The collection of Thomas Walther

Article Abstract:

Thomas Walther views his collection of art photographs as resulting from a passionate desire to acquire beautiful objects. Walther tries to express his personality through his collection. The photographs in Walther's collection mostly date from the 1920s and many are European in origin. Walther prefers photographs that are not merely representational but contain an element of abstraction. He regards this abstract quality as the source of the photographs' emotional power.

The collection of Dorothy Norman

Article Abstract:

Dorothy Norman has been collecting the photographs and prints of contemporary artists for many years. Norman has many examples of Alfred Stieglitz's work, with whom she was associated from 1927 until his death. Her close terms with Stieglitz and other artists helped her to obtain much of their work. Norman holds on to art that she finds moving and evocative of delicacy and beauty.
