The Target Collection of American Photography

Info

Begun with a visionary corporate gift in 1976, the Target Collection of American Photography comprises more than 400 works of art, with significant images by artists whose works are considered the basis of the American photographic tradition, such as Imogen Cunningham, Robert Frank, Dorothea Lange, Paul Outerbridge, Joel Sternfeld, Alfred Stieglitz, Paul Strand, James Van Der Zee, William Wegman, and Edward Weston. In addition to documenting important moments in American history, the collection demonstrates a variety of approaches to the medium by artists whose perspectives have affected contemporary photographic practice.
