Abstract
Published to accompany the exhibition organized by the UCR California Museum of Photography, and held June 7 - August 28, 2006, at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London.
We cite from the cover:
"The photograph of Ernesto "Che" Guevara by Alberto Korda, taken on March 5, 1960, is thought to be the most reproduced image in the history of photography. It has become an icon, symbolizing antiestablishment thought and action, as relevant in our fractured world today as it was in the revolutionary and pop idiom of the 1960s.
This book tells the extraordinary story of the image, bringing together photography, posters, film, fine art, clothing, and artifacts from the world over to trace Che's transformation from heroic guerrilla through pop celebrity to quintessential symbol of radical chic."
