THE HISTORY OF PHOTOGRAPHY The Research Library of the Mack Lee Gallery 2,633 titles in circa 3,140 volumes Lee Gallery Photography Research Library Comprising over 3,100 volumes of monographs, exhibition catalogues and periodicals, the Lee Gallery Photography Research Library provides an overview of the history of photography, with a focus on the nineteenth century, in particular on the first three decades after the invention photography. Strengths of the Lee Library include American, British, and French photography and photographers. The publications on French 19th- century material (numbering well over 100), include many uncommon specialized catalogues from French regional museums and galleries, on the major photographers of the time, such as Eugène Atget, Daguerre, Gustave Le Gray, Charles Marville, Félix Nadar, Charles Nègre, and others. In addition, it is noteworthy that the library includes many small exhibition catalogues, which are often the only publication on specific photographers’ work, providing invaluable research material. The major developments and evolutions in the history of photography are covered, including numerous titles on the pioneers of photography and photographic processes such as daguerreotypes, calotypes, and the invention of negative-positive photography. The Lee Gallery Library has great depth in the Pictorialist Photography aesthetic movement, the Photo- Secession and the circle of Alfred Stieglitz, as evidenced by the numerous titles on American photography of the early 20th-century. This is supplemented by concentrations of books on the photography of the American Civil War and the exploration of the American West. Photojournalism is also well represented, from war documentary to Farm Security Administration and LIFE photography. Importantly, the collection covers 20th century American masters of photography, such as Berenice Abbott, Ansel Adams, Margaret Bourke- White, Bill Brandt, Walker Evans, Robert Frank, Lewis Hine, André Kértesz, Dorothea Lange, Eliot Porter, Aaron Siskind, Eugene Smith, Edward Steichen, Alfred Stieglitz, Paul Strand, and Edward Weston, and also covers contemporary photography and photographers such as Anna & Bernhard Blume, Hans-Peter Feldmann, Roni Horn, Sigmar Polke, Richard Prince, Ed Ruscha, and Cindy Sherman. As well as books, the library also contains rare late 19th century and early 20th century journals such as La Revue de Photographie, The Philadelphia Photographer, Photo-Era, and Die photographische Kunst im Jahre. The Lee Gallery Photography Research Library reflects the interests and activities of Mack Lee, founder of the Lee Gallery. The gallery opened in 1981 and over the decades has built fine photography collections for museums and private collectors. The Lee Gallery joined AIPAD (The Association of International Photography Art Dealers) in 1984 and Mack Lee served on the board of directors for ten years.
