On June 18, 1976, I officially opened the Susan Spiritus Gallery and today, 37 years later, I am recognizing this day with a big smile and many wonderful memories! I started this business as a true neophyte. Not only was I the 'new kid on the block' in southern California, but I was one of the very few across the country to venture into the world of fine art photography! Some of my predecessors included Lee Witkin, Light Gallery, and Castelli, in New York, along with Helen Johnson (Focus), and of course, Tom Halsted, in Michigan. At this time only Halsted and I are still in the business, but we have been followed by many other well deserving and fine art photography dealers, who can be found north to south and coast to coast. I hope that they all have the lengthy success that I have enjoyed.
In celebration, I will be offering photographs for sale that have not been offered previously, many of which are from private collections and are being offered on a resale basis. In addition, all of them will be offered at a discounted price if you mention that you saw it in the June #2 newsletter.
