This is an exhibition of photographs from the Private Collection of Fern M. Schad. Mrs. Schad and her late husband Tennyson co-founded LIGHT in 1971 in New York, the first art gallery devoted exclusively to exhibition, promotion and sale of contemporary photography, where Rick Wester formerly worked. With LIGHT Mrs. Schad developed some long standing relationships with the artists she worked with including: Aaron Siskind, Frederick Sommer, Harry Callahan, André Kertész, Emmet Gowin. LIGHT was the reason these photographers are what they are today - modern masters. This exhibition is the first time this group of pictures has been brought together in a public venue. The exhibition runs from September 24th to October 29th. I highly recommend going to see the show

Note for Taylor: This image is by Emmet Gowin called Edith with berry Necklace, 1971. It made me think of your project through its style and tribal feel.
