More than 40 images in the book have never before been published. The book traces Aperture's fascinating history as well as the currents in photography that have brought the medium to its present status as one of the most important art forms. It demonstrates how Aperture has shaped this evolution while expanding the international audience for photography and the visual arts.Aperture Publishing Staff is the author of 'Photography Past Forward Aperture at 50' with ISBN 9781931788373 and ISBN 1931788375.
