Williams College Museum of Art
Presents From the Collection: New York, New York
From the Collection: New York, New York will open to the
public on February 23, 2002 at the Williams College
Museum of Art (WCMA). This exhibition will include more
than 50 photographs, drawings, and prints, all images of
New York City, from WCMA’s permanent collection.
This collection of diverse works, united by their setting,
features photographs by Louis Faurer, Alfred Stieglitz,
Aaron Siskind, and Garry Winogrand. Prints include works
by John Sloan, Everett Shinn, Isabel Bishop, and Reginald
Marsh. Also included will be several works on paper by
Maurice and Charles Prendergast. These artists all worked
in New York between the late 19th century and the last
decades of the 20th, and they all attempted to capture
the unique character of the city.
Photographs comprise the majority of works on display in
this exhibition. They are largely candid shots taken against
the backdrop of New York’s streets and buildings.
Like Garry Winogrand, Aaron Siskind was a native New
Yorker, who was born in 1903 to a Ukrainian immigrant
family. His best known work was a group of photographs
called 'Harlem Document,' some of which are featured in
From the Collection: New York, New York. Louis Faurer
was born in 1916 and moved to New York in 1937.
Influenced by Walker Evans, Faurer sought to capture
informal and unposed urban scenes.
From the Collection: New York, New York was organized
by Marion Goethals, Deputy Director and Director of
Programs at WCMA, and Catherine Malone, Williams
Graduate Program in Art History ’03.
A portion of the museum’s general operating funds for this
fiscal year has been provided through grants from the
Institute of Museum and Library Services, a Federal agency
that fosters innovation, leadership, and a lifetime of
learning, and from the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a
state agency.
Opening February 23, 2002
The Williams College Museum of Art is open
Tuesday through Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and
