Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Quarto. Hardcover. Grey cloth boards in illustrated jacket. "The Gernsheim Collection is one of the most important collections of photography in the world. Amassed by the renowned husband-and-wife team of Helmut and Alison Gernsheim between 1945 and 1963, it contains an unparalleled range of images, beginning with the world's earliest-known photograph from nature, made by Joseph Nicephore Niepce circa 1826. The Gernsheim Collection includes some 35,000 major and representative photographs from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries; a research library of some 3.600 books, journals, and published articles; about 250 autographed letters and manuscripts; and more than 200 pieces of early photographic equipment. Its encyclopedic scope--as well as the expertise and taste with which the Gernsheims built the collection--makes the Gernsheim Collection one of the world's premier resources for the study and appreciation of the development of photography. Pulished to coincide with a landmark exhibition staged by the Harry Ransom Center at The University of Texas at Austin, which owns the collection, this volume presents masterpieces of the Gernsheim Collection, from photography's beginnings to the mid-twentieth century along with lesser-known images of great historical significance. Each full-page image is accompanied by an extensive annotation in which Roy Flukinger describes the photograph's place in the evolution of photography and also within the Gernsheim Collection. Flukinger also provides an enlightening introduction and text in which he traces the Gernsheims' passionate careers as collectors and pioneering historians of Photography, showing how their untiring efforts significantly contributed to the acceptance of photography as a fine art and as a field worthy of intellectual inquiry. Appreciations of the Gernsheim Collection by Alison Nordstrom and Mark Haworth-Booth confirm its singular importance as a collection of outstanding breadth and depth in the history of photography. "--Book jacket. VG. Slight toning to jacket spine and light rubbing and bumping. Otherwise a nice clean copy.…
