Frazier King

HOUSTON, TEXAS–One of the quiet titans of collecting contemporary photography, Frazier King is also a photographer known for his timeless black-and-white still-lifes. “I began collecting photographs in earnest in 2000,” King says. “This was due to a spontaneous reaction to the photographs in an exhibition organized as part of the FotoFest Biennial that year.” In 2012, works from his collection were included in FotoFest’s “The Collector’s Eye II” exhibition. King’s collection includes works by London-based Elaine Duigenan, Czech image-maker Pavel Banka, Houston collaborators Mary Magsamen and Stephan Hillerbrand, and Wisconsin artist Susan Dunkerley Maguire. In 2019, a book of King’s collection was published: The Collector’s Eye: A Photographer’s View of His Contemporaries, produced jointly by FotoFest and Amsterdam-based Schilt Publishing.
