Judy Glickman Lauder has always understood the power of photography. Her father, Irving Bennet Ellis, took photos of her throughout her childhood, images that were used in Kodak’s poignant television commercial of the 1960s, “Turn Around.” In the 70s, Glickman Lauder bought her own camera and focused on images of cities, especially places connected with the Holocaust; she also began collecting the works of photographers she admired. Her first purchase was a haunting image by Jerry Uelsmann called Small Woods Where I Met Myself. Over the next 50 years Glickman Lauder’s collection grew to more than 600 photographs, and included works by Anne Brigman, Margaret Bourke-White, Dorothea Lange, and Sally Mann. In 2022, she promised her collection to Maine’s Portland Museum of Art. The 100 images in this exhibition are part of that collection. —Clara Molot
