Mitch Epstein's "Family Business" began with a loss. In 1999, a fire destroyed a boarded-up apartment building in downtown Holyoke, Massachusetts, owned by the photographer's father. In its wake, the family made the decision to close Epstein Furniture — the store his grandfather founded in 1911, once the largest furniture and appliance retailer in Western New England.

Epstein had left Holyoke at eighteen and built his life as a photographer in New York. He returned to help, and found himself drawn instead into documenting the unraveling: wandering the emptying warehouses, photographing the leftover lamps and furniture, the accumulated inventory of a business coming to its end.

Over three years, the project grew into a layered body of work — large-format photographs, video, archival material, and Epstein's own writing — that traces not only the store's collapse but his father's real estate dealings and the slow decline of Holyoke itself, a once-thriving industrial city. "Family Business" was published by Steidl in 2003 and won the Kraszna-Krausz Best Photography Book of the Year award the following year.

A meditation on family, memory, and the quiet economics of American decline.

Amy Friend's latest body of work, "Leave a Light On for Me," brings us to the water's edge. Drawing on maritime histories—lighthouses, foghorns, and systems of visual, audible, and luminous signaling—these images consider what it means to reach out to one another across uncertainty.

Storm-tossed seas, drifting fog, lighthouse beams, and S.O.S. signals recur throughout, tracing the fragile threshold between presence and absence, visibility and concealment. Layered photographic processes and hand-worked interventions blur the line between documentation and transformation, letting each image carry traces of here and there, then and now. The work speaks to an enduring human desire to make ourselves known—to send a signal into the unknown and trust that someone, somewhere, will answer.

"To photograph is to hold one's breath, when all faculties converge to capture fleeting reality. It's at that precise moment that mastering an image becomes a great physical and intellectual joy." - Henri Cartier-Bresson

On his birthday, we celebrate Henri Cartier-Bresson (born August 22, 1908), the pioneering French photographer whose vision reshaped street photography and photojournalism.

Initially drawn to painting, Cartier-Bresson studied under André Lhote and absorbed the influence of the Surrealist and Cubist movements. With a Leica in hand, he developed his enduring concept of "the decisive moment," capturing fleeting, harmonious scenes with singular precision, as in his iconic "Behind the Gare Saint-Lazare" (1932).

A co-founder of Magnum Photos in 1947, he spent his career traveling the world, documenting historic events and notable figures. His photographs reside in the collections of nearly every major museum, and the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson, dedicated to his archives, opened in Paris in 2003.

Available through our Private Collections Salon & Sale are two works by Ansel Adams and two by Robert Adams.

Beyond their shared last name, both photographers share a deep connection and fascination with the American West.

While Ansel’s dramatic images celebrate the grandeur of places like Yosemite, the High Sierra, and the Grand Canyon, Robert’s quietly powerful photographs reveal the beauty and fragility of a landscape increasingly shaped by human intervention.

In different ways, both artists encouraged a deeper appreciation for the American landscape and the need to protect it.

Congratulations to gallery artist , selected for the second cohort of ARTS Southeast's new Ossabaw Island Residency. The residency's artists were invited to apply from a pool of around 70 applicants nominated by an advisory committee, with a smaller selection committee assembling a deliberately multidisciplinary group.

The Ossabaw Island Residency revives a legendary program that ran on Georgia's third-largest barrier island from 1961 to 1982. Founded by island co-owners Eleanor "Sandy" Torrey West and Clifford B. West, the Ossabaw Island Project hosted artists including Agnes Denes, Amy Sillman, Anne Truitt, and Harry Bertoia; writers Margaret Atwood, Annie Dillard, and Ralph Ellison; and composer Samuel Barber.

Lotte Jacobi (born August 17, 1896) took her first photograph at age 12 and went on to become one of Berlin's most sought-after portraitists. Over her lifetime she photographed some of the century's most prominent figures, among them Albert Einstein, Eleanor Roosevelt, and J.D. Salinger, whose portrait appeared on the first-edition back cover of "The Catcher in the Rye."

A fourth-generation photographer, she managed her father's Berlin studio from 1927 to 1935. Alongside her portrait work, she photographed dance and theater; in 1937, the Brooklyn Museum presented a number of these images in the exhibition "Dance Photographs." After fleeing N**i Germany in 1935, Jacobi lost most of her early work. Rebuilding her career in New York, she founded a new studio with her sister just three weeks after arriving in the city. In the 1940s, she developed her camera-less "Photogenics" series—abstract studies of light and texture later shown at the Museum of Modern Art.

These two works, available now from our Private Collections Salon & Sale, capture both sides of Jacobi's practice: the portraitist and the abstractionist.

Horst P. Horst (born August 14, 1906) was a pioneer of fashion photography whose sixty-year career produced more than 90 covers for Vogue and defined the golden age of glamour in the 1930s. He originally studied architecture before turning to photography, apprenticing under George Hoyningen-Huene, then Vogue's lead fashion photographer. Those architectural principles would later shape how he built his images—portrait sessions that stretched for days as he sculpted the perfect balance of light and shadow. His influence extends across generations, inspiring photographers such as Irving Penn and Richard Avedon, to Madonna's "Vogue" music video paying homage to his signature style. Today his photographs are held in collections around the world, including the Victoria and Albert Museum, the National Portrait Gallery in London, the Fortuny Palace in Venice, and the Louvre.

During the 1980s, Horst revisited negatives from across his career, producing new platinum-palladium prints that distilled his personal canon for collectors and institutions. "Study in Ivory" (1982) is one of these prints—available and on view now in our Private Collections Salon & Sale.

Available from our Private Collections Salon & Sale, this exceptional group comprises the first 14 photographs from Nicholas Nixon’s best-known body of work, "The Brown Sisters"—an annual portrait of his wife, Bebe Brown Nixon, and her three sisters, Heather, Mimi, and Laurie. Beginning in 1975, Nixon photographed the women every year, always in the same order and looking directly at the camera. In 1989, our collector acquired what was then the complete set of the series.

"The Brown Sisters" has become one of the landmark projects in the history of photography, transforming a simple family portrait into a profound meditation on time, aging, and family relationships. Because the composition remains purposely consistent from year to year, the changes become the subject: faces, hairstyles, clothing, posture, and the evolving intimacy between the sisters.

Remarkably, Nixon had made only two successful photographs from the series when John Szarkowski, then Director of Photography at The Museum of Modern Art, included both in Nixon’s 1976 solo exhibition. The significance of the project was recognized almost immediately, for its unique ability to make the passage of time visible.
