Martin Weinstein, a former trial attorney turned photography connoisseur, has given more than 500 photographs to Mia, in addition to numerous prints, paintings, and sculptures. “31 Years: Gifts from Martin Weinstein” celebrates the depth and quality of his decades of art giving.

The photographs on view include a who’s who in the history of photography, from Margaret Bourke-White and Ansel Adams to Robert Mapplethorpe and Alec Soth. Together these pictures highlight many stories—personal, institutional, and historic. One story, outlined in the accompanying catalogue, centers on the late Carroll T. Hartwell (known as Ted), the MIA’s founding photography curator, and his long-standing friendship with Weinstein.
