New Documents

New Documents was an influential[1] documentary photography exhibition at Museum of Modern Art, New York, in 1967, curated by John Szarkowski.[2] It presented photographs by Diane Arbus, Lee Friedlander and Garry Winogrand and is said to have "represented a shift in emphasis"[3] and "identified a new direction in photography: pictures that seemed to have a casual, snapshot-like look and subject matter so apparently ordinary that it was hard to categorize".[1]
