Looking at Photographs: 100 Pictures from the Collection of the Museum of Modern Art

This publication presents a curated selection of 100 significant photographs from the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York. Curated by John Szarkowski, who served as the director of photography at MoMA for nearly three decades, the book provides an authoritative overview of the institution's photographic holdings. It features a diverse range of works, including documentary photography, portraiture, and avant-garde experimentation. Each photograph is accompanied by critical commentary that contextualizes the images within the broader history of art and photography. The work serves as both a visual catalog of MoMA's collection and an educational guide to understanding the aesthetic and historical significance of individual photographs in the context of modern art.
