Imogen Cunningham (American, 1883–1976) was a seminal photographer with a far-ranging vision, creating a diverse and innovative range of work over her seven-decade-long career. The first major retrospective in the United States in more than 35 years, this exhibition brings together nearly 200 of her insightful portraits, elegant flower and plant studies, poignant street pictures, and groundbreaking nudes in a visual celebration of Cunningham's immense contribution to the history of 20th-century photography.
