"Black and White: Vintage Prints from the National Geographic Archive" Exhibition
Steven Kasher Gallery
This event has ended.
Steven Kasher Gallery presents the first exhibition and sale of vintage prints from the archives of the National Geographic Society. The exhibition will feature over 150 unique vintage black and white prints representing the earliest days of the Society (founded in 1888) through the 1940s. It will present premier examples of the most aesthetically and historically significant prints in the archive.
The World in Black and White: Vintage Prints from the National Geographic Archive is comprised of sets of photographic prints by over a dozen photographers associated with the Society. Each photographer is represented by 10-15 pictures. Portraits and documents of the photographers will also be presented. The exhibition will include images from several continents and several genres, including exploration, discovery, anthropology, aeronautics, and portraiture. Many of these images have never been published. Many have never been seen outside the National Geographic Image Collection archive, housed in Washington.
