From the publisher: "The high-quality reproductions of Polke's photo-based works from the mid-sixties to the mid-nineties complemented by two essays providing a groundbreaking rigorous critical analysis of Polke's use of photography. Paul Schimmel, chief curator of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, situates Polke's photographs in the context of the rest of his oeuvre, while Maria Morris Hambourg, curator for photography at the Metropolitan Museum in New York, discusses their relation to traditional photographic practice. It belongs on the bookshelf of anyone interested in the ever shifting boundaries of the fine arts and photography.". Bookseller Inventory # 100168
