The Hulett Collection

The Hulett Collection stands as a distinguished gallery dedicated to celebrating the power and evolution of photography as both a historical document and a contemporary art form. Founded by Tulsa native Michael Hulett, the gallery reflects his decades of expertise and passion for the medium. Hulett’s extensive career, including his tenure as Director of the Peter Fetterman Gallery in Santa Monica where he organized more than 90 exhibitions internationally, shaped his vision for creating a space where photography is honored in all its dimensions.

Located in Tulsa’s historic Cherry Street district, The Hulett Collection offers a refined and intimate atmosphere for collectors, curators, and art lovers. Within its walls, visitors encounter a striking balance between the masters of 20th-century photography and contemporary image-makers redefining the medium today. The gallery’s collection includes works by celebrated figures such as Ansel Adams, Henri Cartier-Bresson, André Kertész, Louis Stettner, and René Groebli, whose iconic images remain cornerstones of photographic history.

Complementing these classical greats are works by contemporary photographers like Sebastião Salgado, Viki Kollerová, Noell Oszvald, Kit Young, and Luigi Vegini. Their contributions bring fresh perspectives, tackling social, environmental, and conceptual themes that resonate strongly with today’s audiences. This thoughtful pairing of past and present emphasizes how photography continues to evolve while retaining its timeless relevance.

The gallery’s exhibitions are carefully curated to highlight not only the artistry of photography but also its power to tell stories, provoke reflection, and inspire dialogue. By presenting established icons alongside emerging talents, The Hulett Collection fosters a rich conversation about the possibilities of photographic expression.

As one of Tulsa’s cultural gems, The Hulett Collection has become a vital destination for those seeking to experience the beauty and depth of fine art photography in a setting that values both history and innovation.
