Sue Davies, 87, Founder Of The First Public Photography Gallery In London

PEOPLE Posted: May 3, 2020 7:00 am

Davies was also a fierce advocate for the art form at the Photographers’ Gallery, intended to be democratic in its shows and its audiences. “School parties were encouraged, as were discussion groups, which extended to monthly meetings of the Unemployed Photographers’ Club, formed following layoffs at Times Newspapers in 1991. Sue had rejected her first choice of name – The Photography Gallery – for a reason: she wanted to create a space where photographers felt at home, surrounded by photographs.” – The Guardian (UK)
