Co. Jack von Euw
Photographer and Artist Judy Dater has been a major figure contributing to Photography’s breakout moment in the 1960s. Over the years her intimate and insightful portraits and nudes have influenced and inspired a generation of photographers. Her work has been exhibited world-wide and is held in numerous important collections. She is the author of several books including Women and Other Visions with Jack Welpott, 1975, Imogen Cunningham: A Portrait, 1979, Judy Dater: 20 Years, 1986 Cycles, 1992, and Only Human, 2018.
She studied art at UCLA from 1959 to 1962 before moving to San Francisco and received a bachelor’s degree in 1963 and a master’s degree in 1966, both from San Francisco State University. Judy Dater uses photography as an instrument for challenging traditional conceptions of the female body. Her early work paralleled the emergence of the feminist movement, and her work became strongly associated with it. Dater began taking photographs in the 1960s and she is still taking photographs today. She has been the recipient of a Guggenheim fellowship, a Rockefeller Foundation grant for a residency at Bellagio, a Djerassie Artist in Residence grant and two National Endowment for the Arts Grants.
