"In the twenty-first century, photography has come of age as an art form. The Photograph as Contemporary Art introduces the extraordinary, ever-widening scope of contemporary art photography, from portraits of intimate life to highly staged, 'directional' spectacle; 'cameraless' photography to intersections with installation and sculpture. Arranged thematically, the book reproduces work from a vast span of photographers including Andreas Gursky, Susan Meiselas, Nan Goldin, Elle Perez, Lieko Shiga and Zanele Muholi. Now fully revised and updated, this fourth edition revitalizes previous discussion of key works from the 2000s through dialogue with more recent practice. Adding to the wide selection of work featured, esteemed writer and curator Charlotte Cotton celebrates a new generation of artists who are shaping photography as a culturally significant medium for our current sociopolitical climate."
