This exhibition presents a selection of 130 works from the exceptional photography collection donated to IMMA from Dr David Kronn, showcasing his longstanding commitment to building a diverse collection of photographic works for nearly 30 years.

Photography has held a lifelong fascination for Irish-born US-based collector Dr Kronn. A doctor specialising in medical genetics, his attraction to the scientific processes used in photography is not surprising. The donation contains examples of many photographic forms and media, from 19th century Daguerrotypes and albumen prints; the microphotography of Karl Blossfeldt from the 1920s; or pin-hole camera images by Adam Fuss from the 1980s.
