As with previous anniversary publications of "unrelated works of photography", this present Fraenkel Gallery trove includes a fantastic collection of images by photographers unknown, such as "an X-ray of a change purse, a Polaroid from a prison yard, a collage of the moon's surface radioed to earth from an unmanned spacecraft" - all of which appear, as usual, alongside "several dozen photoraphs made by serious artists with complicated intentions." Marking the Fraenkal Gallery's 30th anniversary, the book is a meditation on the inexplicable essence of the medium of photography. Illus., 16 color/83 b&w. 256p.
