PHOTOGRAPHY IN MEXICO
from the Collection of SFMOMA
When the San Francisco Museum
of Modern Art closed its doors in
June of 2013 to undergo a three year
expansion project, “SFMOMA on the
go” was launched. The unprecedented
program is aimed at presenting
exhibits throughout California while
the Museum’s expansion is under
way. Photography in Mexico is part
of a statewide tour drawn from
SFMOMA’s internationally acclaimed
photography collection. Since 2013,
Photography in Mexico has traveled to
the Bakersfield Museum of Art and
the Sonoma County Museum. The
Haggin Museum is the tour’s final
venue.
Featuring
approximately
75
photographs, Photography in Mexico
reveals a distinctively rich and diverse
tradition of photography in Mexico.
The show begins with works from the
medium’s first artistic flowering in
the wake of the Mexican Revolution
(1910–20) and goes on to explore the
explosion of the illustrated press
at midcentury, the documentary
investigations of cultural traditions
and urban politics that emerged in
the 1970s and 1980s, and more recent
considerations of urban life and
globalization. As arts and culture flourished in
Mexico after the Revolution, many
European and American artists
were drawn to the country. Among
them were Edward Weston and Tina
Modotti, who arrived in Mexico in
1923. Inspired by what they saw
there, Weston and Modotti in turn
motivated Mexican
photographers
to
pursue the medium’s
artistic possibilities;
their influence helped
provide
Mexican
photographers with
confidence that art
photography was a
viable path. Hence,
the exhibition opens
with
a
selection
of works made in
Mexico by Modotti
and Weston during
the 1920s and 1930s.
One of the Mexican
photographers
encouraged
by
Modotti and Weston
was Manuel Álvarez
Bravo, who went
on to become one of

opportunities to study photography
and to pursue noncommercial projects.
A number of Mexican photographers,
such as Lourdes Grobet, Graciela
Iturbide, Pedro Meyer, and Pablo
Ortiz Monasterio, created extended
documentary series. Iturbide lived
among indigenous people and
recorded the details of their daily
lives; Grobet focused on wrestling and
the cultural concept of the mask; Ortiz
Monasterio captured gritty, dystopian
views of Mexico City.
Since the 1990s, the attention of many
Mexican photographers has turned
away from cultural traditions and rural
landscapes and toward the cities and
suburbs where many Mexicans now
live. The exhibition closes with works
by Alejandro Cartagena, Pablo López
Luz, Daniela Rossell, and Yvonne
Venegas that reflect this interest in the
changing social landscape, looking at
wealth and class, urbanization
and land use, and the effects of the
globalized economy. The exhibition
draws extensively on recent gifts
from Los Angeles collectors Daniel
Greenberg and Susan Steinhauser.
Exhibition texts are presented in
English and Spanish.
Photography in Mexico from
the Collection of SFMOMA
is organized by the San
Francisco Museum of Modern
Art. The exhibition is made
possible by a grant from The
James Irvine Foundation and
by Bank of America.

MUSEUM NEWS
REMEMBERING EDIE JONES
Valuable store volunteer and friend
of the MSA, Edith “Edie” Jones
passed away December 15, 2014.
Edie had been involved with the store
since its early days, some 24 years.
She was well-known in the Museum
and developed a lively reputation. At
times she was a “force to be reckoned
with,” and sometimes “a pistol,” but
all were certain those traits fueled
her work ethic and commitment to
the Museum. Her loyalty was fierce
-- that’s how she operated and that’s
how she got things done. Those who
knew her witnessed her warmth.
Edie’s passion for tradition and by the book approach to her various
positions and undertakings (especially the annual Mad Hatter’s Tea
Party) kept the auxiliary organized and the members on their toes. Few
like her remain and the auxiliary is truly indebted to her.
Museum Store Auxiliary V.P.’s Belen Koch (left) and
Dianne LaRue presented CEO Tod Ruhstaller with
a check at the auxiliary’s February board meeting.
The check was donated from profits earned at the
Museum Store in 2014.

FORTUNES & FAMILY: The Haggin
McKee Legacy, a special exhibition of
photographs, paintings, artifacts and
ephemera, explores the story behind
the founding of one museum by two
families over three generations. It is a
tale of the financial successes rooted in
the economic development of the West,
the lifestyles made possible by such
wealth and the legacy born of one couple’s
willingness to share their fortune with the
people of Stockton. And although both
were drawn to California by the Gold
Rush, the Haggin and McKee families
chose separate paths in a journey that

would eventually bring them together
2,900 miles from the Golden State.
James Ben Ali Haggin, a Kentucky
lawyer, came to California in 1850 and
along with his partner (and brother-inlaw) Lloyd Tevis, settled in San Francisco.
Their business interests were varied and
proved extremely lucrative for both.
They were principal stockholders in some
of the most successful silver, gold and
copper mining operations in the world
and had extensive land holdings of over
2,000,000 acres throughout the West. Louis
Terah Haggin, James’ oldest son, was
also a lawyer. He represented his father
and uncle in many of their enterprises
and shared in their financial success.
This success was reflected in their

lifestyles. Over the decades they owned
homes in California, New York, Kentucky,
Rhode Island, and New Jersey, furnishing
them with antiques, decorative arts and
paintings by American and European artists.
The elder Haggin had two of the largest
thoroughbred horse farms in the world
and was quite well known in racing circles.
The younger Haggin married a brilliant
and talented San Francisco socialite—
Blanche Butterworth—in 1873. Both spoke
fluent French and maintained a residence
in Paris. There they entertained artists,
writers and members of the European
nobility, one of whom married their only
child—Eila—in 1892. Fortunately for our
story, the marriage was not a happy one
and the couple divorced in 1900.
April-June 2015
SPECIAL EXHIBITION
James passed away in 1914, leaving
an estate valued at well over $20,000,000.
Louis—who became a widower the
following year—now managed the family’s
business interests. He and Eila both
resided in New York, and it was there
that Eila met Robert T. McKee, whom
she wed in 1924. McKee was the son of
William Frame McKee, who settled in
Stockton in 1850. The McKees were one
of the wealthier families in town—thanks
to William’s success in business. The
younger McKee studied art in San Francisco
and Europe and eventually settled in
New York where he became a successful
interior designer and socially prominent.
Upon his death in 1929, Louis left almost
all of his $10,000,000 estate to Eila. Aware
of his hometown’s less than successful
efforts to build a history museum, Robert
and Eila decided to offer the San Joaquin
Pioneer and Historical Society $30,000
and 180 paintings from her father’s estate
if they would expand the focus of their
museum to include an art wing named
after her late father. Subsequent gifts of
more paintings followed, establishing the
Museum’s core art collection. In addition,
bequests from both Eila and Robert created
the Museum’s first endowment and the
Robert T. McKee Student Art Exhibition.
Today, as we approach our 85th
anniversary, The Haggin Museum is a
lasting tribute to both the financial success
and generosity of two pioneer California
families.
