Are there other photographers, contemporary photographers, who approach concepts of time in their work like JoAnn?
In JoAnns work there is this notion of the expansion of time. Her images describe a tension in time. Few photographers have done this. I think JoAnns work shows this possibility, this possibility of deciphering time. Maybe Philip-Lorca diCorcia. But he has taken it to the extreme, to the point that his images are very dramatic and cinematic. The light is all artificial. Was organizing a one-person show of JoAnns work a risk, as it is not widely known? No. It was not a risk. In fact, just the opposite. John [Szarkowski] and I had always admired her work we had been buying it for the collection for more than twenty years. We are talking about a photographer with more than thirty years of experience. I felt it was time to do the work justice. There was no book. There was no major show. Yet, her work is unique. It was important to flesh the work out. To give it justification. No, this was not a risk. I was keenly interested in the work. I have been at MoMA for more than one-half of my life
