40 Exceptional Photographs

Welcome to our 40th Anniversary Show. This is a selection of 40 personal favorites, both old and new, chosen by the gallery's owner, Ben Breard. He opened the gallery in the fall of 1971, making Afterimage Gallery one of the oldest art galleries in the world devoted exclusively to photography. The gallery began with only area photographers and within two years started exhibiting nationally known people. In 1973, Afterimage Gallery had a large Ansel Adams show of which his famous Moonrise photograph was a prominent part. At the time a 16 x 20 inch print sold for $250.00. Today it would be worth over $50,000.00! Since then the gallery has shown many of the biggest names in the field, like Wynn Bullock, Harry Callahan, Robert Frank, Eliot Porter and Edward Weston. Also over the years the gallery has had a commitment to exhibit lesser known, up-and-coming photographers, and quite a few are in this show. Although Afterimage Gallery has a long history locally, since the late 1990s, it has been a strong presence on the internet. A large percentage of the gallery's sales are from its website which is viewed by a million visitors a year.
