The collection features over 100 iconic images by Julia Margaret Cameron, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Eugene Smith, Robert Frank, Dorothea Lange, and many more.
The collection spans the full range of the medium, from nineteenth-century salt prints to digital prints of the twentieth century. “Moment in Time” provides visitors to the National Gallery of Ireland with an exciting opportunity to explore the history of photography while also learning more about the techniques which were popular over the last 180 years.
Over 50 years ago, Beaumont and Nancy Newhall, pioneering collectors and historians who became the first curators of the photography department at The Museum of Modern Art, New York in the 1940s, assembled this impressive selection of works spanning the history of photography.
Sean Rainbird, Director of the National Gallery of Ireland, commented: “We’re delighted to work with Bank of America again on this important exhibition. As the Gallery continues to acquire photographs for the national collection, it’s fantastic to be able to share such significant works from Bank of America’s iconic collection with our visitors.”
