    Gay Block: About Love        

    29 June - 13 July, 2024
    About Love presents a selection of fine art portrait photographs by Gay Block. For some 50 years, Block has captured the identities of the people she’s encountered, from elderly residents of the Art Deco hotels in Miami Beach, to the Christians who saved Jews during the Holocaust, to summer camp girls. 

    ”Through photography, I have learned about love. I hadn’t learned about love at home or in school. Photography formed and shaped me. I couldn’t have learned about love without photography, and I’m still learning.” - Gay Block

    Gay Block's work has been published in books, and is collected by the Museum of Modern Art, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, the El Paso Museum of Art, and the New Mexico Museum of Art, among others.
