MORE THAN ONE WORLD - New Japanese Photography 50 Years On

Japanese photography today enjoys worldwide recognition, not only thanks to the efforts of people like Shoji Yamagishi, Sandra Phillips, Ryuichi Kaneko, and curator John Szarkowski but also because of the generations before and after them who preserved and passed on that spark of sustained, almost obsessive passion. This publication commemorates the 50th anniversary of the 1974 exhibition 'New Japanese Photography' at the Museum of Modern Art in New York - the first to introduce the work of Japanese photographers to an international audience and now regarded as a major turning point in the critical reception and study of Japanese photography in the West.
