The Grand Opening Exhibition includes a specially curated selection of each Gallery’s inventory including works by Obscura’s represented artists and other select inventory.
THE GALLERY:
The contemporary artists at Obscura Gallery are each representing photography in a new, unique way, sometimes taking from or adding to many of the 19th and 20th century photographic processes that the medium was founded on. Each artist represented at Obscura Gallery offers a hand-crafted, thoughtful approach to their work.
In addition to representing contemporary artists, Obscura Gallery is in the process of building a carefully selected Gallery inventory by 19th-21st century photographers from around the world who represent the finest contributions to the history of photography.
Obscura Gallery, started in 2016, and named after the original Camera Obscura, was founded on our passion for photography which is deeply rooted in the history of the medium. Our Gallery encourages the ways in which contemporary artists are using photography to create unique additions to the history of photography which began nearly 200 years ago.
The gallery was conceived by Owner and Director Jennifer Schlesinger. A photography dealer, and artist herself, Jennifer brings to Obscura Gallery the experience of being the Director of VERVE Gallery of Photography in Santa Fe, New Mexico for eleven years. Jennifer’s career experience has led to developing long term relationships with artists, clients, and collectors as well as the local, national and international photographic community.
In addition to offering for sale the artwork by Obscura Gallery’s roster of artists and gallery inventory, we also offer collection building, consulting and advising, as well as estate representation, and consignments. We can assist in many facets of photographic collection, de-accession, and research.
Obscura Gallery’s is located in the Santa Fe downtown historic district two blocks east of the revitalized Railyard district in a renovated historic building. The historic building was once home to the Ortiz community grocery store in the 1940’s as well as hosting the Mayor’s office in the second story portion of the building during the late 1950’s and 1960’s. Obscura Gallery shares the newly renovated space with Brant Mackley Gallery which specializes in exceptional antique North America Indian, Oceanic, Asian, and African art and the two offer their audience a unique Santa Fe gallery experience.
