New Photographs Available Online

ARTstor will collaborate with the George Eastman House to add approximately 13,000 images to the ARTstor digital library. The world’s oldest museum of photography is currently represented in ARTstor by 4,875 examples of photographs, from early daguerreotypes to contemporary prints. The additional images will significantly increase the number of photographs available to ARTstor users for teaching and scholarship.

Over 4000 images are already available. Visit ARTstor through the library's website. In the section under "browse collection," click on "ARTstor Collections," then scroll down to George Eastman House Collection.

More Contemporary Art on ArtStor

ARTstor is digitizing and will distribute more than 100,000 images from Larry Qualls' unique archive of contemporary art images. For nearly three decades, Larry Qualls has been systematically documenting contemporary art exhibitions at galleries and other exhibition spaces throughout New York City and elsewhere. His slides have been and remain an indispensable source — indeed virtually the only reliable source — of contemporary art images for art historians teaching modern and contemporary art. The archive represents an encyclopedic overview of New York City contemporary art exhibitions in the last quarter of the 20th century and the early years of the 21st, documenting prominent, emerging, and aspiring artists — the entire rich fabric of the contemporary art world.

Images include work by Richard Artschwager, Cecily Brown, Gregory Crewdson, John Currin, Mark Di Suvero, Helen Frankenthaler, Philip Guston, Tim Hawkinson, David Hockney, Agnes Martin, Claes Oldenburg, Tony Oursler, Richard Prince, Gerhard Richter, Susan Rothenberg, Ed Ruscha, Julian Schnabel, Carolee Schneemann, Richard Serra, William Wegman, Rachel Whiteread, and Andrea Zittel

Theater Images

ArtStor has added over 2000 new images of historic scenes to its collection. The contribution is from Northern Illinois University/ Lyric Opera of Chicago Historical Scene Collection and comprises virtually the entire repertoire of operas produced by Oscar Hammerstein’s Manhattan Opera Company. This online collection also documents the development of opera theater in Chicago, with examples of theatrical scenery from the Chicago Civic Opera Company, the Lyric Opera of Chicago, the Chicago Grand Opera Company, and the Chicago Opera Association.
