Alex Webb has published more than 15 books, including The Suffering of Light, a survey book of 30 years of his color photographs. He’s exhibited at museums worldwide including the Whitney Museum of American Art, N.Y., the High Museum of Art, Atlanta, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
His work is in numerous collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, N.Y.; The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and the Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego. A Magnum Photos member since 1979, his work has appeared in The New York Times Magazine, Geo, National Geographic, Vogue, and other publications. Webb has received numerous awards including a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2007 and two NEA grants.
Some of his most recent books include La Calle: Photographs from Mexico and two collaborative books, Brooklyn: The City Within and Waves with Rebecca Norris Webb, the former newly reprinted by Aperture. His most recent book, Dislocations, was released in fall 2023 by Aperture. He’s currently working on an ongoing project on U.S. cities.
Originally a poet, Rebecca Norris Webb often interweaves her words and photographs in her ten books, most notably in her monograph, My Dakota—an elegy for her brother who died unexpectedly—for which a solo exhibition of the work appeared at The Cleveland Museum of Art in summer 2015, among other venues.
Her work has appeared in The New Yorker, The New York Times Magazine, and Le Monde, and is in the collections of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, The Cleveland Museum of Art, the Brooklyn Museum, and the George Eastman Museum, Rochester, New York. Violet Isle: A Duet of Photographs from Cuba—her first collaboration with her husband and creative partner Alex Webb—was exhibited at the MFA, Boston.
A 2019 NEA grant recipient, her most recent monographs are Night Calls, in which she retraced the routes of some of her doctor father’s house calls through the same rural county where they both were born, and A Difficulty Is a Light, her first hybrid poetry book, which is punctuated by fifteen of her photographs. Norris Webb is currently working on an ongoing series of photographs in the Dakotas, called Badlands—exploring the geography of loss both personal and environmental—as well as her upcoming book, Glimmerings, a selection of some thirty years of her color photographs.
