Pueblo Imagination: The Photography of Lee Marmon Opens at The Common Ground Gallery in NYC on November 18, 2004. A member of the Laguna Pueblo Indian tribe of New Mexico, Lee Marmon has been a photographer for the past 70 years. He has created (and continues to create!) photographic representations of Native peoples that affirm Native memories, self-knowledge, and presence. His photographs include portraits, landscapes, and Native ceremonies and have been featured in Time, the New York Times Magazine, Aperture, the Saturday Evening Post, the Los Angeles Times, New Mexico Magazine, Native Peoples, and Southwest Art.

Pueblo Imagination: The Photography of Lee Marmon will feature 25 silver gelatin photographs printed by Mr. Marmon. All
photographs in the show were taken with fixed lenses. The show at the Common Ground Gallery runs through January 15, 2005.

In addition to original photographs by Mr. Marmon, autographed copies of his recent book, The Pueblo Imagination: Landscape and Memory in the Photography of Lee Marmon, will be for sale ($40 Hardcover ISBN:0-8070-6614-1). Additionally, a signed and numbered, limited-edition poster of his 1962 photograph Dancers on the Dune will also be available. The Common Ground has specialized in antique and contemporary Native American and tribal arts for the past 25 years in New York City.
