KANSAS CITY, MO – Homer Page, a brilliant but nearly forgotten photographic talent, is reintroduced to the public when The Photographs of Homer Page: The Guggenheim Year, New York, 1949-50 opened Feb. 14 at The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. The exhibition of rare vintage black-and-white prints, on view through June 7, will focus on the innovative work he produced in New York in 1949 and 1950, funded by a prestigious Guggenheim Fellowship. These works are drawn from a total of about 100 prints by Page in the Museum’s Hallmark Photographic Collection, acquired by the Nelson-Atkins in 2006.
