The ’70s Lens: Reimagining Documentary Photography shows how documentary photography transformed during the 1970s. It includes about 100 works by more than 80 artists. The ʼ70s Lens examines how photographers reinvented documentary photography during this period.

The exhibition includes photographs by Nan Goldin, Sunil Gupta, Mitch Epstein, Anthony Barboza and Helen Levitt (1913-2009). The quality of the prints is superb.
