This exhibition features photographic portraits of a wide array of photographers, from the nineteenth century to the present. Included are straightforward portraits, performances, masquerades and surrogates. A small grouping of "anti-portraits" made up of passports, driver's licenses, and other identification documents, are lent by local photographers such as Stuart Klipper and Joann Verburg. The exhibition comprises about 65 photographs, drawn primarily from the permanent collection. The subjects include well-known photographers Ansel Adams, Diane Arbus, William Eggleston, Walker Evans, Lee Friedlander, Andre Kertesz, Robert Mapplethorpe, Eadweard Muybridge, Cindy Sherman, Edward Steichen, and Edward Weston. Also included are the contemporary photographers Dag Alveng, Peter Beard, Vance Gellert, Arno Minkkinen and Jan Saudek. Upload your self-portrait or photos of photographers to the MIA's 'Facing the Lens' group on Flickr. Your photos will be featured in the gallery and also on the MIA's Web site. Please include your name, title of photo, and the date the photo was taken.
