While photography is primarily known for its ability to accurately depict reality, the medium has also lent itself to new ways of seeing, offering artists innovative methods to capture the world around them. Abstract Photography features photographs by artists who utilize different techniques, processes, and materials to highlight the abstract nature of their subjects. The gallery includes works by prominent photographers such as Brett Weston, Ralph Gibson, Richard Buswell, Angela Grauerholz, and Subhankar Banerjee.
