About the Exhibition
Ansel Adams at
100 is the first major critical re-evaluation of the work of
American photographer Ansel Adams (1902–1984) since his death.
Presented on the centenary of Adams’s birth and featuring
more than one hundred prints, the exhibition represents a substantial
reappraisal of Adams as an artist and working photographer. The
exhibition draws largely from the first part of his career—the
1920s and 1930s—and situates his well-known works within the
context of an unexpected and unfamiliar body of photographs.
This exhibition has been organized by the
San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and John Szarkowski, Director
Emeritus,
Department
of Photography, The Museum of Modern Art.
The international tour is made possible by Hewlett-Packard. Support
for the New York showing is provided by AOL Time Warner Book Group
and the Robert and Joyce Menschel Family Foundation. Additional
funding is provided by the Daniele Agostino Foundation. The accompanying
educational programs are made possible by BNP Paribas.
