Background information
"The photographic volume '122 Colour Photographs' by Keld HELMER-PETERSEN, first published in Copenhagen in 1948, anticipates the work of Willam EGGLESTON and Stephen SHORE by two decades in that it features photographs that work only in color, not black and white. By focusing on the everyday and mundane, '122 Colour Photographs' deserves recognition as a remarkably early and successful attempt to establish color photography as well as modernize Danish photography.
