Two Artists Capture Florida at the Met
This fall, the Met pairs images of Florida by Walker Evans and Anastasia Samoylova, the first living female photographer with a major show there in
some three decades.
Last month, even with her long lens, Anastasia Samoylova didn’t particularly stand out among the several dozen people who had joined a boat tour of New York, many of whom also had cameras of all shapes and sizes trained on the coastal skyline. While the Metropolitan Museum of Art was too far inland to see from the water, it was looming large for Samoylova, a Russianborn, Miami–based artist, as she talked and took pictures of the cityscape streaming by.
