Catalogue Essay
Like her friend Consuelo Kanaga, whose portrait by Lavenson appears as lot 18, Alma Lavenson was not officially a member of Group f.64, but was included in the group’s landmark exhibition at San Francisco’s de Young Museum in 1932. Self-taught, and at first a Pictorialist, she went on to become an important proponent of American Modernism.
