Facebook: Images of People in Photographs from the Collection


June 27 – August 10, 2008

"This exhibition examines the development of the photographic portrait over a period of eight decades, presenting a selection from the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center collection of close to 3,000 photographs. From August Sander’s iconic portraits of the 1920s to the unique personalities captured by visionary artist Diane Arbus in the 1960s and from the theatrical fictions created by Cindy Sherman in the 1970s to the deadpan views of ordinary New Yorkers by Rineke Dijkstra in the 1990s, this exhibition offers a rare view of the history of faces in photography."
