Photography, Curation, Criticism - An Anthology (Hardcover)

Liz Wells is a leading figure in the field and this collection brings together otherwise difficult to find works for the first time. There is a great depth and range of essays in this collection, both in terms of geographical coverage and artistic styles, and addressing the work of well-known and lesser-known artists. These essays draw on the key focal points of the author’s scholarly expertise. The collection opens with a conversation with Martha Langford, providing an excellent introduction to Wells’ thought and reflection and contextualization about each of the themes and the pieces and their contemporary relevance. Section introductions by Wells provide further context and tie older essays to current concerns in the field.
