Urban renewal transformed American cities in the 1960s and 1970s, and many prominent photographers documented those changes. The University Art Museum's special exhibition, “The City Lost and Found: Capturing New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles, 1960–1980,” explores the cinematic responses and photographic art that characterized urban renewal and popular media in New York City, Chicago and Los Angeles during this tumultuous time. The exhibition is a collaboration between University Art Museum and the Art Institute of Chicago and opened in Princeton on Feb. 21 after being featured at the Art Institute of Chicago. According to the University Art Museum website, this exhibition is the first project to capture an important shift in history through “photographic, cinematic and planning practices” based on evidence from the vibrant “streets, neighborhoods and seminal events in the country’s three largest cities.” In Chicago, the exhibition brought together many mediums of art, including slideshows, photo collages and artist books from over 30 collections across the United States and holdings from the Art Institute itself, according to the Art Institute of Chicagowebpage. At Princeton, the exhibition displays various works of art from the Princeton Library, the University Art Museum and other institutions.

Despite a compelling story and a few standout performances, many elements of the production are patchy.
