Covering Photography…
November 26th, 2008Photographer Karl Baden, who runs a wonderful website called Covering Photography (which explores the relationship between photography and book covers) has just curated a show by the same name. Covering Photography will run through Dec. 31 in the Rare Books Department at the Boston Public Library (open Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.). “The exhibit explores the influence of iconic photographs on book cover design by comparing book covers from Baden’s own collection that he believes were either directly appropriated or influenced by famous photographs, with book illustrations of the original photographs, as the photographer meant them to be seen.” Well worth checking out.
