The Rijksmuseum’s newly renovated Philips Wing opens next month with a photography exhibition of more than 400 images in the Amsterdam museum’s vast collection. Modern Times, which runs through Jan.11, will trace photography’s key developments during the 20th century, including the introduction of color, the growth of documentary and news photography, and photography as a pure art form. Rare photographs by Brassaï, Ed van der Elsken, John Gutmann, Lewis Hine, William Klein, Jacques-Henri Lartigue, Joel Meyerowitz, László Moholy-Nagy, Eadweard Muybridge, Man Ray and W. Eugene Smith will be displayed.
