About the Item

This photograph is offered by ClampArt, located in New York City.
Born in Brooklyn, Sheila Metzner attended Pratt Institute, where she majored in Visual Communications. Shortly after graduating, she was hired by Doyle Dane Bernbach advertising agency as its first female art director. She took pictures all the while, amassing them slowly over the next thirteen years, while raising five children. One of these photographs was included in the Museum of Modern Art's groundbreaking exhibition, "Mirrors and Windows: American Photography since 1960." Gallery shows and commercial clients soon followed, launching a career that has taken Metzner around the world on assignments for clients like Valentino, Shiseido, and Revlon; as well as for her own photographic projects, which have focused largely on details of the human form, and natural and urban scenes.
Metzner's photographs are featured in the collections of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Museum of Modern Art, The Brooklyn Museum, and Saks Fifth Avenue, all in New York City; The Getty Museum, Los Angeles; The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; and The Art Institute of Chicago; as well as the collections of the Agfa and Polaroid Corporations.

Sheila Metzner
Sheila Metzner (born 1939) is an American photographer. She was the first female photographer to collaborate with the Vogue magazine on an ongoing basis. Metzner lives in Brooklyn, New York. Metzner graduated from the High School of Art and Design and the Faculty of Visual Communications of the Pratt Institute. In the 1960s, she became the first woman to be promoted to art director by Doyle Dane Bernbach, an advertising agency. Thanks to this, she successfully collaborated with well-known photographers, including Richard Avedon, Melvin Sokolsky, Bob Richardson and Diane Arbus. Her first show in New York was called Friends & Family. She decided to show part of the images to the director of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, John Sarkovsky. In 1978, he bought one and included in MoMA exhibition Mirrors and Windows: American Photography Since 1960. A second exhibition – Photography (Spring 1981): Couches, Diamonds and Pie – took place there. After that, The New York Times and The Sunday Times published a photograph of Sheila's husband. In 2008 the School of Visual Arts presented the exhibition Time Line: Shelia Metzner at the Visual Arts Museum, New York.
