150 Years Later: New Photography by Tina Barney, Tim Davis, and Katherine Newbegin

As part of a campus-wide celebration of Vassar’s sesquicentennial anniversary, the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center commissioned three photographers, Tina Barney, Tim Davis, and Katherine Newbegin, to create new work. The resulting photographs focused on the people, environment, and culture of Vassar today in entirely new ways. These new works created for this exhibition uncovered a side of Vassar that is not often seen by the average visitor to campus. Foregoing the typical view of architectural and natural beauty for which the College is known, Barney, Davis, and Newbegin instead focused on the idiosyncratic, the ironic, and the hidden aspects of campus life that lie beneath the surface, piecing together a portrait of Vassar that revealed as much about the artist’s interests as does their subject.

There are works that appeared in this exhibition that were loans to the Loeb and therefore do not appear on this website.
