These photographs and many, many more form the Miami-based collection Debra and Dennis Scholl have amassed over the last two decades. Representing an important selection of the major figures in contemporary American and European photography, they are here accompanied by essays from Nancy Spector, James Rondeau, and Michael Rush, three of the most important curators of contemporary art. Average Rating:
 Rating: - thought out, down to the titleI found this book to be a useful tool for me. It stimulated an interest in photography that was always obscured by my interest for the other visual arts. there are some real gems in here that you will come back to, time and again. you will not be let down by the quality of the images, the work selected, or how the book is presented. it is just a shame that the palm beach contemporary museum has since closed. the work, from dennis scholls collection can be seen in miami though.
