The Photograph as an Art Object summary

In Felicity Cole's article, she talks about several different artists who use unconventional methods to display photography. In the cases of Frank Eugene, Gertrude Kasebier, Edward Steichen, and Julie Cockburn, artists sometimes do not even use their own work, but instead uniquely display found photographs. Others utilize sculpture, embroidery, and painting in their work. Still others decide to place their work in photo albums to elicit a more personal response to these images. Finally, when displaying their work in such unique, difficult to reproduce ways, the artists choose to do a limited release of their work, and only a few people will ever get to experience the full effect.
