This exhibition examined the work of eight American photographers who made important contributions to the art of photography in the middle years of the twentieth century--Berenice Abbott, Robert Adams, Harold Edgerton, Robert Frank, Danny Lyon, Aaron Siskind, Minor White, and Garry Winogrand. Each artist was represented by about ten photographs and paired with a single image by another photographer working in the last twenty-five years. The more recent photographers include: Marco Breuer Carl Chiarenza, Richard Misrach, Julie Moos, Sebastiao Salgado, Gary Schneider, and Krzysztof Wodiczko. Comparing photographs by different artists revealed unexpected relationships in subject matter, composition, and underlying theme. By expanding the idea of what a photograph can be, these works represented the many perspectives, both formal and conceptual, that unfolded over the previous seventy years.
