YALE ACQUIRES ADAMS
The Yale University Art Gallery has succeeded in acquiring 1,465 photographic prints by the American landscape photographer Robert Adams, making it the sole owner of Adams’s entire body of work to date.
Under the terms of the purchase, Mr. Adams will give the gallery one print or set of prints of all his future work. At the same time, the gallery has announced plans to organize a touring retrospective of Mr. Adams’s work in the near future.
Know as “The Master Set,” the 15 complete vintage sets, as well as hundreds of prints related to other series, joins work Yale acquired in 2000. Together, the two collections comprise all of the photographer’s prints.
Yale declined to divulge how much it paid for the prints.

Due to hospitalization for an injury to her lower back, Lorraine Hunt Lieberson has had to cancel her appearance with the Met Orchestra at Carnegie Hall on Sunday. Mezzo-soprano Anne Sofie von Otter will replace Ms. Lieberson as soloist in Mahler’s “Das Lied von der Erde.” As a consequence, Ms. von Otter will no longer be appearing with the Met Orchestra on January 30. A replacement has not been announced.
