Equivalent 27C; 1931The photographs in this sale offered as lots 168 through 186 come from the collection of the Amon Carter Museum of American Art and are being sold to benefit acquisition funds. Photography has been a focus of the museum since its founding in 1961 when Dorothea Lange approached the museum about acquiring her portraits of Western painter Charles Russell. Director Mitchell A. Wilder readily made the acquisition; initiating an active engagement with photography and photographers that continues today. In its history; the museum has pursued ambitious exhibition and publication programs; including Marnie Sandweisss groundbreaking Photography in Nineteenth Century America (1991) and John Rohrbachs definitive Color: American Photography Transformed (2013). It was the Amon Carter Museum that commissioned Richard Avedon to produce the series of portraits exhibited and published in 1985 as In the American West. Driven by a succession of dynamic photography curators; the Amon Carter early-on established a robust photography acquisition program; collecting singular masterworks as well as entire archives. The collection now encompasses more than 45;000 exhibition-quality photographs ranging from one of the first photographs created in the United States to works made as recently as this year. It also includes eight artist archives including those of Laura Gilpin; Carlotta Corpron; Eliot Porter; and Karl Struss that allow scholars opportunities to delve deeply into the working methods of these seminal photographers.
