Women
In Photography International
Establishes List of Top 100 Distinguished Women Photographers
from
502 nominations
August
31, 2008
Women In
Photography International continues its tradition by establishing
a list of the top 100 Distinguished Women Photographers for
2008. Included on the list are photography's classics, Lillian
Bassman, Jodi Cobb, Anne Geddes, Graciela Iturbide, Helen Levitt,
Sally Mann and Cindy Sherman.
Starting in 2006, to celebrate WIPI’s 25th Anniversary,
Women In Photography International (www.WIPI.org) began the process
of researching and culling the names of working women photographers
worldwide. After two years, the finalized list of the Top 100
female Photographers was completed in August 2008, and serves
as the 25th Anniversary Addendum to WIPI’s Distinguished
Photographer’s Award, first presented to Eve Arnold
in 1981.
Selecting the top 100 women photographers involved Googling each
of the candidates nominated with attention focused on the artist’s
body of work, history of exhibition, biographies, portfolios,
career longevity, publications, and social impact. The selection
acknowledges women starting at the earliest stages of their career
to working photographers with twenty-five or more years of history.
A variety of resource materials were used to assemble the list,
most notably Dr. Naomi Rosenblum's 1994 groundbreaking volume,
'A History of Women Photographers', and Photo Historian, Peter
E. Palmquist’s, 2001 list of women photographers, donated
to WIPI’s online resource center. The Palmquist Collection
of Western American and Women's Photography is housed at Yale
University's Beinecke Library. Additional support and consultation
was provided by photographers, curators, educators, museums, educational
foundations, photographic organizations, and gallery owners worldwide.
Women In Photography International’s Top 100 Distinguished
Photographers list honors the accomplishments of dedicated working
women photographers around the globe. Each of the nominees, and
the selected finalists has contributed uniquely to the field of
the visual arts. Whether self-taught or formally educated, each
of these women were selected for their dedication, artistry, and
for creating a body of work that has touched our lives.
From the NOMINATED List below 100 photographers were chosen
