The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art’s venerable photography collection has grown noticeably richer with the
donation of more than 100 “rare and precious” photographs from the 19th and 20th centuries by some of the
medium’s most important practitioners.
Collectors Carla Emil, a member of the museum’s board of trustees, and her husband, Rich Silverstein, a San Francisco
advertising executive, have agreed to give the museum works by such seminal 19th century photographers as Eugene
Atget, Julia Margaret Cameron and Lewis Carroll and such 20th century masters as Walker Evans, Robert Frank, Alfred
Steiglitz and Paul Strand.”
