"Pictures that are made, not taken, are the focus of this exciting collectionof works by 90 American artists who are using appropriation, computer technology, performance, and numerous other sources of inspiration to stretch the limits and expand the possibilities of photographic art. The selection of non-traditional pictures includes works by some of the decade's most interesting experimenters -- Cindy Sherman, Sherrie Levine, Richard Prince, Barbara Kruger, William Christenberry, Louise Lawler, Stefan Roloff, and others -- who create or manipulate the subject photographed."
