Lauren Richman, Ph.D., William and Sarah Ross Soter Curator of Photography, discusses the Norton's exhibition, Ellen Graham: Unscripted.

The Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach, Florida held the exhibition from March 2 to July 7, 2024.

Learn more about this remarkable photographer who for more than six decades wielded her camera to summon the essence of a person on light-sensitive paper. Best known for her portraits of actors, musicians, performers, and athletes, this exhibition highlights several of Graham’s gifts to the Norton along with a generous array of special loans — both photographs and photographic ephemera — from the Ellen Graham Archive.
