Imogen Cunningham: A Retrospective

In a career that spanned seventy years, Imogen Cunningham created a large and diverse body of work — from portraits, to nudes, to florals, and to street photographs. In a field dominated by men, she was one of a handful of women who helped to shape early modernist photography in America. This exhibition seeks to acknowledge her stature as equivalent to that of her male peers and to reevaluate her enormous contribution to twentieth century photographic history.

The museum is open from 10-5:30 Tues – Sunday. Admission is free, and requires a timed-entry reservation. Check visit information and current safety measure requirements >
