| 5. |  | Charles Sheeler 1927 Criss-Crossed Conveyors, River Rouge Plant, Ford Motor Company Gelatin silver print 23.5 x 18.8 cm (9 1/4 x 7 3/8 in) Metropolitan Museum of Art Ford Motor Company Collection, Gift of Ford Motor Company and John C. Waddell, 1987 (1987.1100.1) © The Lane Collection Curatorial description A realistic painter as well as a photographer, Sheeler rarely failed to uncover harmonious coherence in the forms of indigeneous American architecture. His series of photographs of the Ford plant near Detroit was commissioned by the automobile company through an advertising agency. Widely reproduced in Europe and America in the 1920s, this commanding image of technological utopia became a monument to the transcendant power of industrial production in the early modern age.

| 6. |  | David Moore 1981 Harbour Bridge steelwork 2, Sydney [100 Photographs, pl. 095] Gelatin silver print David Moore Estate © Courtesy of the David Moore Estate Thirty-five years after he had first recorded the Sydney landmark, Moore returned to the Harbour Bridge with new eyes. Inevitably, I was conscious of Klippel's work when looking at the details of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The forms, structure and textures reminded me of Klippel's use of typewriter parts to make tense, delicate assemblages. Alan Davies, The State Library of NSW This photograph was included in the David Moore 100 Photographs series that toured the State Library of NSW (titled David Moore 100 photographs) in late 2005. The exhibition then travelled to Monash Gallery of Art, Melbourne, in 2006, changing its title to David Moore A Vision, 1927-2003; and then to Bendigo Art Gallery (2006), Shepparton Art Gallery (2006), Albury Regional Art Gallery (2007), Gold Coast City Art Gallery (2007), Wollongong City Gallery (2007), Mildura Arts Centre (2008), and finally to LaTrobe Regional Gallery (2008). A Limited Edition of the series was also produced. |

| 13. |  | Herbert Bayer 1928 Pont Transbordeur, Marseilles Gelatin silver print 25.0 x 17.0 cm (9 13/16 x 6 11/16 ins) Metropolitan Museum of Art Ford Motor Company Collection, Gift of Ford Motor Company and John C. Waddell, 1987, Accession Number: 1987.1100.345, Rights and Reproduction: © 2015 Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York Curatorial description (Accessed: 29 March 2015) Head of the Bauhaus typography and advertising workshop, Herbert Bayer took up the camera about 1925, initially using photography in relation to his design work and later pursuing it for its own sake. In 1928 he traveled to Marseilles, where he photographed the Pont Transbordeur, a steel bridge with a moving "transporter" platform between its two towers that was celebrated, like the Eiffel Tower, as an icon of modern construction. As were a number of other avant-garde photographers, including his Bauhaus colleagues Moholy-Nagy and Florence Henri, Bayer was fascinated by the novel spatial relations of the bridge's crisscrossing steel girders and open spiral staircase. |

Like a number of other avant-garde photographers, including Germaine Krull, Herbert Bayer, and Florence Henri, Moholy-Nagy was fascinated by the dynamic spatial relations of the bridge's crisscrossing steel girders and open spiral staircase. In this photograph, he used the technique of reverse printing to create a bold graphic composition that simultaneously clarifies and transforms the structure of the bridge. |
