This book challenges the status quo of the materiality of exhibited
photographs, by considering examples from the early to
mid-twentieth century, when photography's place in the museum was
not only continually questioned but also continually redefined. By
taking this historical approach, Laurie Taylor demonstrates the
ways in which materiality (as opposed to image) was used to
privilege the exhibited photograph as either an artwork or as
non-art information. Consequently, the exhibited photograph is
revealed, like its vernacular cousins, to be a social object whose
material form, far from being supplemental, is instead integral and
essential to the generation of meaning. The book will be of
interest to scholars working in art history, history of
photography, theory of photography, curatorial studies and museum
studies.
