A Baker's Dozen: Selections from the Alexandra R. Marshall Collection

Laurence Miller Gallery Exhibition March 10 - April 30, 2005

A Baker's Dozen
Important Photographs from the Collection of Alexandra R. Marshall

Laurence Miller Gallery is pleased to present thirteen vintage photographs that celebrate the human form from the influential collector Alexandra R. Marshall. This exhibition is the Gallery’s second in an ongoing series that celebrates the personal vision, connoisseurship and collecting acumen of private individuals who helped shape the photography field over the past thirty years.

Alexandra R. Marshall began collecting photographs in 1977. She had a terrific eye informed by great intelligence, a passion for beauty, a delightful sense of humor, and her experience as a fashion model. Her collecting focused on several interconnected themes, including torsos, corsets, mannequins, women and romance. A Baker's Dozen will include works by Julia Margaret Cameron, Man Ray, Bill Brandt, Robert Frank, Andre Kertesz and Tina Modotti, among others.

Without the passion and commitment of collectors such as Alexandra R. Marshall, the field of photographic collecting and appreciation would never have progressed so rapidly.
