Description

The Museum of Modern Art has one of the greatest collections of twentieth-century photography in the world. As one of three volumes dedicated to a new history of photography published by the Museum, this publication comprises a comprehensive catalogue of the collection post-1960s and brings much-needed new critical perspective on the most prominent artists working with the photographic medium of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. At a moment when photography is undergoing fast-paced changes and artists are seeking to redefine its boundaries in new and exciting ways, Photography at MoMA serves as an excellent resource for understanding the expanded field of contemporary photography today. The book is organized with an in-depth introductory chapter and eight chapters of full-colour plates, each introduced by a short essay, and features work by over 250 artists, including Diane Arbus, John Baldessari, Jan Dibbets, Rineke Dijkstra, William Eggleston, Lee Friedlander, Louise Lawler, Zoe Leonard, Helen Levitt, Sigmar Polke, Cindy Sherman, Wolfgang Tillmans, Jeff Wall, Carrie Mae Weems, Hannah Wilke and Garry Winogrand, among many others.

Reviews

A Who's Who of the contemporary masters of the form.-- "American Photo" Handsome and informative . . . highly recommended.-- "Library Journal" In publishing three volumes of photography history from its collection, The Museum of Modern Art in New York has decided to disrupt the traditional narrative.-- "The New York Times" What draws you into the book is the sheer variety of visual surprises, from iconic shots to obscure gems.
