If in the New York area or planning a trip to the Big Apple, on September 25, the Metropolitan Museum of Art will inaugurate the Joyce and Robert Menschel Hall for Modern Photography, which will feature about 2,000 square feet of exhibit space and high ceilings that can accommodate large shots. This marks the first time since 1960 that a hall has been dedicated to photography alone.
Among the photographers to be featured in Menschel are Thomas Struth, Andreas Gursky, Sigmar Polke, Richard Prince, Cindy Sherman and Thomas Ruff. The first installation, named “Depth of Field,” borrows from the Met’s permanent collection to illuminate photography’s different paths since 1960. Each Menschel exhibit will last six months. Future exhibits will cover landscape and the built environment, the body and photography about photography.
