"Scheinbaum & Russek is celebrating its 40th anniversary. We specialize in 20th-century vintage and contemporary photography, and also represent the Estates of Beaumont and Nancy Newhall and Eliot Porter. In 1978 David Scheinbaum moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico, and began to assist the pre-eminent photography scholar, Beaumont Newhall. After a year of working with Beaumont, David began printing his negatives and established an interest in Beaumont’s own photographs. As people began coming to Janet and David’s home to view prints, they found themselves in the exciting position of creating a 'meeting place' for photographers and collectors. The idea for a gallery evolved and in 1980 they opened Scheinbaum & Russek Ltd. The photograph offered here comes from the personal collection of Beaumont and Nancy Newhall." - Andra Russek
