Gallery of Postcards is a collection of works by Walker Evans, one of the most representative American photographers of the 20th century. In the catalog of the retrospective exhibition of Evans organized by John Szarkowski in 1971, poet Walt Whitman wrote the following comment about Evans's photographs: "I do not doubt that the dignity and beauty of the world is hidden in every little thing in it... I do not doubt that there is much more hidden in the common things, the insects, the common people, the slaves, the dwarves, the weeds, the worthless trash than we have ever suspected..." This is a collection of eight images, precisely printed in three colors and printed in postcard size from prints owned by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in the United States, housed in a custom-made solid stainless steel case. The case can be displayed like a desk calendar, and the work is typical of Evans, who loved postcards.
