While her 1940s black-and-white work is iconic, her color work from the 1970s was equally masterful yet under-published at the time. This archive captures the specific moment (19801981) when museums and galleries began to canonize her color photography. The Grossmont catalog is one of the earliest publications dedicated solely to this color work, and the MATRIX brochure documents her acceptance into the contemporary art establishment.
