The Polaroid Book: Selections from the Polaroid Collections of Photography
In existence for over 50 years, the Polaroid Corporation's photography
collection is the greatest collection of Polaroid images in the world.
Begun by Polaroid founder Edwin Land and photographer Ansel Adams, the
collection now includes images by hundreds of photographers throughout
the world and contains important pieces by artists such as David
Hockney, Helmut Newton, Jeanloup Sieff, and Robert Rauschenberg. The Polaroid Book,
a survey of this remarkable collection, pays tribute to a medium that
defies the digital age and remains a favorite among artists for its
quirky look and instantly gratifying, one-of-kind images.
