Eve Arnold: 21 April 1912 – 4 January 2012

It is with great sadness that we have heard of the death of legendary photographer Eve Arnold.

She passed away on 4 January 2012 at the age of 99.

Eve Arnold was a remarkable documentary photographer whose extraordinarily long career produced many memorable photo stories; a result of her empathic and friendly nature, and tenacious work ethic. She had a fruitful relationship with this museum, sitting for a time on its Advisory Board and exhibiting solo shows here on two occasions.

A master of the photo essay, Arnold’s enthusiasm for photography and her adaptability, meant that she excelled in all her work, whether photographing the world’s poor and disenfranchised, or making intimate, behind the scenes portraits of some of Hollywood’s biggest film stars.
