Polaroid founder Edwin Land regarded his invention as more than a
technical accomplishment or a convenient medium for both
professional photographers and consumers - he saw Polaroid as a
means of artistic expression. At Land's behest, and starting from a
collaboration with Ansel Adams in 1949, Polaroid built an artists'
liaison programme in which artists and photographers would donate
prints in return for materials and access to cutting-edge Polaroid
technology - including the legendary 24 x 20 inch Polaroid camera.
Over the next five decades, the Polaroid collections in both the
United States and Europe became world-renowned for the stellar list
of names whose work it contained. Following Polaroid's second
bankruptcy in 2008, the collections were fragmented - the US and
European collections were split and key works were sold at auction.
A comprehensive view of the collection was no longer possible -
until now. With an associated, internationally touring exhibition
opening in June 2017, The Polaroid Project is the only book to
bring together both the outstanding photography created by the
artists and photographers Polaroid worked with, alongside the
technical objects and artifacts from the MIT Museum archive.
Curated by William A. Ewing and Barbara Hitchcock, and with texts
from other leading critics, curators and writers that discuss the
Polaroid phenomenon in terms of artistic output and lasting legacy
on design, technology, society and business, this book is the
definitive publication for the many who have a deep love of
Polaroid.
