Near and Far: Recent Gifts of Photography

Near and Far celebrates the wonder and scope of recent donations of photography to the Museum, some bringing us in contact with a wider world, some with connections close to home, many offering joy. Work ranges from a portrait of anti-apartheid leader Nelson Mandela on his first day of freedom after twenty-seven years in jail, to lovers in Paris, to demonstrators at the Women’s March in Washington, D.C. in January 2017. Photographs by Kristin Capp, Larry Fink, Cal Kowal, and Peter Turnley are featured.
