on the inexplicable essence of the medium and an essential new publication for anyone who cares seriously about art and photography" (Publisher's blurb). An absolute "must-have" title for photography book collectors. This title is a contemporary photography classic. This is one of few copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a pristine beauty. It is the single most beautiful copy we have ever seen. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws yet command as much as $200. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce copy thus. 90 tritone and color plates. Some of the greatest photographers in its history. A fine copy.
