''The Times Remembered'' at Tamsen Munger Gallery

Bits of history are captured in "The Times Remembered," an exhibition of memorable photographs from the New Your Times Photo Archives - from the Wright Brothers first flight to the Hindenberg exploding to rounding up wild horses in California in 1930 - opening at Tamsen Munger Gallery, opening Friday, June 6th 2003 and running through Saturday, July 12th 2003. Works by major photographers Alfred Stieglitz, Edward S. Curtis, Berenie Abbott and Andreas Feininger are included in the exhibit. Most of the photographs come from the vast picture library of the New York Times, the repository for more than seven-million prints and negatives. Other significant archives are represented as well, including George Eastman House, Edward S. Curtis Archives, Hulton getty, Bettmann/Corbis, The New-York Historical Society and the Museum of the City of New York. The photos dramatize the power of the image to delight, shock, inspire and inform. Lodged in our collective memories, they remind us how profoundly photography has shaped our perceptions, and how important it can be to remember.

Iconic images capturing history as it unfolded in more than a century of daily chronicling appear in the exhibition: the changing face of America and the world due to advances in transportation, business, and technology; Sports figures and sports highlights; personalities and newsmakers, events both joyful and devastating. Among the images:

 

  • Abraham Lincoln outside the tents at Antietem camp battle site, 1852
  • Vestiges of a disappearing Native American culture theatrically yet poignantly recorded by Edward S. Curtis at the beginning of the 20th century
  • Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, Albert Einstein, and LBJ, all in unposed moments
  • Jackie Robinson as he steals home plate at Ebbets Field, 1952
  • The Wright Brothers during their historic first flight over Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, 1903
  • Stages of construction of the 984-foot Eiffel Tower, from 1887 to 1889
  • Louis Armstrong playing his trumpet for his wife in front of the Pyramids at Giza, 1961
