Collection: Kingston Photo Collection
Kingston’s time of collection bookends the age of the collection itself, none of the photos older than the 1970s, almost all of them black and white. Yet, many embody some of the same unchanged, familiar photographic rituals of today, including wedding photos, travel albums, and the ubiquitous and earnest class photos children still endure today. The covetous collection, valued at $1.8 million, was gifted to KSC by an anonymous donor and possibly represents the single largest art donation in the college’s history. The comprehensive collection includes over 3,500 photos.
