Join us this afternoon for a very special photography pop up exhibit and celebration for Barbara Ramos new book Fearless Eye: The Photography of Barbara Ramos

Between 1969 and 1973, the young photographer Barbara Ramos walked the streets of San Francisco, shooting pictures of people. For this brief time, her sharp eye and empathetic gaze allowed her to create a body of work that was incisively historic, timelessly human and luminously beautiful. Then she stopped photographing. Fifty years later, Ramos unpacked her images to discover an astonishing record of a time, a place, and a people. Her photographs offer up stirring scenes from everyday life - a group of Hari Krishnassing on Market Street, a window dresser changes a mannequin at Union Square Macy’s, two men lean in for a kiss at a peace rally in Golden Gate Park. The unearthing of Ramos’s archives revealed the work of a previously unknown master of twentieth-century photography, whose work belongs alongside that of Robert Frank, Diane Arbus and Vivian Maier. In this book, Barbara Ramos’s photographs are publlished for the first time. A preface by award winning novelist and essayist Rachel Kushner, an essay by photography historian Sally Stein, and an interview with Ramos by photographer and writer Steven A.Heller contextualize the images and the era in which the they were taken .Barbara was born in New York City and raised in Los Angeles. She attended the San Francisco Art Institute - BFA Photography. San Francisco State University MA Interdisciplinary Arts.
