Exhibition: Mike Disfarmer in "Disfarmer: The Vintage Prints" at Fotografiemuseum Amsterdam (FOAM) in Amsterdam

March 18th - June 5th, 2016

Between 1915 and 1959, American studio photographer Mike Disfarmer (1884-1959) made portraits of the residents of Heber Springs, a small town in rural Arkansas. Only after his death did his work become known internationally and regarded as a typical example of classic American portrait photography. Foam is staging a major retrospective, with 182 vintage photographs, including a number of 8 x 10 inch prints that have never been exhibited before.
