Robert Mann Gallery
525 West 26th Street
10001 New York
It’s rare to come across an artist who has slipped into obscurity after gaining significant recognition. Such is the case for Ann Treer (also know as Agatha Reimann) a photographer of Hungarian descent who created a small but concise body of photographs during the 1950’s and 1960’s. Robert Mann Gallery is pleased to mount an exhibition of Treer’s beautiful and sensitive works, opening on March 8, 2023.
Treer passed away in 1985 and left behind a small collection of vintage prints that were nestled among the hundreds of prints in David Vestal’s Estate. Vestal was her husband, her confidant and her inspiration in taking pictures, and a well known photographer, writer and researcher in his own right. Vestal wrote in Treer’s obituary “I once embarrassed her by saying that she was the only photographer I have ever looked up to. But it’s the truth. When we went shooting together, she kept bringing back pictures that I wished I had taken. I’ve never felt that about anyone else’s work”.
