Exhibitions and Collections
The Philadelphia Museum of Art exhibited a mid-career retrospective of Adams's work in 1989. His master sets are held at the Yale University Art Gallery, which organized "The Place We Live," the definitive retrospective exhibition and publication of his work. Two exhibitions of photographs from the "Turning Back" series were held in 2005, one at the Haus der Kunst in Munich, the other at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. In 2008, he was exhibited at the Rencontres d'Arles festival in France.
In 2012, Adams worked with curators at the National Gallery of Art in Washington on selecting 169 prints from his own holdings for the museum to acquire.

“Most of those who make collections of verse or epigram are like men eating cherries or oysters: they choose out the best at first, and end by eating all.”
