Bold Expressions: The Collection of Lorlee and Arnold Tenenbaum
Bold Expressions: The Collection of Lorlee and Arnold Tenenbaum celebrates collecting and living with original works of art through a presentation of the collection of the late Lorlee and Arnold Tenenbaum. Remembered for their business acumen, love of community, and generous philanthropic efforts, the Tenenbaums were deeply invested in art and education, which extended to their colossal efforts to raise funds to construct Telfair Museums’ Jepson Center.

This exhibition traces the emergence of photography as a cornerstone modern art practice, following its evolution and many expressive possibilities across the last one hundred years. It will showcase more than 80 masterpiece photographs by some of the medium's key innovators, from Walker Evans and Helen Levitt to Diane Arbus, Andy Warhol, Cindy Sherman, and Mickalene Thomas.
