For nearly 30 years Arthur J. Goodwin (1926–2004) passionately collected photographs that together reflect the range and diversity of contemporary photography. His collection is substantial, embracing everything from the lyrical photographs of Ruth Bernhard and Keith Carter to the documentary images of Mary Ellen Mark and Sebastião Salgado. The San Jose Museum of Art was extremely fortunate to acquire the Arthur J. Goodwin collection. This exhibition was presented in honor of Goodwin’s strong support of SJMA, its exhibitions, and its permanent collection, and the images included in this show represented only a fraction of his generous bequest.
