Join Verna Curtis, curator of photography in the Prints & Photographs Division of the Library of Congress; photographer Duane Michals, as well as Aperture Editor Denise Wolff to discuss the illustrated history of a mode of presentation that became an art form in itself—a history that has seen radical shifts in the role of handmade artists’ objects. This panel takes place on the occasion of the release of Photographic Memory: The Album in the Age of Photography which traces the rise of the album from the turn of the century to the present day, showcasing some of the most important examples in the history of the medium, as collected by the Library of Congress.
