books on photo books

For several years, the photo book is discovered as an artistic genre. Parallel to auctions, exhibitions and publications for over 30 years has developed an unobtrusive market.

The Photobook: A History volume
me 1
The first volume is a comprehensive book on the history of the photobook, with more than 200 picture books from the 19th Century to the Japanese work of the 60s and 70s, which I like personally very well. This book of photo books created through the collaboration of Martin Parr and Gerry Badger. Martin Paar said of himself that he is an avid photo book collector. Well-known publications such as Walker Evans
"American Photographs" (1938) are known in addition to fewer, but major works such as Kikuji Kawada " The Map" (1965) is presented. This book thus offers a new approach with respect to the known history of photography. In his introduction makes Badger, that the photo book is one of the most significant photographic genres due to the possibilities of its spreading and availability. Also, the photo book challenges the traditional notion that the history of photography is represented by the original print.

Kikuji Kawada Chizu (The Map) was originally to be published in 1965, 20 years after the atomic attack on Hiroshima. Until 40 years later, the work by Nazraeli Press was published in 2005, this work is rightly considered one of the most important books of photography ever produced. Parr and Badger designated it as a masterful blend of abstraction and realism.
