An incredibly diverse collection of photographs and letters by Weegee has been discovered at a yard sale in Kentucky. A total of 210 black and white prints along with letters and clothes bundled in an zebra-striped trunk were found by two women in 2003 who took them along to a rare documents dealer leading to the announcement this week that the Indianapolis Museum of Art has acquired new work and correspondence by Weegee.
