Modern Times. Photography in the 20th Century

Running from 1 November 2014 – 11 January 2015, “Modern Times. Photography in the 20th Century” will be the Rijksmuseum’s first ever photography exhibition to showcase the outstanding collection of 20,000 20th-century works that it has amassed since deciding in 1994 to extend its photographic holdings beyond the 19th century.

In a display of more than 400 images, the exhibition will trace photography’s key developments, including the introduction of colour, the growth of documentary and news photography, and photography as a pure art form. A wide-ranging overview, it will also explore photography’s role in fashion and advertising and will feature some amateur works.

Eugene Smith will be displayed as part of the exhibition Modern Times. Photography in the 20th Century.
