Art books are forever, but the past decade brought forth what very well might have been more than ever before. ARTnews released a survey of the best art books published from 2010 to 2019, ranked in order of importance. They run the gamut from fiction to photo-books, and some have altered art history along the way.
“The Notion of Family” by LaToya Ruby Frazier (Aperture, 2014)
LaToya Ruby Frazier is among the best photographers working today, and her first photo-book offered an intense preview of what has happened since. Centuries-long histories of racism and economic oppression are made personal through Frazier’s stark black-and-white images of her family, and her approach has informed the way a host of young Black photographers are taking pictures now.
