Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Warriors: Photographs by Gertrude Kasebier: Cody
April 10- August 8, Buffalo Bill Historical Center, John Bunker Sands Photograph Gallery
In 1898, New York photographer Gertrude Käsebier embarked on a deeply personal project, editing a set of prints that were among the most compelling of her celebrated body of work. Käsebier was on the threshold of a career that would establish her as both the leading portraitist of her time, and an extraordinary art photographer. Her latest undertaking being inspired by viewing the grand parade of Buffalo Bill’s Wild West troupe en route to Madison Square Garden in New York. Within weeks, Käsebier began photographing, formally and informally, the Lakota (Sioux) people travelling with the show in her 5th Ave. studio. Since 1969, more than 100 of these photographs have been preserved in the Photographic History Collection in the National Museum of American History. Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Warriors: Photographs by Gertrude Käsebier represents the first time this important collection has been displayed together in over a century. Also included are related ledger art drawings by Lakota artists, historical camera equipment, and more.
