LIBRARY & LOUNGE


On the shelves
Photography History
Monographs and surveys tracing photographers and the history of the medium — from William Eggleston, Martin Parr, Larry Sultan and Sally Mann to photographers from different cultures and generations. Together they show the range of styles and approaches photography has taken, and the many ways it can interpret and document the world.
Photography Education
The teaching books that guided Peggy's students — technique, seeing and craft. Peggy built much of the collection with her students in mind, so they could discover new photographers, study the medium and learn by turning pages. Anyone who visits can pick up a book and learn the same way.
Film & Cinema
Mitrani Art's own collection of books on cinema, moving image and art round out the collection. These titles extend the library's conversation about photography to the moving image — a natural companion to our screenings and film programs.
