There were already a handful of works by Reitz in RAM’s collection when a…

Patrick Nagatani (1945 – 2017) was an artist committed to investigating the possibilities of photographic technology.

Frances and Michael’s partnership—both personal and professional—seemed to fuel their creative energy, and they…
