ABOUT
The Burns Collection stands among the world's largest private photographic collections. What distinguishes us from other galleries is that for over 40 years, our emphasis has been on historic, vernacular, and documentary photography. Global patrons of the BurnsPhotoGallery include public and private museums, corporate collections, experienced collectors, and those who are embarking upon their first photographic purchase.
Our goal is to offer visitors a unique experience, exposing them to the unexpected and expanding their perception of photography. We provide expertise for comprehensive appreciation of the art form. Within the Gallery, you'll discover an extensive array of unique vintage nineteenth and twentieth century photographic masterworks. We proudly represent the photographic estate of Wallace Litwin.
Whether you are a seasoned collector or a newcomer to the world of photography, our inventory has something to captivate every enthusiast!
