Block Island Summer

From August 11th through September 10th, the studio will present a fine art photography show featuring photographs taken by Klaus Gemming. Gemming, along with his wife Marianne and two daughters, spent summers on Block Island during the 1970’s. Together the couple published the cult classic, “Block Island Summer,” a historical exploration of the island, featuring Klaus’s captivating photography and charming text by Marianne.
