Exhibition presents rare, powerful photographs from the Library of Congress
The Annenberg Space for Photography, a cultural destination dedicated to exhibiting both digital and print photography, announced its exhibition – Not an Ostrich: And Other Images from America’s Library. The exhibition, running from April 21 through September 9, 2018, is a collection of nearly 500 images – discovered within a collection of more than 14 million pictures – permanently housed in the world’s largest library at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. Put together by the distinguished photography curator Anne Wilkes Tucker, the exhibition features the image entitled “Not an Ostrich” and a large selection of rare and handpicked works from the vaults of the library, many never widely available to the public. Each picture documents a special moment in America’s culture and history. Tucker, named “America’s Best Curator” by TIME, was granted special access
