	Sheila Metzner
			ARTIST STATEMENT Sheila Metzner was born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1939, and attended Pratt Institute, where she majored in visual communications. After she graduated, the Doyle Dane Bernbach advertising agency hired her as its first female art director. During the next thirteen years Metzner took photographs, slowly amassing a collection while raising five children. One of these photographs was included in the famous and controversial exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, "Mirrors and Windows: American Photography since 1960," and became the dark-horse hit of the exhibition. Gallery shows and commercial clients soon followed. Metzner's unique photographic style has positioned her as a contemporary master in the worlds of fine art, fashion, portraiture, still life and landscape photography. Her fine-art photographs are featured in many private and museum collections, including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The International Center of Photography and the Agfa and Polaroid collections. She has published four monographs, Objects of Desire, which won the American Society of Magazine Photographers Ansel Adams Award for Book Photography; Sheila Metzner's Color, Inherit the Earth, and Form and Fashion.
