Arthur and Anne Goldstein, whose collecting odyssey began with photography, donated nearly one hundred photographs to the Zimmerli Art Museum. This exhibition features thirty black and white photographs from the late twentieth-century including a rare, early self-portrait by Robert Rauschenberg, and one of Hannah Wilke’s performalist self-portraits with Donald Goddard from her series “So Help Me Hannah.”  These works emphasize the role of photography within the larger context of avant-garde art, and are accompanied by portraits, landscapes, views of the city, scenes of everyday life, and photographs by artists who use the camera to invent new realities beyond the everyday.

Generous support for bilingual text was provided by Art Bridges Foundation’s Access for All program.
