Ever Present: Photographs from the Collection 1850鈥�1975
Images from photography鈥檚 early years have a peculiar temporality. They evoke a seemingly remote past through old-fashioned clothing and poses, as well as often unfamiliar customs and geographies. But they also deliver the past to us in a very immediate and familiar way. Through photography, the past is always with us 鈥� it is 鈥榚ver present鈥�.
This exhibition, drawn from the Gallery鈥檚 historical collections, presents works by unknown nineteenth-century photographers alongside iconic images by some of the masters of the twentieth century, such as Walker Evans, Henri Cartier-Bresson and Diane Arbus.
