(American, 1883-1976) Imogen Cunningham was a Northwest-born photographer whose distinguished career spanned nearly 70 years. After taking up photography in 1901 she received a degree in chemistry at the University of Washington and also worked with Edward Curtis. Early examples of Imogen’s work included self-portraits and figurative work between the years of 1910 and 1915, including nudes of her husband on Mt. Rainier – labeled as scandalous by the local newspaper.

Howard Greenberg Gallery | October 8, 2021 - December 23, 2021
NEW YORK CITY—Howard Greenberg Gallery will present the photography exhibition Gordon Parks: A Choice of Weapons from October 8 through December 23 in the new gallery on the 8th floor of the Fuller Building at 41 East 57th Street. One of the world’s leading galleries for classic and modern photography, the Howard Greenberg Gallery is celebrating its 40th anniversary with an exhibition of important work by the renowned photographer and filmmaker Gordon Parks. Through his still images, both candid and staged, the exhibition explores the roots of Parks’ future as a filmmaker.
Parks, who described his camera as his “choice of weapons," was known for his work documenting American life and culture with a focus on social justice, race relations, the civil rights movement, and the African American experience. He was hired as staff photographer for Life magazine in 1948, where over two decades he created some of his most groundbreaking work that cast light on the social and economic impact of poverty, discrimination, and racism.

Marian Goodman Gallery is delighted to announce Francesca Woodman: Alternate Stories, a solo presentation of vintage photographs by Francesca Woodman, many of which have never been seen.
This presentation will be a departure from past exhibitions of the artist’s work, drawing on newly available vintage prints and archival material provided by the Woodman Family Foundation which offer a fresh glimpse into the varied thought processes, interests, and influences that motivated Woodman’s picture-making.
