This gift is a transformational addition to the museum’s permanent collection by a world-renowned photographer whose work is in significant museum collections across the world. Davidson is a prolific photographer recognized for his humanistic portrayals of all walks of life. This momentous collection spans Davidson’s career from 1956 to 2008 and includes images from his most well-known series including Circus (1958), Brooklyn Gang (1959), Time of Change (1961-1965), East 100th Street (1970), and Subway (1980). The photographs stand on their own, but will also complement themes and subject matters already evident in Telfair Museums’ permanent collection.
