ITHACA, N.Y.- The Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art at Cornell University presents the exhibit Innovation/Imagination: Fifty Years of Polaroid Photography through October 22. In 1947, Edwin Land introduced the instant photograph, and the following year, he hired Ansel Adams as a consultant to test the cameras and films being created. More photographers joined the effort in the coming decades, and it is a tradition that continues at Polaroid to this day, in order to insure that the products meet the needs of artists. It is a true testament to collaboration between science, technology, and art. This exhibition surveys the historic Polaroid collection and includes the work of over fifty masters, from Adams, Minor White, and Robert Frank, to contemporary artists such as Christian Boltanski, Chuck Close, David Hockney, Lucas Samaras, Andy Warhol, Carrie Mae Weems, and William Wegman. This exhibition was coordinated by the Photographic Resource Center at Boston University, originally organized by the Friends of Photography, San Francisco, with national sponsorship provided by Calumet Photographic.
