ART GALLERIES
1. FRAENKEL GALLERY
One of the gallery's first exhibitions was of NASA's lunar photographs, and this set
a tone for what followed. Soon came exhibitions by Eugene Atget, Edward Weston
and Diane Arbus, and later, the Bechers, Adam Fuss, and Sol LeWitt. Projects have
brought together work across all media, juxtaposing photography with painting,
drawing, and sculpture. Other photographers whose work is regularly shown include
Richard Avedon and Man Ray.
