The works will be amassed from a number of institutions, private collections, and the Time/LIFE Picture Collection.

Contemporary artists represented include Tina Barney, Nan Goldin, Sally Mann, Larry Sultan, Tatsumi Orimoto, and Nicholas Nixon, while selections from the Time/LIFE collection include the work of legends such as Alfred Eisenstadt, Gordon Parks and W.
