Ever since the mid-nineteenth century, when the new medium of
photography was pressed into service to illustrate sculpture,
photographs of sculptural objects have directed viewers as to just
when, in the course of ambling around a sculpture, was the single
perfect moment to stop and look. What is the photograph's place in
writing the history of sculpture? How has it changed according to
culture, generation, critical conviction, and changes in media?
Photography and Sculpture: The Art Object in Reproduction studies
aspects of these questions from the perspectives of sixteen leading
art historians. Chapters on such varied topics as picturing
Conceptual art, manipulating sacred images in India to be
nonphotographs, and framing Roman art with an iPad illustrate the
latent visual and narrative powers and ever-expanding potential of
these images of sculpture.
