Two Views: Atget & Friedlander

Peter Bunnell, Princeton University professor emeritus of the history of photography and modern art, has drawn upon the Museum's photography collection to offer visitors a fresh perspective on works by Eugène Atget (1857–1927) and Lee Friedlander (born 1934). These two great masters share an instinct for abstraction, the practice of fragmentation, and a belief in the potential of photographic description, as well as a commitment to examining the social landscapes of their own, distinct times. Many of the photographs on view have never before been exhibited in the galleries.


The museum is open Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday: 10am-5pm; Thursday: 10 am-10pm; Sunday, 1pm-5pm.
