From the introduction: "The 1992 'New Orleans Triennial' exhibition marks the 107th year of the nation's oldest continuous contemporary art exhibition. (...) The format of the 'Triennial' has evolved over its century-long history to its present one of considering all artists working in the twelve-state Southern region, regardless of age, recognition, style or choice of materials. Its purpose has remained constant: to provide artists an opportunity to have their recent work reviewed by a recognized specialilst in contemporary art and then presented in a museum context and publilshed in an accompanying exhibition catalog." The works of photography were selected by John Szarkowski, Director Emeritus of the Department of Photographs at the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) in New York. Magnificently illustrated with full-page b/w and color photographs throughout. Minor scuffing, rubbing to wrappers. Ex libris. Text and captions in English. In very good condition.
