In 2014, the Smart Museum of Art at the University of Chicago
received a generous gift from collectors Lester and Betty Guttman:
830 photographs, created by a total of 414 artists, that cover a
time period stretching all the way from the early 1800s into our
modern moment. This richly illustrated volume, which accompanies an
exhibition at the Smart Museum of Art, offers both an intriguing
overview of the collection and, with it, a tour through the very
history of photography itself. There Was a Whole Collection Made
includes an extensive timeline on the medium's evolution that notes
important dates, exhibitions, and texts. Artists and scholars alike
contribute personal reflections on and interpretations of the
Guttmans' photographs, which include images by such artists as
William Henry Fox Talbot, Man Ray, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, and Carrie
Mae Weems. A colorful introduction to a key visual resource, There
Was a Whole Collection Made crosses time periods and genres to
revel in the enduring power of the camera lens.
