Description

Photography After Frank explores the evolution of contemporary photography from the 1950s onwards. Philip Gefter examines the pivotal moment when Robert Frank's seminal works, including The Americans, challenged photographic objectivity.

The book delves into various aspects of photography, including photojournalism, diverse portraiture styles, and the influence of private and corporate collections on curatorial decisions. Gefter also discusses how the market shapes art-making, highlighting the legacy of Frank's work in the careers of numerous important individual artists.

Featuring texts written exclusively for this publication, as well as essays drawn from Gefter's critical writings, reviews, and obituaries, Photography After Frank offers a comprehensive approach to understanding the subject. This book will appeal to students and art world aficionados alike.
