Summary:
Photography after Conceptual Art addresses substantive theoretical, historical and aesthetic issues raised by post-1960s photography as a mainstream artistic medium. Contributions trace photographic art's remarkable transformation form the 'non-aesthetic' uses of the medium associated with various conceptual and post-conceptual practices of the 1960s and 1970s to the large scale pictorial color images that have dominated the medium since the 1990s.--[book cover]
