From photography’s earliest days, the thrill and immediacy of the
new medium were defined at the first public exhibitions. Half art,
half science, photography captured the attention of everyone from
eager technophiles to curious painters: the art of representation
was about to change. This is the first book to study the history of
photography via international exhibitions. The foremost historians
of the medium describe the most important shows and set them in the
context of their times, from London’s Great Exhibition of 1851 to
today. Edited by Alessandra Mauro, with contributions by and
interviews with a host of international photography experts, this
will be required reading for anyone with a serious interest in
photography and curating, and provides the most informative and
wide- ranging survey available of the era’s defining medium.
