EXHIBITION Influence and Identity | Twentieth Century Portrait Photography from the Bank of America Collection
Influence and Identity | Twentieth Century Portrait Photography from the Bank of America Collection
Influence and Identity: Twentieth Century Portrait Photography from the Bank of America Collection features the works of international photographers from the early through the mid-twentieth century, a period often called the golden age of portrait photography. The exhibition includes works by master portraitists such as Antony Armstrong-Jones, Richard Avedon and Yousuf Karsh, as well as renowned photographers Berenice Abbott, Ansel Adams, Garry Winogrand and Brassaï. Using photography, a medium born of the modern era, these artists produced images that capture the commanding personalities of celebrated figures in popular culture, politics and the arts.
Throughout history, the intent of portraiture has been to capture an individual’s likeness and personality. An important tool for social documentation, portraiture is a form of historical record, marking a person’s image and significance in a specific time and place, as well as the unique viewpoint of the artist who created it. The many motivations in capturing the likeness of another person may include official state purposes, the remembrance of a loved one or religious veneration—or simply a commission by the influential and powerful to mark their status. Similarly, styles of portraiture and the messages contained within have evolved over time in every manner imaginable. A portrait exists far beyond the moment it was created, often beyond the lifetime of the sitter, allowing the subject to engage with viewers for generations to come.
The photographic portraits featured in this exhibition reveal a wide variety of styles, viewpoints and themes, each photographer bringing his or her subjective interpretation to each image. Influence and Identity is a reflection of the photographers and their noteworthy subjects that have come to define the photographic portraiture of a recent era.

EXHIBITION Science in Motion: The Photographic Studies of Eadweard Muybridge, Berenice Abbott and Harold Edgerton, Works from the Bank of America Collection
Science in Motion: The Photographic Studies of Eadweard Muybridge, Berenice Abbott and Harold Edgerton, Works from the Bank of America Collection
This exhibition of 36 photographs offers a rich and extensive view of the scientific studies done by three of photography’s greats: Eadweard Muybridge, Berenice Abbott and Harold Edgerton. Each of these artists invented devices to study and represent aspects of light and motion scientifically and photographically. Not only do their works clearly and elegantly reveal scientific phenomena, but in them their individualized artistic sensibility is also evident. These photographs are therefore not merely scientific studies, but art unto themselves.
