In the winter 2013 issue of Aperture, titled 'Photography as you don't know it,' leading curators, historians, writers, and publishers introduce ten photographers they believe have been overlooked, or are undervalued, and deserve more attention today. The issue also considers important exhibitions due for reconsideration, how various institutions respond to photography's continually shifting boundaries, and how we might assemble the future history of photography. ?
