Walker Evans – A Life's Work encompasses more than 200 original prints
spanning from 1928 to 1974. Along with many of his most iconic images, the exhibition also includes rarely-seen photographs such as portraits of farming families, abandoned houses or deserted factory buildings.
The final section of the exhibition contains colour polaroids, whose concisely framed, innovative visual style has influenced, even liberated, subsequent generations of photographers.
