Fraenkel Gallery is a contemporary art gallery based in San Francisco, founded in 1979. Since its inception, the gallery has presented nearly four hundred exhibitions, with a program centered on photography and its relationship to other artistic media. Its exhibitions and publications encompass significant works across a wide range of forms, extending from historical material to contemporary practice and spanning more than two centuries of art making.

The gallery’s approach is grounded in the idea that photographs gain deeper meaning when viewed alongside other objects and media, and that such dialogue enriches the understanding of art more broadly. Through exhibitions, scholarly publications, and close collaboration with artists and estates, Fraenkel Gallery has established itself as an important platform for the critical presentation of photography within a wider cultural and historical context.
