Center for Creative Photography (Series), no. 11Description
“During the past year the Center acquired a collection of 132 photographs by Margrethe Mather. This issue of our publication is devoted to a selection of forty-three of those photographs. Margrethe Mather is not widely known, partially because few of her photographs have survived into public collections, and perhaps due to her own lack of interest in seeking acclaim. She is mentioned only briefly by Edward Weston in his daybooks, and even less so by Ben Maddow in Edward Weston: Fifty Years. Yet the photographs published here will reveal that Mather was an artist of unusual innovative strength and aesthetically far ahead of other West Coast practitioners of the medium during her time.” (From the director’s statement for the Center for Creative Photography series, no. 11.)Type
