May 7, 2002–September 15, 2002
Drawings, Prints, and Photographs Galleries, The Howard Gilman Gallery, 2nd floor
This exhibition of some 60 works from the Museum’s collection surveys photography in New York City from the era of the daguerreotype to the 1970s, and includes E.A. Anthony’s famous stereoscopic view of Broadway on a rainy day (1859), Edward Steichen’s intense, chromatic study of the Flatiron Building (1904), and Helen Levitt’s lyrical scenes of children at play on the city’s lively streets and colorful stoops (1930–70s).
