New York, The Museum of Modern Art, Photographs by Callahan and Frank, January – April 1962
This print was included in the 1962 exhibition Photographs by Harry Callahan and Robert Frank at The Museum of Modern Art. Organized by Edward Steichen with the assistance of Grace Mayer, then associate curator, the exhibition juxtaposed the two photographers’ work in a large show featuring more than 200 photographs. Although both photographers had been exhibited at the Museum in three previous group shows, including Family of Man, their 1962 joint exhibition was the most significant and complete showing of their work to date.
