The exhibition reveals the ways in which appearances, poses and props help define the public perception of an artist and his or her work.
The bulk of the images on view are from two newly acquired portfolios of work by Berenice Abbott and Robert Doisneau, as well as Philippe Halsman and Imogene Coca. Among the artists portrayed are Lucille Ball, Jimmy Durante, Andy Warhol, Andrew Wyeth and Robert Indiana.
