Frieze Los Angeles: Ming Smith: The Things She Knows

Nicola Vassell Gallery is pleased to present The Things She Knows, a series of rare and new works by the photographer Ming Smith at Frieze Los Angeles 2023. While the photographs in this exhibition represent over fifty years of Smith’s practice, each embodies her keen observation of the feminine spirit. Over the course of her career, Smith photographed some of the most celebrated artists of the twentieth-century, possessing a preternatural ability to recognize and capture the complexity, power, and energy of women who chose to live according to their beliefs and express themselves freely—defying the constricting expectations of their time.
