1905 Contemporary presents a thoughtfully curated program of photography by both established and emerging artists, with a focus on works that are visually compelling, technically refined, and rich in narrative.

The gallery takes its name from the year 1905, when photographer Alfred Stieglitz opened the first gallery in the United States dedicated to exhibiting photography as fine art. This moment marked a turning point in the medium’s history, when photography began to be recognized as an expressive and collectible art form. That shift continues to guide the gallery’s perspective today.

At its core, 1905 Contemporary is built around a lasting appreciation for photography across generations.

With more than two decades of combined experience, the team behind 1905 Contemporary brings a thoughtful and personal approach to collecting. The gallery works closely with collectors at every stage, offering guidance grounded in knowledge and long-term perspective, as well as expertise in framing to ensure each work is presented beautifully and thoughtfully.

1905 Contemporary seeks to share its passion for photography while fostering meaningful connections between artists, collectors, and the images themselves.
