Race Stories: Essays on the Power of Images

By Aperture

Publisher : Aperture

2024 | 312 pages

The first title in Aperture’s Vision & Justice Book Series—featuring a collection of award-winning short essays by Maurice Berger that explore the intersections of photography, race, and visual culture.

His art gained more prominence during the 1990s, thanks to his collaboration with the luxury art book publisher Taschen.

During the 2000s Saudek lost all his photo negatives in a dispute with a former partner. The pictures were managed and displayed by Saudek.com, his son’s company, against Jan’s will. In 2012 High Court in Prague invalidated contracts between Jan and Saudek.com, effectively returning control over the works to the artist.^[1]^[2]

Saudek is the author of many “mise en scene” that were re-taken and copied by other artists. The cliché of a naked man holding a naked new born baby with tenderness became a pic
