Since photography’s beginnings in the 19th century, the medium has constantly evolved – in its purpose, its audiences, its collectors and its technology. This title surveys photography’s past, present and future transformations through thematic groupings pulled from the preeminent collection at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Photographers featured include Julia Margaret Cameron, Richard Avedon, Margaret Bourke-White, Robert Capa, Catherine Opie, Gohar Dashti, Martine Gutierriez.The diverse selection of objects explores images made not just for a fine art context but also for documentation, the printed page, science, architecture, surveys, publicity and more. Photographers revealing these multiple narratives include Southworth and Hawes, Julia Margaret Cameron, Lewis Hine, James Van Der Zee, Richard Avedon, Irving Penn, Margaret Bourke-White, Robert Capa, Catherine Opie, Gohar Dashti, Martine Gutierriez and Alejandro Cartagena. This publication celebrates the centennial anniversary of Alfred Steiglitz’s founding gift to the museum’s photography collection.
