Robert Mann Gallery

Founded in 1985, Robert Mann Gallery was the first photography and photo-based arts gallery to move to the Chelsea area and remains one of the preeminent in the world. Through a diverse roster that highlights both a prominent group of contemporary photographic artists including Julie Blackmon and Murray Fredericks and an outstanding collection of twentieth century masters like Ansel Adams, Diane Arbus, and Aaron Siskind, our program interrogates the role of photographic medium—to capture or invent, purify or distort, and transgress its own purported limits to take on new identities—and celebrates its unique history.
