The second in an ongoing series of photographic exhibitions that focus on the Museum's permanent collection, this installation highlights 29 contemporary photographs acquired during the past five years all on view for the first time.

Oliver Boberg, Sarah Jones, Nikki S. Lee, Loretta Lux, Mark Mann, María Martinez-Canas and Shizuka Yokomizo are just a few of the artists featured. Among the recurring themes that emerge from this selection are portraiture, domestic narratives and experimental practices.

Whether realized in color or in black and white, derived from existing, constructed or digitally enhanced realities, or conceived as a single image or as part of a larger series each of the 29 works in this exhibition provides insight into contemporary artists' fascination with the photographic process as a means of making their visions real.

Many of the works have been purchased with funds generated by the Museum's Photography Committee and by its members. Several of the artists featured in Focus on: New Photography will have work included in Maximum Exposure, the Norton's inaugural Photography Auction on Saturday, April 9, 2005.
