Description
Photography After Conceptual Art explores the development of photography as a mainstream artistic medium since the 1960s. This collection of essays examines key theoretical, historical, and aesthetic issues in post-1960s photography. The book considers the role of photography in contemporary art, tracing its emergence as one of the most important mediums for recent art. It also investigates the relationship between recent art, theory, and aesthetics, with photography serving as a crucial test case. The essays feature previously unpublished photographs by prominent artists such as Ed Ruscha, Bernd and Hilla Becher, Douglas Huebler, Mel Bochner, Sherrie Levine, Roni Horn, Thomas Demand, and Jeff Wall. By examining the work of these artists and others, Photography After Conceptual Art provides a nuanced understanding of the medium's significance in contemporary art.
