This is the tenth exhibition in an annual series devoted to significant recent work in photography. Originally installed in a single gallery, the New Photography exhibition last year expanded to two galleries.

Over the past decade the series has presented bodies of work by thirty-eight artists from the United States, France, Germany, Great Britain, Israel, Japan, Spain, Switzerland, and Ukraine. Collectively the work of these artists inevitably suggests the diversity of contemporary photography. Each body of work, however, has been presented as an individual achievement.

    How we identified these works

    In 2018–19, MoMA collaborated with Google Arts & Culture Lab on a project using machine learning to identify artworks in installation photos. That project has concluded, and works are now being identified by MoMA staff.
