About

Since the publication in 1999 of Horacio Fernández’s Fotografía Pública: Photography in Print 1919–1939 and 2001 of Andrew Roth’s The Book of 101 Books: Seminal Photographic Books of the Twentieth Century, books on photobooks have experienced an explosion of popularity. Photo Book Photo List is unique in that it features not only great photobooks, but lists of the photobooks that have been formative to contemporary practicing photographers. The project is the culmination of Christopher McCall’s ongoing conversations with many photographers over the last fifteen years. Each provided a list of between eight and fourteen prized, cherished photobooks, sometimes annotated with notes or observations, and the artist Libby Black created a sculpture of one or more books on each list to illustrate it.
