"A continuation of volumes one and two listing general areas of interest in photography and, in volume three, individual photographers born after 1950 (the other volumes end in 1936). Since the reference is dealing with contemporary photography, video and CD-ROM photographic innovations and topics are also included. Contains over 5,092 entries; each subject is listed alphabetically and in chronological order with references to translations (in the case of non-English books and articles), new editions, and illustrations. In some cases a very short commentary is also offered, although the bibliography is not annotated. The index comprehensively includes the 17,000 names cited in all three volumes."--Review from Booknews.

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 what, 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, criti-cal 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. Their essays consider iconic photographs, archival collections, new and forgotten technologies, and conceptual challenges in photographing three-dimensional forms that have directed changing historical and stylistic attitudes about how we see, write about, and narrate histories of sculpture. Chapters on such varied topics as picturing Conceptual art, manipulating sacred images in India to be non-photographs, and framing Roman art with an iPad illustrate the latent visual and narrative powers and ever-expanding potential of these images of sculpture.
