Summary
The Lambert Collection is one of the greatest collections of contemporary photographs in the world, made during a time in which photographic art has undergone fundamental changes in both its intentions and perceptions. This collection of essays by the foremost writers on international contemporary art accompanies full-page reproductions of 130 photographs from the collection, placing them in the context of contemporary art practice, and singling out particular artists and images for their own personal analysis. This book fills a real gap in photography publishing and critically examines the photographic creation of the recent decades.
