The work of Josef Sudek is closely connected with its publication in a wide range of books. In his essay, Vojtěch Lahoda summarizes Sudek’s relationship to books, noting his early studies to become a book-maker, up to his unique role in creating publications of photographic images, which he purposely worked on since the beginning of his career in the 1920s, and continued to do so in his own art catalogues and monographs until the end of his life. Many were also published after his death due to the diligence of Anna Fárová and others. Lahoda’s encyclopedic listing of publications with Sudek’s images does not neglect to define his work’s resources, such as Sudek’s relationship to the city of Prague, as well as to artists and the art world in general.
