What They Saw: Historical Photobooks by Women, 1843-1999 sheds light on photobooks created by women from diverse backgrounds, and addresses the glaring gaps and omissions in current photobook history—in particular, the lack of access, support and funding for non-Western women and women of colour. The book is beautifully illustrated with photographs of classic bound books, portfolios, personal albums, unpublished books, zines and scrapbooks,
ranging from well-known publications to the more obscure.
Speaking about the winner of the Photography Book Award, judge Renée Mussai said: “Rigorously researched, generously illustrated, and ingeniously designed, this is an extraordinary publication which not only fills an essential gap and missing chapter in photographic scholarship, but importantly foregrounds the creative pursuits of a diverse
constituency of women, whose significant contributions to global photobook historiography still too often remains invisible.”
Published by The Whitney, The Films of Andy Warhol Catalogue Raisonné 1963-1965 focuses on Warhol’s film works from the years 1963-65 during a time where the renowned artist produced hundreds of film and video works - short and long, silent and sound, scripted and improvised. The book features over 100 individual works which are catalogued in detail and
combined with enlightening essays that cover Warhol’s influences, his experimentation with film, source material, working methods and technical innovations, as well as his engagement with the people he filmed and how they came to life on the screen.
