Description: Photobook World : Artists' Books and Forgotten Social Objects, Hardcover by Edwards, Paul Ernest Michael (EDT), ISBN 1526167573, ISBN-13 9781526167576, Brand New, Free shipping in the US This volume sets out to challenge and ultimately broaden the category of the 'photobook’. It critiques the popular art-market definition of the photobook as simply a photographer’s book, proposing instead to show how books and photos come together as collective cultural productions. Focusing on North American, British and French photobooks from 1920 to the present, the chapters revisit canonical works – by Claudia Andujar and George Love, Mohamed Bourouissa, Walker Evans, Susan Meiselas and Roland Penrose – while also delving into institutional, and unrealised projects, illegal practices, DIY communities and the poetic impulse. They throw new light on the way that gendered, racial or colonial assumptions are resisted. Taken as a whole, the volume provides a better understanding of how the meaning of a photobook is collectively produced both inside and outside the art market.
