The Best Photography Gallery in San Francisco
Fraenkel Gallery is a renowned San Francisco photography gallery that has presented over 300 exhibitions exploring photography and its relation to sculpture, drawing, painting, and other arts to date. The gallery was founded by Jeffrey Fraenkel in 1979. At the time, it was focused on the 19th-century California photographs by Carleton Watkins, the work of the American social landscape photographer Lee Friedlander, and NASA’s lunar photographs.
Today, Fraenkel Gallery is one of the most important spaces for photography in San Francisco, representing the work of many prominent photographers and artists. These include Hiroshi Sugimoto, Nicholas Nixon, Richard Misrach, Adam Fuss, Diane Arbus, Richard Learoyd, Katy Grannan, and others. In addition to organizing museum-quality exhibitions, Fraenkel Gallery is known for producing exhibition catalogs and monographs as part of its own publishing program.
It is also worth noting that Fraenkel Gallery maintains long-established relationships with many corporations, private collectors, and museums around the world. Besides, it brings its outstanding collection of photography to some of the most prestigious international art fairs, including Paris Photo and Art Basel.
