The Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden acquired 141 contemporary Chinese photographs, dating from 1993 to 2022, as a gift from collector Larry Warsh.
Notes on verification
Core facts (141 photographs, Chinese contemporary artists, gift from Larry Warsh, Hirshhorn Museum) are confirmed by the museum's own press release and independent outlets. Minor discrepancy exists regarding the exact date range (1993-2022 vs. 1993-2006) attributed to the specific 141-piece gift versus the broader exhibition.
