SUMMARY
The MUUS Collection has announced plans to digitize a vast archive of work by renowned US photographer Todd Webb. The collection comprises approximately 15,000 prints and 50,000 negatives, primarily documenting New York and Paris in the post-World War II era. Webb was an advocate of "straight photography," focusing on unmanipulated images captured with a large-format camera. His work also includes documentation of American pioneer trails and portraits of fellow artists. MUUS Collection will exhibit Webb's work alongside Eugène Atget at Paris Photo in November.
