"The history of color photography goes back over one hundred years, but the medium only came of age as an art form in the late 1960s, when it was called ""the new frontiers""."

*Photography and the Art Market* charts the transition of photographs created for aesthetic ends from a hobbyist pastime to a core component of the international fine art scene. This essential handbook explores the structural elements that supported this shift (including dedicated galleries, museum and private collections, festivals, fairs and academic scholarship) and appraises the state of the market for photography today. It is a must-read for all involved in the photography world, including curators, students, dealers and private and institutional buyers.

"Examining the themes of presence and absence, the relationship between photography and theatre, history and death, these 'reflections on photography' begin as an investigation into the nature of photographs.
