ROBERT TAT GALLERY Our eclectic collection of vintage and later prints emphasizes Photographic Modernism, but also includes earlier and later photographs. The gallery shows works by 20th century master photographers, lesser-known mid-century salon photographers, the pictorialists, select contemporary artists, unique vernacular and anonymous photographs, and selected 19th century works. We also maintain a good selection of vintage historical photographs of San Francisco and California. The gallery is open by appointment only in San Francisco, California. Please contact us to set up an appointment.
