Jan Mulder Collection: contemporary photography

Abstract

Contemporary photography from the collection of renowned collector Jan Mulder, founder of the Lima-based Centro de la Imagen. This is the first catalog, featuring 80 works of contemporary photographers from 20 different nationalities. Taking Robert Frank's visit to Perú in 1948 as its starting point, this volume presents a chronological survey of the extraordinary collection. Made in collaboration with Marta Gili (Director, Arles National School of Photography, France), who has also written the prologue to the catalogue, this volume also included introductory texts by François Hébel (Director, Fondation Cartier-Bresson, Paris) and Jan Mulder, who provide a closer, more personal view of his photography collection, considered one of the most important in Latin America and the largest and most active in Peru.
