Establishing a well-put-together photography collection is an art in itself, and mastering the technique is as simple as reading—and looking closely at—this lush volume. It’s filled with practical advice on building and curating a collection, along with beautiful photographs by early and contemporary masters that showcase photography’s diverse genres, schools, and movements. Explore different types of collections, including biographical, historical, genre, and thematic. Browse through a plethora of inspiring images—landscapes, portraits, nudes, still lifes, fashion images, photojournalism, and more—each with in-depth analysis to train the mind as well as the eye.

5.0 out of 5 stars The owner's manual on collecting photography, January 24, 2007
By 
TomAssini (San Juan, Puerto Rico) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Art of Collecting Photography (General) (Hardcover)
If you were to choose just one book to learn on collecting photography, this one qualifies as the only reference needed. But be advised, the marketplace changes and this book doesn't substitutes being well informed on current trends.

Excellently researched and very thorough.
