Selling Photographs: The value of a Thousand Words

As the author states: ""A lively critical environment clearly
contributes significantly to the seriousness with which an
artist or art-form is considered by various publics, including
potential collectors,..,and the documentation this produces is
essential to the construction of a history''. The author's
question: ""How and where is this debate conducted in Canada?''
The author comments on the criticism policies of magazines like
Vanguard, The Globe and Mail and announces to his regret the
ceasing of a remarkable Canadian magazine Photo Communique and
to a lesser extent of OVO. Remaining alternatives: Views and
Blackflash.
