Curated by Sarah Greenough, Erin O’Toole, and Leo Rubinfien
It has been forty-six years since Garry Winogrand (1928–1984), America’s preeminent photographer of the social landscape, erupted out of moma’s epochal “New Documents” show. Winogrand’s métier was the urban ensemble, and no photographer had a better instinct for the found arabesque. Though only a fraction of Winogrand’s work was published during his lifetime, now his colleague and friend the photog- rapher Leo Rubinfien (with the help of O’Toole from SF moma and Greenough from the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC) has selected more than three hundred photographs—one-third of which had never before been printed—to go on view. This major exhibition and catalogue promise to provide a revelatory time trip.
