  1. "The #NationalGallery of #Art in #Washington received a “comprehensive gift” of 1,261 #photographs by #MitchEpstein, whom the #museum called “one of the most important living #American #photographers,” it said last month.

    #Epstein’s #photos “examine American communities and the issues that affect them, from #economicchange to #environmentalcrisis to #civicprotest, as well as probing more #personalnarratives, including his #identity as the grandson of Eastern #European #immigrants and life in his adopted hometown of #NewYorkCity,” the museum said.

    The donation from Epstein and his wife, #SusanBell, spans the septuagenarian artist’s “full career” and “transforming the National Gallery’s contemporary #photography holdings and establishing the most significant institutional collection of the #artist’s work,” according to the museum."
