Karin Rosenthal

Karin Rosenthal’s abstract photographs of nudes in nature have been exhibited internationally, collected widely, and reside in 17 museum collections, including Boston’s MFA, the Brooklyn Museum, the ICP, and the Yale University Art Gallery (YUAG). They have won numerous international awards and have been shown and sold at the prestigious AIPAD exposition in NYC.  Her photograph in First Doubt: Optical Confusion in Modern Photography at YUAG was selected to represent the show of 100 images by famous 20th Century photographers and was featured in the New York Times review.  At the Griffin Museum of Photography in 2016, she curated 37 Photographers/ One Model with nudes in nature by her and her workshop students of a male dancer in his fifties, overturning conventions of nude photography.  As a Resident Artist/Scholar at Brandeis University’s Women’s Studies Research Center in 2013, she initiated and oversaw an exhibition of photographs by Vivian Maier. A book entitled Karin Rosenthal: Twenty Years of Photographs was published in conjunction with a retrospective of her Nudes in Water Series at the Danforth Museum in 2000.
