"Personal experience and photography are indelibly linked. Over the past three decades, contemporary artists Tina Barney, Philip-Lorca diCorcia, Nan Goldin, Sally Mann, and Larry Sultan have created works that document - and sometimes expand or construct - stories based on their own experiences. The resulting photographs explore notions of family across generations, reveal intensely personal moments that are not often depicted, and engage viewers in the narratives they suggest." "This catalogue, presented in conjunction with an exhibition organized by the Art Institute of Chicago, is arranged in portfolio format and features stunning, full-color reproductions of nearly twenty photographs by each artist. An introductory essay by Katherine A. Bussard examines the development of personal photography in relation to the works presented. Insightful entries on each artist and a complete list of works in the exhibition are also included."--Jacket.
