Portraits: A Century of Photographs
September 10, 2002–January 12, 2003
The Howard Gilman Gallery
Designed to complement the Museum’s landmark exhibition Richard Avedon: Portraits, this selection of some 50 masterworks surveys the first hundred years of photographic portraiture, from early American and French daguerreotypes through the work of Diane Arbus. The installation highlights classic images of artists and writers, actors and composers, by Nadar, Edward Steichen, and Berenice Abbott, among others. Drawn from the collections of the Metropolitan Museum and the Gilman Paper Company.
