Object: Photo : Modern Photographs: the Thomas Walther Collection 1909-1949 by Maria Morris Hambourg, Lee Ann Daffner and Mitra Abbaspour (2015, Hardcover)
In 2001 MoMA acquired more than 300 photographs of this era from the prolific photography collector Thomas Walther, who was born in Berlin and is based in New York City. This shift is especially significant for a study of the period during which photography developed a distinctive formal language.
