The Museum’s photography collection surveys the history of the medium, from the advent of the daguerreotype to recent digital innovations. A wide range of subjects and artists are embraced by the Museum’s holdings, which consist of 1,000 objects. Among international figures such as David Octavius Hill and Robert Adamson, Francis Frith, Herbert Bayer and André Kertész are seminal figures in American photography, including Harry Callahan, Imogen Cunningham, Bernice Abbott and Minor White. Recent gifts of works by Marion Post Wolcott enhance the Museum’s holdings of the FSA photographers, ranging from Dorothea Lange to Wright Morris. Of particular interest is the collection’s emphasis on the California landscape as subject, featuring 19th- and 20th-century examples from artists such as Carleton E. Watkins, Ansel Adams and Edward Weston.
