in San Francisco is currently home to the Pilara Family Foundation Collection of photographs, which includes more than 4,000 works that span the history of the medium. Due to rising rents, the museum will close and its inventory will be auctioned off.
Pier 24 Photography is the largest exhibition space in the world dedicated solely to photography, but due to what the owners say is rising rent, it is no longer able to keep its doors open.
“Looking at and collecting photographs enabled me to use the other side of my brain, to be involved in something creative. Photography changed my way of seeing, and in sharing this collection, I hope others might similarly be inspired to rethink the way they see the world.” Pier 24 Photography featured more than 11 exhibitions over the course of its time at San Franciso’s pier — all of which were open for free to the public — and published more than 20 books. The gallery will begin to sell its inventory starting this year and will close in July 2025. The gallery says that rising rents have forced its hand.
