Photography
The photography collection at Princeton is one of the
leading museum collections in the country. The first photograph
in the collection, a work by Alfred Stieglitz, was registered
in 1949. In 1971 David Hunter McAlpin, Class of 1920, and Mrs.
McAlpin donated their personal collection of nearly 500 photographs,
including works by Ansel Adams, Wynn Bullock, Imogen Cunningham,
Charles Sheeler, and Edward Weston. Since then the department’s
holdings have grown to over 20,000 photographs by over 900 artists,
forming a comprehensive history of the medium from its origins
in the 1840s to the present. Several major archives are housed
at the museum, including those of Minor White, Clarence H. White
and the Clarence H. White School of Photography, Ruth Bernhard,
and William B. Dyer. Exhibitions drawn from the permanent collection
are on view throughout the year, many with accompanying publications.
Photography
at Princeton, an extensive catalogue of the collection,
was published in 1998. The collection is available to students
and scholars either through exhibition or viewing in the study
room by appointment. |
