Crocker Art Museum

Photographs transport us through times and places, offering a unique view of the world through someone else's eyes. In the mid-1970s, psychiatrist Dr. Barry Ramer and his wife Lois started building a collection of international photography. Diverse in subject matter, their collection is united by their shared interest in human psychology and cultural inequities. With works by Shirley Baker, Flor Gardu?o, Lotte Jacobi, Richard Misrach, Larry Sultan, James Van Der Zee, and Iwao Yamawaki, Frames of Mind features the breadth of the Ramer’s holdings. The exhibition celebrates the Ramer’s most recent gift of photography to the Crocker and commemorates the 50th anniversary of their collecting. New exhibition, "Frames of Mind: The Ramer Photography Collection," is NOW ON VIEW through May 4, 2025!
