About the book: 2020 / Photography was invented almost two hundred years ago. Since then, it has evolved from a documentary tool to an artistic medium and now takes its place in art on a par with painting and sculpture. Charlotte Cotton (b. 1970) in her book reveals the most important features of modern art photography through examples of the work of almost two hundred and fifty photographers, including recognized masters - Isa Genzken, Jeff Wall, Sophie Calle, and artists who have made their mark relatively recently - Walid Beshti, Jason Evans, Lucas Blalock and others.
