Karin Rosenthal

KARIN ROSENTHAL, a Wellesley College graduate, studied photography at the Rochester Institute of Technology and the Boston Museum School. Her nudes have been published and exhibited internationally and reside in numerous museum collections including the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, Boston Public Library, Brooklyn Museum, Santa Barbara Museum of Art, the Fogg and Rose Art Museums, the International Center of Photography, and Yale University Art Gallery. In 1978, she received a Traveling Fellowship from Wellesley College to photograph in Greece. Since then, her nudes have been represented by galleries throughout the U.S. with recent showings at the Benham Gallery in Seattle, Verve Gallery in Santa Fe and at the Yale University Art Gallery. A book entitled Karin Rosenthal: Twenty Years of Photographs was published in conjunction with a major exhibition of her work at the Danforth Museum of Art in 2000. Rosenthal received a LEF Foundation Grant and the 2006 Ultimate Eye Foundation Grant for Figurative Photography. She has served actively on the Executive Board of New England Women in Photography and has taught numerous workshops since 1996. She was selected the 2009 Distinguished Artist/Teacher in Residence for the Rocky Neck Art Colony and is currently a Visiting Scholar at Brandeis University’s Womens Studies Research Center.

The Vivian Maier Exhibition, which Karin Rosenthal initiated, co-curated, and for which she oversaw the programming was selected by Jared Bowen of Greater Boston (WGBH-TV) as one of Boston's most memorable arts events of the year. The Maier show at the Women's Studies Research Center was included among shows at the Museum of Fine Art, the Gardner Museum, and the Rose Art Museum. Bowen's Holiday Arts Special TV programme (repeated often at the end of 2103) included with an interview with her that had been recorded and broadcast earlier.  Click Here for a link to the full program. Karin's part about the "moonlighting nanny" starts 7min 30sec into the video.
