This link was in a sidebar to the article.

So Reproduceable Published: August 25, 2006
The reproductions of Walker Evans photographs that you see here on
newsprint were made from digital scans, in TIFF format, e-mailed to
The New York Times by the UBS Art Gallery, of enlarged ink-jet prints
made recently from digital scans of gelatin silver prints produced
from the artist's original negatives preserved in the Library of Congress.

I found it curious that prints rather than negatives were used as the
source according to this sidebar. I don't know if this applies to the
actual exhibit as well.
