"Ansel Adams at 100"
2003-07-11 until 2003-11-03
MoMA QNS
Queens, NY, USA United States of America

This is the first major critical re-evaluation of the work of American photographer Ansel Adams since his death in 1984. The exhibition presents more than 100 prints, many of them unfamiliar even to specialists, and represents substantial reappraisal of Adams as an artist and working photographer. This exhibition was organized by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. John Szarkowski, Director Emeritus of MoMA's Department of Photography, organized the exhibition on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Adams's birth.

The exhibition is accompanied by a major publication containing reproductions of extraordinary fidelity and an essay by Mr. Szarkowski that articulates his reappraisal of Adams's work. 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.
