Photography on Photography: Reflections on the Medium since 1960

April 08, 2008 - October 19, 2008
The Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1000 Fifth Avenue at 82nd Street, New York, New York 10028-0198, Phone: 212-535-7710, United States

This installation of works from the permanent collection—the second in the Museum’s new gallery for contemporary photographs—will survey the ways in which artists have directed the camera toward photography itself, taking aim at its claims of transparency and objectivity, its ubiquity in modern life, and its inextricable ties to advertising and consumer culture. Artists include William Anastasi, Robert Heinecken, Allen Ruppersberg, Sherrie Levine, Thomas Ruff, Christopher Williams, Roe Etheridge, Liz Deschenes, James Welling, and Kota Ezawa, among many others.
