About the Item

Departures Photography 1923-1990. New York: Independent Curators Incorporated, 1991. First edition soft cover. 72 pp. A catalogue produced for the traveling exhibition, by the same name, that toured Worchester, Denver, Omaha, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and Savannah starting in September 1991 through February, 1993. The exhibit's subject was modernist and experimental photography. Photographers included are Bill Barrette, John Baldessari, Theodore Roszak, Duane Michals and many others. The exhibit illustrates ''that photography's mechanical attributes cannot restrain the medium–that the artists who have chosen photography as their means of expression have rejected the notion that an 'artwork' can only be conceived in terms of traditional painting and sculpture.'' NPT Books, a division of N.P. Trent Antiques, has a large collection of used and out of print books on art, architecture, decoration and antiques with a focus on 1st editions, signed and limited editions.
