PORTFOLIO - W. M. Hunt, Collection Dancing Bear, Vernacular images

Also see the linked essay

For thirty years, W. H. Hunt has been building a photography collection that brings together 1,200 works marked by the absence of sight in the photographed subjects. Composed of classical and contemporary works by renowned artists,

as well as documentary images and snapshots by amateur photographers, this collection spans the entire history of the medium, from the daguerreotype to today’s production. The works featured here come from the vernacular section of the collection. This section is central to the collection, according to Hunt, who advocates for full recognition of the value of these images.

COLLECTING PHOTOGRAPHY

CIEL VARIABLE 78 Printemps 2008 | Spring 2008
