In 2011, the Art Institute of Chicago received a gift of 200 photographs from Chicago collector Robert A. Taub. Taub began collecting in the 1960s and the donation-representing the core of his collection- reflects the breadth of the medium with classic works by August Sander, Walker Evans and Ansel Adams, as well as key pieces from artists of the 1970s and 80s including Lee Friedlander, Stephen Shore and Cindy Sherman. The images that were found to be duplicates with prints already in the Art Institute’s collection were never formally accessioned and are instead being sold here by Mr. Taub with proceeds going to an endowed acquisitions fund in memory of his daughter, Amanda Taub Veazie.
