The New Photography

$69.90
Minus Plus

Published by Te Papa Press

In this handsome book, leading photography curator Athol McCredie tells the story of the beginnings of contemporary photography – also known as art photography-in New Zealand. Through interviews with the photographers Gary Baigent, Richard Collins, John Daley, John Fields, Max Oettli, John B Turner, Len Wesney and Ans Westra, and accompanied by an outstanding introductory essay, McCredie shows how the break-through approach of personal documentary photography created a new field of photography in New Zealand that was not simply illustrative but rather spoke for itself and with its own language.

The book accompanies the exhibition The New Photography – Life in the 60s and 70s. The exhibition will open at Te Papa on June 15 and run until October 13.
