Collecting Ansel Adams

Celebrated for his majestic photographs of nature and the landscape, Ansel Adams' oeuvre is likely known to more people than the work of any other American photographer. As early as 1922, Adams was exhibiting and selling his photographs of the Yosemite Valley and he would continue to photograph and print until 1978. The purpose of this workshop will be to illustrate the variety of prints produced by Ansel Adams throughout his career and discuss the span of current values of his photographs. Included in the discussion will be the early Parmelian prints, the portfolios, mural prints and the Special Edition Prints for the Ansel Adams Gallery.

Length of presentation: 1hr 15min + time for Q&A

The Nuances of Collecting Photography

In this presentation private photography dealer and fine art appraiser Jennifer Stoots addresses
the prints that were made by some of history’s most formidable photographers for purpose of
illustrating the variety of prints available in the marketplace by these artists and to

select images by the artist(s) is accompanied by a discussion of print vintage, editioning,
annotations, and condition and how all those elements affect value. Additional topics that are
included in the conversation are portfolio prints, Estate prints and resources available.
*Three artists are recommended for each presentation, selected by the hosting venue in
