REBECCA NORRIS WEBB
Originally a poet, Rebecca Norris Webb (1956) is the author of seven photography books, which often intertwine images and words: the best known is My Dakota, an elegy for her brother who died unexpectedly, with a solo exhibition at the Cleveland Museum of Art ( 2015). Together with her husband Alex Webb, she helds photography seminars at museums, universities and art organizations all over the world. Her works have been published in The New Yorker, The New York Times Magazine and Le Monde, and have become part of numerous collections, including that of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and the Cleveland Museum of Art. Rebecca Norris Webb has won an NEA scholarship with his most recent book, Brooklyn: The City Within (with Alex Webb), which became an exhibit at the Museum of the City in New York from March 2020. In his eighth book, Night Calls, she reconstructed the path of home visits of his 99-year-old father, a former country doctor, in the rural Midwestern county where they were both born. The project has already been exhibited at the Dahl Arts Center, Rapid City, SD, and continues to be the protagonist of exhibitions in galleries and museums nationally and internationally. Rebecca's works are part of important collections such as the Santa Barbara Museum of Art; George Eastman Museum, Rochester, NY; North Dakota Museum of Art, Grand Forks; Griffin Museum of Photography, Winchester; Provincetown Art Association and Museum, Provincetown; Zucchi Museum, Milan; Photo Library, National Photography Archive, Havana, Cuba; Dahl Arts Center, Rapid City, South Dakota; JGS Collection, New York; Houston Methodist Hospital, Houston, Texas; Lehigh University, Bethlehem; Cassilhaus Collection, Durham, North Carolina.
