Rebecca Norris WEbb & Alex Webb
September 2023

Originally a poet, Rebecca Norris Webb often interweaves her text and photographs in her nine books, most notably in her monograph, My Dakota—an elegy for her brother who died unexpectedly—for which a solo exhibition of the work appeared at The Cleveland Museum of Art, among other venues. Her work has appeared in The New Yorker, Le Monde, and The New York Times Magazine, and is in the collections of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, The Cleveland Museum of Art, and the George Eastman Museum, Rochester, New York. Rebecca is a 2019 NEA grant recipient. Her most recent monograph, Night Calls—in which she retraced the route of some of her now 103-year-old country doctor father’s house calls through the same rural county where they both were born—was released by Radius Books in December 2020. She’s currently working on a new project in the Dakotas, called Badlands.

Alex Webb has published more than fifteen photography books, including The Suffering of Light, a survey book of thirty years of his color photographs. He’s exhibited at museums worldwide including the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, the High Museum of Art, Atlanta, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. He has been a Magnum Photos member since 1979, and his work has appeared in The New York Times Magazine, National Geographic, and other publications. He has received numerous awards including a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2007. His most recent books include La Calle: Photographs from Mexico and the collaborations with Rebecca Norris Webb, Brooklyn: The City Within, exhibited at the Museum of the City of New York, and Waves (Radius, 2022), which will be exhibited at the Provincetown Art Association Museum in spring 2024. His upcoming book, Dislocations, will be released by Aperture in fall 2023.
