HuffPo: New Winogrand show in SF Brings Previously Unseen Photos To Light



When my teacher and mentor, Garry Winogrand, died at age 56 (gulp—my 56th birthday is coming up next month!) he famously left behind a quarter million images of undeveloped film and unprinted negatives, images he shot but never saw, creating a curating anomaly in the world of photography. Todd Papageorge and MOMA's Jon Szarkowski took a first stab at this monster task, resulting and the book and exhibit Winogrand: Figments From The Real World. Want to buy the book new?

Now, apparently, San Francisco's Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) is taking a stab at it, 25 years later. Erin O'Toole has curated a new retrospective that apparently includes more previously unseen Winogrand photos.

The show will open at SFMOMA on March 9 and after it closes on June 2 it will travel to Washington DC, New York, Paris, and Madrid—and a show catalog with 400 images will accompany the exhibit. You can pre-order Garry Winogrand (San Francisco Museum of Modern Art) from Amazon now for $53.55. It is expected to be published on April 28.
