Now is Then: Personal Photography at The Newark Museum
Nearly 200 personal photographs are on display at The Newark Museum’s new exhibition, Now is Then: Snapshots from the Maresca Collection. The images are from a collection of over 500 dating from the 1920s to the 1960s–the “golden age” of snapshot photography.
Guest curator Marvin Heiferman, who has organized exhibitions for The Museum of Modern Art, The Whitney Museum of American Art, The New Museum, the International Center of Photography, Exit Art and
P.S. 1, explains that the Now is Then exhibition “invites visitors to consider snapshots not as simple or inconsequential little pictures but as compelling and complex cultural artifacts.”
In addition to the vintage photographs, the exhibition shows a continually changing presentation of digital photographs submitted by the public. You may submit up to 10 personal digital photographs for inclusion into the exhibition by visiting The Newark Museum’s website.
