New Acquisitions: Garry Winogrand's Beautiful Women

American photographer Garry Winogrand is best known for his 35mm candid shots taken on urban streets in the 1950s, 60s, and 70s. During that period, he completed a body of work called "Women are Beautiful" comprising almost one hundred candid images of women in public places that were published in a book of the same title in 1975. Since these works were completed, Winogrand's work has become integral to defining American photography and he has come to hold a central place among the photographers of his generation.

The twelve works in this exhibition were part of a gift of forty-one "Women are Beautiful" photographs generously donated to the Loeb by Richard and Alice Thall with the assistance of Robert Mann.
