"Where the Girls Are: Photographs by Women in the Permanent Collection"
1999-07-25 until 1999-11-07
Detriot Institute of Art
Detroit, MI, USA United States of America

Since the invention of photography in the mid-nineteenth century, women have been active in the medium’s development as a visual art, although photographic and art histories often dismiss or obscure their contributions.

This exhibition examines the enduring presence of women throughout the history of photography with a survey from the museum’s photograph collection that ranges from the 19th century through the present day. Over ninety photographs by more than fifty women are in the exhibition which includes documentary photographs, photojournalism, portraiture, still life, self-portraiture, landscape, and digital imagery. Featured are mid-to late nineteenth-century photographs by Julia Margaret Cameron and Gertrude Käsebier. Early 20th-century works by Berenice Abbott, Claude Cahun, Imogen Cunningham, and Tina Modotti; mid-century documentary photographs of Dorothea Lange and Margaret Bourke-White; and the mid-to late 20th-century work of Diane Arbus, Kiki Smith, Carrie Mae Weems, and Laurie Simmons, among many others.
