PRC friend and Boston College professor Karl Baden recently curated an exhibition of books and book covers that feature photographs at the Boston Public Library. The exhibition runs through December 31st.

The show is based upon Karl’s amazing endeavor and resource, the Covering Photography archive and web site. This effort, as stated on the site, is a ” resource for the study of the relationship between the history of photography and book cover design.” In essence, he is collecting book covers that feature or riff upon famous and not so famous images. Poke around, it’s fantastic!

Congrats Karl! We can’t wait to see it.

This fall, close to 200 vintage and contemporary photographs go up for auction to benefit the PRC. Above is one of the amazing images on which you can bid. Keep checking back to see more auction images. Click here or on the above image for more information.
