Joyce Olga Evans, B.A., Dip. Soc. Stud., (born 1929, Elsternwick, Australia; lives and works in Toorak, Victoria), Australian photographer, artist, gallery director, curator, art collector, and lecturer. == Church Street Photographic Centre == Joyce Evans is well known in Australian photography. In 1976 Evans opened Church Street Photographic Centre, a specialist photography gallery and bookshop in Church Street, Richmond, Victoria, Vic. It was the first commercial photographic gallery in Melbourne to showcase Australian and International 19th and 20th Century photography.〔McCulloch's Encyclopedia of Australian Art, 2006 ed, 409〕 Within a short period of time, it became one of Australia's most innovative commercial galleries with an international reputation. Joyce Evans exhibited works by such renowned photographers as Berenice Abbott, Eugène Atget, Julia Margaret Cameron, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Max Dupain, Rennie Ellis, Bill Henson, Fiona Hall, Frank Hurley, André Kertész, David Moore, Arnold Newman, Alfred Stieglitz, Paul Strand, Brett Weston, and numerous others.〔Church Street Photographic Centre Archives, 1976–1982〕 The gallery's bookshop stocked an extensive range of local and international books on photography and latest specialist photographic periodicals. It became a source of knowledge for Melburnian photographers and photographic artists, and major supplier of books and magazines to Melbourne's schools, colleges and tertiary institutions. In 1980 her inventory of books and magazines became a foundation for another renowned Melbourne institution, The Printed Image bookshop, which also specialised exclusively in photography. The gallery space was also used for photographic workshops, tutored by such prominent photographers and writers of the era as Pete Turner, editor of ''Creative Camera'', UK; Jean-Marc Lepacheu; John Cato; Ian Cosier; and many others.〔 It also housed a photographic dark room and framing facilities (which were used by artists and photographers, notably by German artist Herbert Zangs during his Australian visit in 1981).〔 Joyce Evans closed the Church Street premises in 1982, and relocated the gallery's collection and inventory to a private studio, from which she continues to operate to this day. In 1978 she was appointed Approved Commonwealth Valuer for Australian and International photography from the 19th Century to the present day for the Australian Government's Cultural Gifts Program. Evans continues acting as a specialist adviser on photography for a number of public institutions and prominent private collectors in Australia. 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「Joyce Evans (photographer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
