Piotr Uklanski: Fatal Attraction

Rosetta Brooks

Published on the occasion of the spring 2015 Metropolitan Museum of Art exhibition Fatal Attraction: Piotr Uklański Photographs, and an accompanying exhibition--curated by Uklański--of works from the Met's permanent collection, Piotr Uklański: Selects from the Met Collection, this book presents an in-depth examination of Uklański's photographic oeuvre as well as images from the Met collection exhibition. A luxurious, richly illustrated monograph, Piotr Uklański: Fatal Attraction consists of images of works made by Piotr Uklański, as well as groupings of images of artworks selected by Uklański from the Met's collections for an accompanying exhibition.
