Fraenkel Gallery is an independent photography gallery in San Francisco that holds exhibitions open to the public and sells the work of a roster of photographers. It was founded by Jeffrey Fraenkel in 1979 and has three exhibition spaces at 49 Geary Street. The gallery also publishes photography books, including those to accompany its exhibitions and to coincide with its anniversaries. Maria Homburg, curator of photography at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, has said "As a New Yorker, I never come to the West Coast without going to the Fraenkel Gallery () Amongst professionals in the field, we really count on Jeffrey and Frish, on their expertise and imagination and enterprise to keep finding and preserving the very best."〔 ==History== Jeffrey Fraenkel opened Fraenkel Gallery on 11 September 1979 at 55 Grant Avenue, San Francisco, with photographs of California and Oregon by Carleton Watkins, a naturalist photographer from the 1860s. The 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake caused the gallery at Grant Avenue to close, shortly after Fraenkel and business partner Frish Brandt had invested $300,000 into it.〔 The earthquake also destroyed the spaces occupied by other galleries around Union Square and a number of them, including Fraenkel Gallery, migrated to 49 Geary Street. Frish Brandt joined Fraenkel Gallery in 1985〔 as either director or co-owner. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fraenkel Gallery」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
