Met acquires Photo Cache
Art in America, May, 2005
The Metropolitan Museum of Art recently acquired the Gilman Paper Collection of photographs, containing some 8,500 items. Part purchase, part gift of the Howard Gilman Foundation, the works were assembled by Gilman, chairman of the paper company, over a 20-year period ending with his death in 1998.
The focus of the collection is early photography, with examples by William Henry Fox Talbot, Nadar, Lewis Carroll and Julia Margaret Cameron, plus 21 works by Gustave Le Gray and 50 prints by Atget. The acquisition also includes key examples of 20th-century photography by Rodchenko, Brassai, August Sander, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Paul Strand and Man Ray. Changing selections from the collection are on view at the Met through spring 2006.
