Bruce Davidson "East 100th Street: The MoMA show as curated by John Szarkowski in 1970"
Howard Greenberg Gallery
This event has ended.
In 1970, The Museum of Modern Art exhibited ground-breaking works from Bruce Davidson's photographic essay, 'East 100th Street.' MoMA's esteemed curator, John Szarkowski, selected 43 photographs and we are pleased to have the opportunity to exhibit these actual prints in precisely the state and manner in which they were exhibited in 1970. The MoMA show was accompanied by the publication of the first edition of Davidson's book, 'East 100th Street.' Through this exhibition, the gallery has strived to present an historically accurate re-creation of a memorable MoMA exhibition and insight into Szarkowski's curatorial process. In the south gallery, the gallery is exhibiting a selection of photographs that was inspired by the expanded edition of 'East 100th Street,' published in 2001 by St. Anne's Press, and not included in Szarkowski's edit.
