21st Century

Anne Sager is a contemporary photographer known for her vibrant color palettes and eclectic subject matter, ranging from intimate close-ups of natural forms to evocative junkyard still lives. Her artistic journey began in painting, but she transitioned to color photography, drawn to its unique expressive possibilities. Sager's work often explores the beauty found in unexpected places, as seen in her compelling junkyard series, where she transforms discarded objects into visually arresting compositions. Her exploration of the human form is also notable, particularly in her series focusing on Women over 50, which celebrates the strength, beauty, and diversity of mature womanhood. Her artistic process has evolved to include digital manipulation, allowing her to further enhance the visual impact of her images. Sager's significant presence within the New York art scene is underscored by her intimate portraits of art world luminaries such as Willem de Kooning, Keith Haring, and John Opper, captured within the private spaces of their studios. This access to and documentation of these iconic figures highlights her deep immersion in and connection to the heart of the New York art world during a pivotal era. Her exhibitions at Ashawagh Hall, the Neikrug Gallery, and the International Center of Photography in Manhattan, as well as her international shows, including a group show in Prague with Professional Women Photographers, further solidify her standing as a respected artist.
