Richard Margolis

Richard Margolis is a fine art and architectural photographer who has lived and worked in Rochester since 1972.

Books by Richard Margolis consist largely of catalogues of exhibitions. They serve as a permanent record of these exhibitions, often with installation views, artist statements, and additional information about how the prints fit within the evolution of his overall portfolio.

Richard has extensively and consistently photographed landmark buildings, public art, and big trees in western New York and Israel. He believes that these things, though often overlooked, make the world a more wonderful place. He considers his work printmaking. His creative work can be seen more in the manipulation of the print than in the subject of his photographs, still, a consistent nuance and aesthetic point of view exists through his body of work.



Richard has exhibited widely both in the U.S. and internationally. His work is in many collections including Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris, France; The Library of Congress, Washington, DC; The Museum of Modern Art, New York, NY; Rochester International Airport, Rochester, NY; Victoria & Albert Museum, London, England; and Yale University, New Haven, CT.
