国家肖像馆11月14日开幕《影像记忆》：摄影收藏五十周年，逾百件作品含多莉·麦迪逊银版照片
史密森尼学会旗下的美国国家肖像馆（National Portrait Gallery）宣布，展览《影像记忆：国家肖像馆摄影收藏五十年》（Photographic Memory: Fifty Years of Photography at the National Portrait Gallery）将于11月14日在华盛顿特区开幕，纪念该馆摄影收藏创立五十周年；该馆摄影收藏如今已占其总藏品近半数。
据该馆公布的展览预告，展览汇集逾百件作品，时间跨度从银版照相时代直至当下数字时代，呈现摄影肖像的演变。早期展品包括新近入藏的 John Plumbe Jr. 于约1846年为多莉·麦迪逊拍摄的四分之一版银版照片、Alexander Gardner 的林肯「裂版」原作肖像、英国摄影家 Julia Margaret Cameron 的朗费罗肖像，以及 Ida B. Wells-Barnett 与郭昆华等人的罕见橱柜卡照片；20世纪部分则包括 W.E.B. Du Bois 等人的肖像作品。
该馆表示，摄影使许多从未坐下来让人作画或塑像、却塑造了美国历史的人物得以进入馆藏，展览借五十周年之机系统呈现这批收藏。
National Portrait Gallery Opens Photographic Memory on November 14: Fifty Years of Photography, More Than 100 Works Including the Dolley Madison Daguerreotype
The Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C., will open Photographic Memory: Fifty Years of Photography at the National Portrait Gallery on November 14, marking the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of its photographs collection, which now accounts for nearly half of the museum's total holdings.
According to the gallery's exhibition announcement, the show encompasses more than one hundred works, from the daguerreian era to the digital age, exploring the evolution of photographic portraiture. Among the earliest works are the recently acquired quarter-plate daguerreotype of Dolley Madison by John Plumbe Jr., from about 1846; Alexander Gardner's original 'cracked-plate' portrait of Abraham Lincoln; Julia Margaret Cameron's image of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow; and rare cabinet cards of Ida B. Wells-Barnett, by Sallie E. Garrity, and of Ko K'un-hua, by George K. Warren. Twentieth-century portraits include W.E.B. Du Bois, among others.
The gallery notes that photography has expanded its collection to include likenesses of people who shaped the nation's history but never posed for painted or sculpted portraits.
