Contemporary Photographs at the National Gallery of Art, Acquired with the Alfred H. Moses and Fern M. Schad Fund
In the decades since 1990, the concepts of time and memory have been frequently explored by photographers who seek not simply to reflect the world but to illuminate how photography constructs our understanding of it. This exhibition explores the work of twenty-six contemporary artists—such as Sophie Calle (b. 1953), Adam Fuss (b. 1961 ), Idris Khan (b.1978), Vera Lutter (b. 1960), Sally Mann (b. 1951), Chris McCaw (b. 1971), Christian Marclay (b. 1955), and Carrie Mae Weems (b. 1953)—who investigate the complex and resonant relationship of photography to time, memory, and history.
The generosity of the Alfred H. Moses and Fern M. Schad Fund made it possible for the Gallery to acquire these works. The curators of this exhibition are Sarah Greenough, senior curator and head of the department of photographs, and Andrea Nelson, assistant curator, department of photographs, National Gallery of Art. A fully illustrated catalog will accompany the exhibition.
