Peter Fetterman Gallery is thrilled to present “Her: The Great Women Photographers,” a groundbreaking exhibition that celebrates the immense contributions of women to the field of photography. Opened on August 17th, 2024, and running through November 23rd, this exhibition will showcase an extraordinary collection of works by some of the most renowned and influential female photographers in history.
The exhibition brings together a diverse range of photographic styles, themes, and eras, highlighting the profound impact these women have had on the art of photography. From the ethereal and avant-garde images of Lillian Bassman to the poetic and surreal works of Sarah Moon, each piece on display serves as a powerful testament to the unique perspectives and artistic visions of these trailblazing women.
Visitors to the exhibition will have the rare opportunity to view iconic photographs that have shaped the course of photographic history, alongside previously unseen works that offer fresh insights into the creative processes of these artists. The inclusion of pioneering figures such as Julia Margaret Cameron, whose 19th-century portraits revolutionized the genre, and contemporary voices like Anastasia Samoylova, who explores themes of environment and identity, demonstrates the wide-ranging influence of women in photography across time.
The exhibition also honors the contributions of photographers like Ruth Bernhard, known for her masterful use of light and shadow in nude photography, and Berenice Abbott, whose documentary work captured the dynamic energy of New York City in the 1930s. Additionally, the works of photojournalists such as Eve Arnold, who documented intimate moments of history and culture, will be featured, providing a glimpse into the power of photography as a storytelling medium.
“Her: The Great Women Photographers” is not just an exhibition, but a celebration of the artistic achievements of women who have often been overlooked in the male-dominated history of photography. By bringing their work to the forefront, the Peter Fetterman Gallery aims to honor their legacy and inspire future generations of photographers.
The gallery, located in Santa Monica, CA, has long been a champion of fine art photography, and this exhibition is a continuation of its commitment to showcasing the very best in the medium. With its carefully curated selection of photographs, “Her: The Great Women Photographers” promises to be a must-see event for anyone with an appreciation for art, history, and the extraordinary talents of women in photography.
