Camera Work: A Photographic Quarterly (1910 (Heft 30))

AN IMPORTANT INTERNATIONAL

EXHIBITION OF PHOTOGRAPHS

IN the month of November the Buffalo Fine Arts Academy (Albright Art
Gallery) will hold an important international exhibition of photographs.
The announcement for the same comes to hand as we go to press. It
is with special satisfaction that we reprint it, for it is an unequivocal and
public recognition of the work done by the Photo-Secession in the interest
of photography. The announcement reads as follows :

THE BUFFALO FINE ARTS ACADEMY
(ALBRIGHT ART GALLERY)
April 15, 1910.
Recognizing Photography as one of the mediums of expression in art
The Buffalo Fine Arts Academy will hold an Exhibition of Photography
in the Albright Art Gallery in November, 1910.
To ensure the best possible representation, the arrangements have been
placed in the hands of that organization which has done the most to promote
this particular branch of art—The Photo-Secession.
The exhibition will be of an international character, comprising, in
addition to the work of America, some of the best prints that have been made
in England, Austria, Germany and France. It will be > retrospective, but
also representative of the latest work.
Its distinguishing characteristic will be the Group System. Thus,
in the first place, it will include the representation of a number of Individual
Exhibitors selected by the Photo-Secession, the work of each being shown in
separate groups by means of the “alcove method” of hanging. Secondly,
the aggregate of the prints from each of the foreign countries will be similarly
displayed in separate groups. Thirdly, there will be a group-exhibit of the
work of Americans who hitherto have not had the opportunity of being
adequately represented in an important exhibition.
Those desirous of exhibiting in the last-named Open Section are
requested to send their prints, unframed, express prepaid, to 291 Fifth Avenue,
New York City, where they will be judged by The Photo-Secession.
All prints for this class must be delivered to the above address before September
10th. The selection will be governed by the principle of Independent Vision
and Quality of Rendering. To eliminate accidental successes, each exhibitor
in this section must be represented by at least three examples. In the case of
selected prints the express charges will be refunded by the Albright
Art Gallery, which also will defray the expense of returning them to
their respective owners.
Any further information that is desired may be obtained by addressing
The Photo-Secession.
The Buffalo Fine Arts Academy,
(Signed) Cornelia B. Sage, Acting Director.
