Destined to be the definitive book on this master photographer and written to accompany a major international exhibition of his work, this 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 director of the Centennial exhibition, which opens in Adams' hometown, at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, in August 2001, and tours for more than two years. Szarkowski has painstakingly selected what he considers Adams' greatest work - 144 images - and has attempted to find the single best photographic point of each.
This is the first serious effort to reconsider Adams' achievements as an artist since his death in 1984.
