European Photography

European Photography was founded as a quarterly magazine in German and English in 1980.{{cite journal|jstor=24554742|issue=5|year=1992|journal=The Print Collector's Newsletter|volume=23|title=Reviewed work: European Photography Award 1991, EUROPEAN PHOTOGRAPHY|page=179}}{{Cite web|last=Veeder|first=Hillary B.|date=October 2015|title=Histories of Periodical Literature of Art & Design 2015|url=https://www.arlisna.org/images/researchreports/TitleHistories_2015.pdf|access-date=6 September 2021|website=Art Libraries Society of North America}}“30 Years of European Photography.” Interview by Peter Kunitzky. Eikon, Vienna, no. 69, 2010 Each issue focused on one particular theme and also reported on international photo initiatives, exhibitions, and book publications.The History of European Photography. (2010). Austria: Central European House of Photography. It drew on an international network of photographers, critics, and curators. Only the first few issues were restricted to European themes; according to editor/publisher Müller-Pohle, by 1985 at the latest;

"the magazine title had changed [...] from the literal to the metaphorical: Europe meaning transnationalism, pluralism, diversity.""Art and Publishing – European Photography's Anniversary. Hans-Michael Koetzle in Conversation with Andreas Müller-Pohle," in: European Photography, nos. 85/86, spring/summer 2009, p.76.

In 1993, European Photography changed its publication frequency from quarterly to bi-annual,The History of European Photography. (2010). Austria: Central European House of Photography with a new format (24 x 30 cm) and page count (84).

In 2004, the publishing house moved from Göttingen to Berlin.

European Photography contributed significantly to the theoretical debate about photography and new media and published programmatic texts early on, for example on Visualism,{{cite magazine|last=Müller-Pohle|first=Andreas|year=1980|title=Visualism|magazine=European Photography|location=Göttingen|issue=3|pages=4–10}} which as Paula Gortazar explains

"...was not only the title of the article but also the name of the theory it presented. Having emerged on the western side of the Iron Curtain, the theory of Visualism challenged Cold War ideologies...and, coupled with his own practice, was the result of a vindication of authenticity, a response to an overdose of imagery charged with capitalist ideology."

In addition to the photographers and their work represented, and alongside Andreas Müller-Pohle, and Vilém Flusser,Lenot, M. (2017). Flusser and Photographers, Photographers and Flusser.

In addition to the periodical, European Photography has produced book-form publications.

In 1982, the European Photo Galleries Guide was released, of which seven further updated and successively expanded editions under the title European Photography Guide followed through 2003.Swinnen, J. (2003). European Guide 8, International guide'European Photography'. In European Guide 8, International guide 'European Photography'. European Photography.Matthews, D. (2005). professional organizations, photographers'. In The Oxford Companion to the Photograph. : Oxford University Press.

The editors described the eighth and final edition – the collaborative effort of over forty correspondents in thirty-four countries – as "the most comprehensive reference work on the photography-and-art scene in Europe ever published."European Photography Guide 8, ed. Vladimir Birgus and Lea Gryze (Göttingen: European Photography, 2003)

In 1983, European Photography{{'}}s first theoretical book publication was the essay Für eine Philosophie der Fotografie by the media and cultural philosopher Vilém Flusser, whom Andreas Müller-Pohle had met two years earlier at a symposium in Düsseldorf and who subsequently became a regular columnist for the magazine.Klaus Sander, "Flusser-Quellen. Eine kommentierte Bibliografie Vilém Flussers von 1960–2002," URL : http://s3.amazonaws.com/arena-attachments/1485097/d85714e287d539db39da46f0e5198b20.pdf"Andreas Müller-Pohle. Interview," in: Flusser Studies, no. 10, 2010, URL: https://eprints.soton.ac.uk/179859/1/photography-beyond.pdf An English translation was published in 1984 under the title Towards a Philosophy of Photography. Flusser's collaboration with European Photography continued on various levels until his death in 1991, most importantly as a columnist for the magazine ("Reflections") and as author of the ten-volume Edition Flusser published by Müller-Pohle.[https://equivalence.com/edition-flusser https://equivalence.com/edition-flusser/] Edition Flusser

Also in 1983, European Photography took over the magazine Print Letter,Horenstein, H., Hart, R. (1989). The Photographer's Source: A Complete Catalogue. United States: Simon & Schuster. which had been founded in 1976 by Marco Misani in Zurich and was aimed at galleries, museums, and collectors.Derek Bennett, "Interview with Marco Misani," in: European Photography, no. 13, 1983, p. 44. It was continued in European Photography until 1989 as a separate section of the magazine, last identified in the imprint in 1995.
