2026 ACP Auction Gala Honoree: Justine Kurland Justine Kurland
We are proud to honor Justine Kurland at this year’s Atlanta Center for Photography Auction Gala, Common Threads, alongside fellow honoree Mary Stanley, on Friday, October 2 at FORTH Atlanta.
Justine Kurland is an artist known for her utopian photographs of American landscapes and the fringe communities, both real and imagined, that inhabit them. Her early work, made during many cross-country road trips, counters the masculinist mythology of the American landscape, offering a radical female imaginary in its place. Her recent series of collages, SCUMB Manifesto, continues to make space for women by transforming books by canonized male photographers through destruction and reparation.
Kurland’s work has been exhibited at museums and galleries in the United States and abroad and is held in the permanent collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the Museum of Modern Art, the Carnegie Museum, the Getty Museum, the National Gallery of Art, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Montreal, among others.
Join us as we celebrate Justine Kurland and Mary Stanley and the many threads that connect artists, collectors, institutions, and our broader photography community.
