Sarah Gordon’s presentation will be unique and certainly interesting.  She is the author of Indecent Exposures: Eadweard Muybridge’s Animal Locomotion Nudes.  She currently teaches courses on the history of photography and modern art at American University, College of Arts and Sciences and Photoworks at Glen Echo.  She also offers photography gallery talks at the National Gallery of Art. (She hosted a talk in December on the exhibit of The Collection of Robert E. Meyerhoff and Rheda Becker.  Contact the National Gallery of Art, Gallery Talks for its schedule.)  She has curated exhibitions at the American University Museum at the Katzen Center and Photoworks at Glen Echo.  Previously, she was a research associate in the department of photographs at the National Gallery of Art for seven years, where she collaborated on exhibitions of photographs by Robert Frank, Harry Callahan, Charles Marville, Frederick Sommer, plus others.

In addition to her teaching and museum work, Sarah has consulted with private art collectors in the Washington, DC area, and she has researched and written on New Deal murals in federal buildings for the General Services Administration.  She received both her undergraduate and doctorate degrees from Northwestern University.

I have asked her to bring along copies of her book, which we will display in the meeting room.
