MoMA’s Photography Collection

The Museum of Modern Art has over 300 pieces from ther photography collection online; I have no idea what factors went into deciding what made it to the site, but it’s a curious curation. (Friedlander, Sherman, and Nixon are represented by dozens of photographs, while countless of photo giants [Paul Strand, William Eggleston] are absent entirely.) It’s not meant to be a history course or a “best of” the collection, though (it does beg the question of what it is supposed to represent), and there are some terrific photos on there, including a handful of great ones I had never seen before.
