Joel Meyerowitz is renowned for his fundamental role in the establishment of color photography as a fine art. His work has appeared in over 350 exhibitions in museums and galleries around the world and has impacted and influenced countless artists. The Tate exhibition and the new book pair Meyerowitz’s color work with his black and white images created moments apart with two different cameras. Those pairings gave Meyerowitz the idea for his fifth exhibition at Howard Greenberg Gallery. Joel Meyerowitz: Conversations focuses on how specific color images in juxtaposition speak to each other and give added meaning for contemplation, both engaging the viewer in the act of looking and offering a challenging invitation to decipher the connections.

Whether comparing and contrasting the studios of Cézanne and Morandi, the camel coats and the steam rising in New York City with the haze amidst the trees in Yosemite National Park, the summertime Americana of flags and flowers on Cape Cod, or the languid pulchritude of Florida, Meyerowitz surveys ten pairs of related photographs, pointing out relationships, sometimes subtle, that exist in subject, tone, and color.

Marilyn Monroe: A Silent Life

May 30, 2026 – Sep 05, 2026

Peter Fetterman Gallery
Los Angeles, CA, United States

Marilyn Monroe: A Silent Life gathers the many gazes that made Marilyn Monroe into a cultural figure, showing how performance and intimacy coexisted in her image. At Peter Fetterman Gallery, photographs by Eve Arnold, Henri Cartier‑Bresson, Philippe Halsman, Bert Stern, Douglas Kirkland, and others form a chorus of perspectives—studio compositions, candid frames, publicity stills—that together trace the work of self‑making and the moments when that work slipped into vulnerability.

Daido Moriyama: The Hunter

Jun 06, 2026 – Sep 05, 2026

Peter Fetterman Gallery
Los Angeles, CA, United States

Daido Moriyama: The Hunter gathers images that read like footsteps through a city at fever pitch, a body of work that treats street photography as a practice of collision rather than calm observation. Moriyama’s pictures operate by impulse: a flicker of light, a passing shoulder, a neon sign shorn of context—moments seized in grain and blur that refuse the tidy clarity of documentary realism. What remains is a residue of encounter, a texture of presence that feels more like memory than reportage

Edward Steichen and the Garden

Mar 27, 2026 – Sep 06, 2026

George Eastman Museum
Rochester, NY, United States

Edward Steichen once remarked, “I claim that the flower is a work of art,” a declaration that reflected not only his mastery of photography but his lifelong devotion to the natural world. Across seven decades, Steichen shaped modern photography through innovation and vision, yet a quieter part of his life unfolded in the soil of his gardens. There, he cultivated plants with the same attentiveness he brought to the darkroom, finding in nature a source of renewal and an essential companion to his

Winchester, MA, United States

2026 Handmade Photobook Exhibition celebrates the tactile intelligence of books where photography and craft meet to form intimate narratives. At the Griffin Museum of Photography, the show gathers handmade volumes that refuse the instant swipe of the screen and insist on slow looking: turn a page, feel a paper’s tooth, register a binding’s rhythm, and the work reveals itself not only as image but as object.

Cara Romero’s Panûpünüwügai at MOCA Jacksonville presents a decade of photographs that place Indigenous life at the center of the frame.

All About Photo Showroom

Ogden Museum of Southern Art
New Orleans, LA, United States

From the earliest civilizations, portraiture has stood as one of art’s most enduring traditions. Originating in painting and sculpture, it sought to render the human form with realism and dignity, preserving individuals across time. For centuries, portraits were symbols of power and privilege, their creation limited to the wealthy who commissioned likenesses as affirmations of prestige, lineage, and influence. The invention of photography transformed this tradition, giving rise to a new, democra

Studio Museum in Harlem
New York, NY, United States

From Now: A Collection in Context at the Studio Museum in Harlem turns the museum’s collection into a living installation, with works placed in conversation across the building and updated through a shifting sequence of rotations. On view through August 16, 2026, the exhibition draws entirely from the museum’s holdings and uses that framework to trace recurring themes in art by artists of African descent across generations.

Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit

Photographic Center Northwest
Seattle, WA, United States

Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit at Photographic Center Northwest takes the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence as a starting point, but the exhibition does not treat the occasion as a simple celebration.

Main Street: The Lost Dream of Rt. 66, Photographs by Edward Keating

May 16, 2026 – Aug 16, 2026

AMoA - Amarillo Museum of Art
Amarillo, TX, United States

Main Street: The Lost Dream of Rt. 66, Photographs by Edward Keating traces the long, weathered heartbeat of an American highway whose glamour and promise have been quietly eroded by time. Keating’s eleven-year engagement with Route 66 yields images that read as both reportage and elegy: neon signs bowed by rust, motels with vacant porches, mechanics bent over tired engines, and faces that carry small, stubborn stories of endurance. The road appears here less as movement than as accumulation—of

Jul 18, 2026 – Aug 15, 2026

Night Gallery
Los Angeles, CA, United States

Tyler Matthew Oyer: Portraits 2019–2026 at Night Gallery turns the portrait into an environment. Opening July 18 and running through August 15, 2026, the installation gathers 360 small photographs from Oyer’s archive and wraps them around the gallery in a continuous band, making the room itself part of the work. The effect changes with distance. From afar, the installation reads as a single, measured line, almost like a visual score running across the walls. Up close, it becomes a densely layere

The images carry the polish of fashion, but they also push a

Bruce Silverstein Gallery
New York, NY, United States

Frank Paulin: Unseen Color, 1956 - 2008 brings to light a body of color work that remained largely hidden for decades, even as Paulin built a reputation for his black-and-white street photographs of New York.

Fraenkel Gallery
San Francisco, CA, United States

At Fraenkel Gallery, Slice of the Pie brings together fourteen Bay Area galleries in a collaborative exhibition that maps a local art scene shaped as much by resilience as by experimentation.

Rather than offering a single curatorial thesis, the exhibition operates

Robert Mann Gallery

On view from July 7 to August 15, 2026, the exhibition takes its cue from the gallery’s 2021 show How She Sees, but updates the frame for a different moment and a different set of images. The new installation is less about retrospective homage than about ho

Georges Rousse: Quiet Spaces

Jun 13, 2026 – Aug 14, 2026

Lehmann Maupin New York
New York, NY, United States

At Lehmann Maupin in New York, Alex Prager: Matinee presents a concise yet tightly constructed group of new photographs that return to Los Angeles as both setting and psychological terrain. Comprising four large-scale works, the exhibition distills Prager’s long-standing interest in the mechanics of image-making, where staged scenes operate less as narratives than as fragments of unstable memory. The city appears not as a fixed geography, but as a shifting construct shaped by cinema, literature

BAXTER ST at the Camera Club of New York
New York, NY, United States

The work centers on the body not simply as subject matter, but as a contested site where identity, violence

America The Beautiful

May 08, 2026 – Aug 09, 2026

Monroe Gallery of Photography

America The Beautiful at Monroe Gallery of Photography gathers more than forty photographs that examine the United States as a place of ideal, contradiction, and unfinished promise. The exhibition arrives at a moment when the country prepares to mark 250 years since the Declaration of Independence, yet the images refuse any simple celebration. Instead, they look closely at the tensions that shape American life: civic ritual and social conflict, public memory and private resilience, freedom and i

Filter Photo

The Vandals

Jun 24, 2026 – Aug 08, 2026

Gladstone Gallery New York 24th Street
New York, NY, United States

Running from June 24 to August 8, 2026, the group exhibition brings together more than thirty artists around a question that has unsettled writers, collectors and viewers for generations. Inspired by Edith Wharton’s The House of the Dead Hand and Honoré de Balzac’s The Unknown Masterpiece, the show treats the hidden artwork as a charged objec

The exhibition turns the city into both setting and subject, with photographs made overnight across all five boroughs during 2025. Shot between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m., the series uses slow shutter, long lens and radio flash to pull bodies, streets and light into the same frame. McGinley’s New York appears at once familiar and altered: fire h
