\nThi
 s exhibition chronicles the major technological developments in photograph
 ic processes from the origins of the medium until the advent of digital ph
 otography. Drawn from the Gallery's permanent collection\, the exhibition 
 is organized chronologically and includes some 90 photographs that range f
 rom an early photogenic drawing by William Henry Fox Talbot\, the inventor
  of photography\, to Polaroid prints by Andy Warhol. Superb examples of th
 e major photographic processes\, including salted paper\, albumen\, gelati
 n silver\, and chromogenic prints\, will be on view\, along with examples 
 of photomechanical processes such as photogravure and halftone. The select
 ions in the exhibition will highlight the artistic vitality and technologi
 cal virtuosity of the medium's practitioners and demonstrate the many fact
 ors—not only the choice of process\, but also scale\, tone\, cropping\, 
 enlarging\, and paper selection—that shape the aesthetic quality and mea
 ning of a photograph.
