Bettina,
Not necessarily a source for biographies, but for a first run at name
authority, I always use:
International photography : George Eastman House index to photographers,
collections, and exhibitions / Andrew H. Eskind, editor ; Greg Drake,
Kirsti Ringger, Lynne Rumney, associate editors.
Enl. and expanded version of the Index to American photographic
collections, 3rd enl. ed.
New York : G.K. Hall ; London : Prentice Hall International, 1998. 3 v.
The online version, Photography Collections Online:
http://www.geh.org/
I defer to our colleagues at GEH to clarify if the 1998 title and PCO
are one and the same, and if PCO is updated regularly.
Best,
Peter
