Autophoto: Cars & Photography, 1900 to Now

By: Xavier Barral

The camera's romance with the car: a love story to the automobile in photography

The ultimate gift for car enthusiasts and photography lovers alike.

Autophoto is a stunning visual journey that celebrates the deep, decades-long connection between the automobile and the art of photography. Perfect for coffee tables, collectors, and anyone fascinated by the beauty of cars, this lavish book showcases how the car has transformed not only our roads but the way we see the world.

Featuring over 500 photographs by 100 iconic photographers--including legends like Robert Frank, Walker Evans, William Eggleston, and Daido Moriyama--this book captures everything from gleaming chrome curves to dusty highways, neon-lit gas stations to sleek modern design.

Whether it's a reflection in a rearview mirror or the sweeping geometry of a freeway, these images reveal the car as a symbol of freedom, identity, and style. Autophoto also includes exclusive projects like French artist Alain Bublex's reimagined car models, in-depth essays, and behind-the-scenes commentary from artists and scholars.

Beautifully designed and intellectually rich, Autophoto is more than a photography book--it's a tribute to the culture, design, and dream of the automobile.

An unforgettable gift for car lovers, design buffs, and art book collectors.
