Companion to the Robert and Kerstin Adams Photography Collection at the Denver Art Museum

This publication highlights photographs given by Robert and Kerstin Adams to the Denver Art Museum. Throughout his own career, Robert Adams has documented and explored the complexities of the American West. He and his wife, Kerstin, began collecting photographs by others—from the early 1900s to today—that testify to lifelong interests, friendships, and unexpected surprises. Essays by museum staff and photographers represented in the collection accompany each photograph and explore moments of familiarity, humor, masterful skill, and awe.Contributions by Robert Adams, Linda Gammell, Frank Gohlke, Edward Ranney, Kimberly Roberts, and Terri Weifenbach.
