Excerpts from the NYT article today (10/24/24) on Anastasia's exhibition that just opened at the Met: “Floridas: Anastasia Samoylova and Walker Evans”
"...The Met show establishes Samoylova as only the second woman to present such a sizable photo show at the museum during her lifetime; the last was in 1992 when the Met presented a retrospective of Helen Levitt — a mentee and friend of Evans — who was also relatively unknown then…”
"...Samoylova is also the subject of a show titled “Anastasia Samoylova: Adaptation,” starting Nov. 5 at Saatchi Gallery in London (through Jan. 20). A new monograph with the same title as that show includes essays by Fineman, Sante and Campany.''
