Nancy Lee Katz: A Private Pantheon explores the artist’s decades-long effort to photograph artists, writers, musicians, and thinkers she admired. Created in the intimate environments of personal studios and workplaces, these portraits look behind public accolades to reveal a quiet, private presence. Unfolding in two parts (fall and spring), the exhibition presents, for the first time, the entirety of Katz’s Pantheon.

Also on view: An Archive of Archives: Roman Vishniac’s Exhibition History | New York, 1971-72 and Time Capsules: Exploring the Permanent Collection.
