SUMMARY
Judy Glickman Lauder, who was once Kodak's "Turn Around" girl, has curated a significant photography collection that is now touring the US as "Presence: The Photography Collection of Judy Glickman Lauder." The exhibition features around 100 prints from approximately 50 renowned photographers, including Dorothea Lange, Gordon Parks, and Diane Arbus. Lauder's own journey as a photographer, beginning after a childhood spent in front of the lens of her pictorialist father, Irving Bennett Ellis, informs her distinctive approach to collecting. The exhibition is organized thematically around the concept of "presence," grouping images based on their emotional impact rather than chronological order, offering a masterclass in curation for aspiring photographers.
