Descripción de la Exposición
This exhibition of approximately 98 photographic works is derived from a major private collection of photography amassed by Anne and Arthur Goldstein, New Jersey residents. A New Reality explores two themes: the continued use of black-and-white photography as a medium of visual and historical consequence, and a growing tendency to exploit photography for an expressive and conceptual range far beyond its traditional role as a simple visual transcription of reality. To that end, over the course of their investigation of modern and contemporary photography, the collectors have increasingly gravitated toward works that reflect inventive and experimental use of photographic processes, or imagery that is unusual, imaginative, unsettling, or provocative.
Chronologically, the collection represents major figures whose work spans the years 1950 to the present. Among the significant photographers with work on view are: Diane Arbus, Richard Avedon, Sherrie Levine, Duane Michals, Vik Muniz, Cindy Sherman, Mike and Doug Starn, William Wegman, and Joel-Peter Witkin. While numerically emphasizing American photographers, the exhibition also includes prominent international photographers, such as Bernd and Hilla Becher (Germany), Laurent Millet (France), Tacita Dean (Great Britain), Hiroshi Sugimoto (Japan), and Mohammad Eslami-Rad (Iran).
