Join author Lyle Rexer as he discusses the role of abstraction through the history of photography, as discussed in his new Aperture publication The Edge of Vision: The Rise of Abstraction in Photography (2009). From the beginning, abstraction has been intrinsic to photography, and its persistent popularity reveals much about the medium. The Edge of Vision: The Rise of Abstraction in Photography is the first book in English to document this phenomenon and to put it into historical context, while also examining the diverse approaches thriving within contemporary photography.
Lyle Rexer is a New York—based independent writer and critic. His previous books include Photography's Antiquarian Avant-Garde (2002) and How to Look at Outsider Art (2005); he contributed an interview with Chuck Close and Bob Holman to A Couple of Ways of Doing Something (Aperture, 2006).
