This exhibition celebrated the remarkable ascendancy of photography in the last century, and Ann Tenenbaum and Thomas H. Lee's magnificent promised gift of over sixty extraordinary photographs in honor of The Met's 150th anniversary in 2020. The collection is particularly notable for its breadth and depth of works by women artists, its sustained interest in the nude, and its focus on artists' beginnings. The exhibition will include masterpieces by the medium's greatest practitioners, including works by Diane Arbus, Joseph Cornell, Walker Evans, Dora Maar, László Moholy-Nagy, Sigmar Polke, Man Ray, Cindy Sherman, Paul Strand, Andy Warhol, and Edward Weston.
