Laura Gilpin’s (1917-1979) career spanned over fifty years and was varied and wide-ranging, and established her as one of the foremost women photographers of our time. Aside from the usual work in portraiture, architectural photographs, and magazine illustrations, Miss Gilpin’s assignments had taken her to ruins at Mesa Verde and in Yucatan; to the pueblos of New Mexico and Arizona; to Central City, Colorado, where for five years she photographed theatre productions staged by Robert Edmond Jones; to the Boeing aircraft plant in Wichita, Kansas, during World War II, as public relations photographer; and in 1945, to Santa Fe, once more in her beloved Southwest.
