The Sir Mark Fehrs Haukohl Collection of European Women Photographers

This book explores the collection of photo-based art by European women photographers from Yto Barrada to Shirana Shahbazi, belonging to Texas-based philanthropist Sir Mark Fehrs Haukohl. The collection is one of the largest of its kind and comprises 220 works by nearly 90 emerging and established women photographers from 17 countries in Western and Eastern Europe.

The selection from Haukohl's collection questions notions of nation, identity, and gender, with a particular emphasis on representations of the body and associated themes of beauty, femininity, and objectification.
