YONKERS, NY.- An exhibition featuring the works of some of the most celebrated women photographers will be coming to the Hudson River Museum in its only showing in the New York Metropolitan area. Modern Women / Modern Vision: Photographs from the Bank of America Collection will be on view from January 30–May 10, 2026. This exhibition, loaned through the Bank of America Art in our Communities® program, features nearly 100 images dating from 1905 to 2015, celebrating the contributions of women to the development and evolution of photography. Bank of America’s Art in our Communities® program offers its art collection to communities through curated exhibitions that museums and nonprofit galleries can borrow at no cost.

“The Hudson River Museum is thrilled to present Modern Women / Modern Vision: Photographs from the Bank of America Collection,” said Masha Turchinsky, Director and CEO of the Hudson River Museum. “Women have shaped photography from its earliest days, pioneering movements and styles that continue to influence the art form. This exhibition celebrates their vision and invites all to experience how these artists framed, and continue to define, the modern world through the camera lens.”

“Through our Art in our Communities program, Bank of America provides curated exhibitions from our art collections at no cost, fostering discovery and learning for all,” said José Tavarez, president, Bank of America New York City and Westchester County. “It’s with great pride that we share Modern Women / Modern Vision: Photographs from the Bank of America Collection with the Hudson River Museum, providing visitors a unique view through the lens of women photographers.”

The exhibition is organized into six thematic sections, chronicling the trailblazing technical and artistic contributions of the artists who worked during each era, including: Modernist Innovators, Documentary Photography and the New Deal, The Photo League, Modern Masters, Exploring the Environment, and The Global Contemporary Lens.

Since photography’s inception in 1839, women have stood among its artistic and technological pioneers, at the forefront of every photographic movement and style. Women played an integral role in framing the modern experience through the lens of the camera. From 1900 onward, women negotiated waves of social, political, and economic change, increasingly leveraging photography as a means of creativity, financial independence, and personal freedom. In Modern Women / Modern Vision: Photographs from the Bank of America Collection, celebrated images now familiar to us are placed in historical and thematic contexts, and contemporary works are given new prominence. Diverse in style, tone, and subject, these photographs range from spontaneous to composed, detached to empathetic, monumental to intimate.
