We are seeking artists from around the world to feature in this issue.

He attended Manhattanville College in Purchase NY, and Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, NY, studying urban design, architecture & photography. After opening Gallery 71 in 1994, González spent a little more than a decade dedicated solely to his artists’ success before adding himself to the gallery’s roster. Since then, approximately 35 of his images have since been included in the permanent collections of the following museums: Barack Obama Presidential Library/National Archives of the United States, Museum of the City of New York, The New York Historical Society, The Center for Creative Photography at the University of Arizona and recently El Museo del Barrio. Private collectors: President & Mrs. Barack Obama, Ms. Agnes Gund, President Emeritus MOMA, Actor, Writer, Director Spike Lee, Abbe Raven, Former CEO and Chairperson, A+E Networks/History Channel. Gallery 71 focuses on promoting fine works of art: paintings, limited-edition prints & photographs and sculptures. The Gallery always has a selection of its holdings on display, representing the work of a number of artists. In addition, Gallery 71 has been home to a variety of notable curated solo and group exhibitions.To learn more, visit gallery71.com & alfredgonzalezphotography.com
