Contemporary photographic portfolios serve a variety of purposes. Photographers assemble portfolios to represent a particular project and to pair images with text. Publishers work with artists and their estates to represent the arc of a photographer’s career or to explore a significant interest over time. The portfolios in this exhibition, all acquired over the past decade, present a range of approaches to the gathering and grouping of significant images. The artists include Tom Baril, Ralph Gibson, Donna Ferrato, Erica Lennard, Alen MacWeeney, Caleb Cain Marcus, Jill Mathis, and Pete Turner.
Cool and Collected: Portfolios of Photographs from the Museum Collection was organized by the Delaware Art Museum.
This exhibition is made possible, in part, by grants from the Delaware Division of the Arts, a state agency dedicated to nurturing and supporting the arts in Delaware, in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts.
