Ansel Adams at 100 Author:John Szarkowski, Ansel Adams Destined to be the definitive book on this master photographer and written to accompany a major international exhibition of his work, Ansel Adams at 100 is one of the most beautiful books ever created. Its author, John Szarkowski, is the most influential photography curator and critic of our time. Mr. Szarkowski is directing the Centennia... more »l exhibition, which opens in Adams' hometown, at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, in 20010800, and tours for more than two years to the great museums of Chicago, London, Berlin, Los Angeles, and New York. Szarkowski has painstakingly selected what he considers Adams' greatest work - 114 images - and has tracked down the single best photographic print of each. This is the first serious effort to reconsider Adams' achievements as an artist since his death in 1984. Szarkowski presents an unexpected and sometimes unfamiliar body of work. His lengthy critical essay speaks to his judgment of the importance of Ansel Adams as a modern artist. SPECIAL FEATURES
