Robert Burley & Doina Popescu
Hardcover | 22.2 x 1.9 x 27.9 cm | 176 pp
Princeton Architectural Press | 2012 | 9781616890957
Photographer Robert Burley has traveled the world documenting the abandonment and destruction of film-based photography, namely, the factories where film was produced and the labs that developed it.
The atmospheric large-format photographs transport viewers to rarely seen sites where the alchemy of the photographic process was practiced over the last century-from the Polaroid plant in Waltham, Massachusetts to the Kodak-Pathe plant in Chalon-sur-Saone, France, the birthplace in 1827 of photography itself.
As both fine art and documentary, The Disappearance of Darkness is an elegiac reflection on the resilience of traditional art forms in the digital era and a vital commemoration of a century-old industry that seems to have disappeared overnight.

I have become an admirer of Patti Smith since coming upon a remarkable short film of her very moving meeting face to face with Pope Leo at the Vatican.
So joyous and inspiring. Her presence and her breathtaking response to Pope Leo so genuine.
Something to remember 🙏🌹❤️
I love Peter Blake’s artwork and have done so for decades. This overview of his work was too good to resist at the price. Excellent quality book.
One of my “rules” about online shopping is that”never sign up for the email marketing”. Well, I am glad that I broke that rule for Books About Art. I have bought three books as a consequence of being on their mailing list, books that I would otherwise have never known to exist. All sent in secure packaging in a timescale well within the estimated delivery period. Great prices too. The non-mint books really are excellent value too as the one I got looked brand new.
In short, sign up and start discovering!
Excellent service, prompt delivery, great price!
Highly recommended
