The first comprehensive, posthumous monograph and retrospective on Bernd and Hilla Becher, best known for their photographs of industrial structures in Europe and North America

"Beginning with Paul Strand's "From the Viaduct" in 1916 and continuing through the present day, "Photography's Last Century" examines moments in the history of the medium. Featuring nearly 100 works, it includes examples of works by artists, including Diane Arbus, Richard Avedon, Walker Evans, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, Man Ray, and Cindy Sherman, as well as a group of lesser-known practitioners who helped define photography in the 20th and early 21st centuries. Jeff Rosenheim's text addresses the avant-garde artists of the early decades of the 20th century, the changing role of the camera after the Second World War, the rise of the international market for fine photographic prints in the 1960s, the photography boom in the late 1970s, and the implications of calling this period the "last" century of photography."--
