Real to Real: Photographs from the Traina Collection

Exhibition catalog for the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco

From the FAMSF website:
Presented in four thematic sections, Real to Real: Photographs from the Traina Collection delves into the richness and depth of the Traina collection, positing a playfully unexpected view of the history of photography from the 1950s to the present.
“A photograph is a slippery, ambiguous social construct,” curator Julian Cox comments, “and it can convey much more than the story it may seem to tell. The Traina collection traffics in this inbuilt ambiguity and unleashes the viewer on a visual and sensory odyssey that has no fixed result.” Presenting very different perspectives and voices, Real to Real: Photographs from the Traina Collection offers visitors the unique opportunity to experience the dynamic and expressive nature of this privately held collection.
