Ivan Vartanian Talks Japanese Photobooks of the 1960s and 70s in Milan
On Tuesday, November 22, in Milan, author, editor and founder of Goliga Books Ivan Vartanian will give a talk on Japanese Photobooks of the 1960s and ’70s (Vartanian curated Aperture’s 2009 survey book Japanese Photobooks of the 1960′s and 70s) at the Micamera bookstore. Over the course of the evening Vartanian will be showing some 20 photobooks from this pivotal moment in the medium’s history, discussing printing techniques, design and layout, typography as well as the societal and political issues that were at play. During the 1960s and ’70s the photobook came to be considered the final form of a photographers work leading to a books-making renaissance during which photographers such as Nobuyoshi Araki, Eikoh Hosoe, Shomei Tomatsu, Takuma Nakahira among others made many classic, experimental and daring works that remain influential today.
