Preparations for the first
retrospective exhibition in a generation of pioneer photographer Clarence
Hudson White (1871–1925) have inspired an unexpected collaboration between the
Princeton University Art Museum and the Yale Institute for the Preservation of
Cultural Heritage.
Immersed in the real-life setting of the
Princeton University Art Museum, the project drew students, researchers, and
curators from across two universities and from numerous disciplines to analyze
the experimental techniques that took place during the “Pictorialism” period of
the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
