Description
The Collector’s Eye is a visual and written exploration of the constructed photograph as created in the last decades of the 20th century and the first decades of the 21st century. It documents a collection built by Frazier King, which was exhibited by FotoFest International in the Collector's Eye II Exhibition. An essay by Mr. King reflects on 76 images of a variety of constructed photographs included in the collection.
The narrative explores how Mr. King's own work with this type of image has resulted in a collection of constructed photographs and explains the varied nature of this category of image. The reader gets a personal and inside glimpse of the dynamics of photographic reviews such as the FotoFest Meeting Place and how artists, collectors, and curators interact in this venue and the relationships they form.
In addition to an essay by Mr. King, this volume includes an essay by Wendy Watriss, co-founder and Senior Artistic Advisor of FotoFest, on the significance of collecting and the role of the collector. The third essay is by Madeline Yale Preston, an independent curator based in London, who addresses the role of the collector as curator and the historical evolution and importance of the constructed photograph.
