Le Magazine du Centre, No. 92, March–April 1996. Special Feature: Photography. Paris, Centre Georges Pompidou, 1996. In-4, paperback, illustrated cover. A particularly comprehensive issue of the Centre Georges Pompidou’s bimonthly magazine, entirely devoted to photography at a pivotal moment in its institutional recognition in France. The special issue brings together several leading experts and offers reflections on the history, public collections, the art market, and contemporary uses of photography. It includes contributions by Michel Tournier, Serge Bramly, Michel Frizot, André Rouillé, and Alain Sayag, who was then head of the photography collections at the Musée national d’Art moderne. The articles address the emergence of photography as a work of art, the development of major public collections, the evolution of the photography market, American photography, and the historical and aesthetic challenges of the medium. The cover features a reproduction of *Le Cri* (c. 1927) by František Drtikol, held in the collection of the National Museum of Modern Art, while the issue serves as a valuable record of the Center Pompidou’s photography policy in the mid-1990s. Condition: Very good copy.
