About this Item

Paperback. Artistic photography of the last 100 yearsSeeing is essential in the encounter with photography: showing, looking at and being looked at determine the experience of every photographic work. In a large-scale joint exhibition, the Ann and Juergen Wilde Foundation and the Photography and Time-based Media Collection of the Bayerische Staatsgemaeldesammlungen in Munich are presenting for the first time an overview of their outstanding holdings of artistic photography from the beginning of the 20th century to the present day. Based on New Objectivity and conceptual-documentary positions, themes such as portrait, the world of objects, detail, landscape and environment, body and identity, street and society are examined in dialogical encounters. They make it possible to experience the medium as an art form that decisively shapes our perception and current discourses.The accompanying catalog provides an overview of the holdings and the history of the two collections. It also serves as a handbook on modern and contemporary photography at the Bayerische Staatsgemaeldesammlungen. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
