Abstract:
In 2003, the North Carolina Museum of Art, in recognition of the importance of photography in contemporary art and of the medium's strength among North Carolina's photographers, created a new collection. The collection now has 105 works by ten photographers who live and work in the state. The works cover a variety of subject matter, including landscapes, portraits, architectural vignettes, and folk life. Among the photographers are Elizabeth Matheson, Caroline Vaughan, and Bill Bamberger.
