The Centre Pompidou in Paris houses the largest collection of Modern art in Europe and one of the greatest collections of twentieth-century photography in the world. This comprehensive catalogue of the photo collection features 350 images, reproduced in tritone and duotone, by nearly 300 of the most famous artists and photographers to engage with the medium--from Franti ek Drtikol, Paul Strand, Walker Evans, Constantin Brancusi, Alexander Rodchenko and Berenice Abbott, via Manuel Álvarez Bravo, Man Ray and Edouard Boubat, to Robert Mapplethorpe, Cindy Sherman, Thomas Struth, Andreas Gursky, Nan Goldin, Vik Muniz, Gregory Crewdson and Thomas Demand. It is divided into six sections, each of which is prefaced by a brief essay.

Martin Parr was born in Epsom in 1952. When he was a boy, his budding interest in the medium of photography was encouraged by his grandfather. Martin studied photography at Manchester Polytechnic, from 1970 to 1973 and since that time he has worked on numerous photographic projects. This book explores his work.

Das Museum of Modern Art in New York besitzt eine der weltweit größten Sammlungen zur Photographie des 20. Jahrhunderts. Um diese reichen Bestände der Öffentlichkeit zugänglich zu machen, sind drei Bände geplant. Band III, in dem die Jahre 1960 bis heute behandelt werden, erscheint als erster – das MoMA zäumt seine Geschichte der Photographie des 20. Jahrhunderts also von hinten auf. Der vorgezogene Blick auf die letzten gut fünf Jahrzehnte hat insofern brisante Priorität, als sich die technischen und künstlerischen Bedingungen des Mediums in diesem Zeitraum dramatisch verändert haben. Am Beispiel der 350 hier versammelten Bilder von rund 250 international namhaften Photographen aller Gattungen wird die Suche nach neuen Ausdrucksmöglichkeiten ebenso deutlich wie das Ringen um Definitionen dessen, was Photographie im Zeitalter der digitalen Bildproduktion (noch) sein kann. Mitherausgeber Quentin Bajac, Chefkurator für Photographie am MoMA, legt mit diesem Band gleichzeitig eine historische Rekapitulation, eine kritische yse und ein in Umfang und Qualität beeindruckendes Bildlexikon der Gegenwartsphotographie vor.
