Aperture 149: Dark Days, Mystery, Murder, Mayhem (Fall 1997)

Aperture's Fall 1997 issue, "Dark Days: Mystery, Murder, Mayhem," assembled around photography's fascination with crime, death, and the macabre. Contributors include Cindy Sherman, Andy Warhol, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Jeff Wall, Andres Serrano, Larry Clark, Christian Boltanski, Anselm Kiefer, and Joel-Peter Witkin, alongside essays by Michael Lesy, Lynne Tillman, Peggy Roalf, and a Pulitzer Prize-winning contribution from E. Annie Proulx titled "Dead Stuff." The issue takes up Andres Serrano's "Morgue" series and the controversy that followed its 1992 debut, using it as a starting point for a broader look at why photographs of death hold such a grip on the public.
