Description: This book celebrates the fortieth anniversary of the Hasselblad Award ? the world?s most prestigious photography prize ? and the influential work of all its winners to date. Their photography reveals a broad spectrum of engagement with the world, from the personal and intimate to the scientific and political, from the street to the studio, from the cinematic, poetic and surreal to the curious, engaged and caring. They are artists, innovators, activists and legends who have shaped the modern history of photography. Foreword by Sir Elton John. Essays by Duncan Forbes, Director of Photography, Victoria and Albert Museum, London.0Texts by: Duncan Forbes, Elton John, Nina Strand, Louise Wolthers, Dragana Vujanovic Östlind.
