Modern Light: Selections from the Jim and Nan Robertson Photography Collection
In the late 1970s, some of the world’s top photographers made their way to a small art gallery in Scottsdale, Ariz.
Luminaries in this field, such as Bill Brandt and Bruce Barnbaum, displayed their work at the Fifth Avenue Gallery of Photography, located in the heart of the city’s art district. Sometimes, they left a few prints behind as a gift to gallery owner Jim Robertson.
“Modern Light” includes photographs by Paul Strand, Bill Brandt, Ruth Bernard, Brett Weston, Cole Weston, Clarence White and Harold Edgerton.
“For middle America, or the South, this is probably one of the best collections I’m aware of,” says Susan Bryant, APSU photography professor and show curator.
