Description
The Photograph as Contemporary Art by Charlotte Cotton explores the evolution of photography as a contemporary art form. Since its invention nearly two centuries ago, photographic technology has gained widespread acceptance in the art world, now regarded alongside painting and sculpture. This revised edition showcases an extensive range of photographers, including Andreas Gursky, Barbara Kasten, Catherine Opie, Cindy Sherman, Deana Lawson, Diana Markosian, Elle Pérez, Gregory Halpern, Lieko Shiga, Nan Goldin, Paul Mpagi Sepuya, Pixy Liao, Susan Meiselas, and Zanele Muholi. The book presents a broad and diverse reflection of the field, highlighting both established artists and those shaping photography in response to our current sociopolitical climate. A valuable resource for anyone interested in contemporary art photography, this updated edition revitalizes previous discussion with new insights into recent practice.
