Inge Morath: Iran Blog Reviews
The IM Foundation’s recent publication, Inge Morath: Iran (Steidl, 2009), has recently been the subject of several interesting reviews. The Foundation began its work on Iran in 2005, and the book was finally published in ’09, after extensive research. Presenting more than 300 photographs and a selection of related documents from Morath’s archive, it is a deep look into one of her early assignments, the first to take her outside Europe. Starting with a commission from Holiday Magazine, Morath traveled in Iran with Robert Delpire during 1956; two years later Delpire published Morath’s second monograph, De La Perse a l’Iran. The new book, published by Steidl, greatly expands on the earlier, and its accompanying texts seek to place this largely unknown body
of photographs within the larger field of photojournalism. Edited and with an introduction by Inge Morath Foundation director John Jacob, with additional texts by Monika Faber and Azar Nafisi.
