Current Project

I will be working on two projects. The first is to compile a book representing my 33 years photographing the human figure, drawing images from more than 9 different series of B&W and color photographs. The second project is to organize and find a final form for the genealogy research I did in 2004 about relatives lost in the Holocaust.

Biography

Karin Rosenthal’s photographs of the human figure in the landscape have been published internationally and are in such major anthologies as Male Nude Now, Naked Women, and Eros. Her prints reside in numerous museum collections including the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, Boston Public Library, Brooklyn Museum, Santa Barbara Museum of Art, the Fogg, Rose, and Danforth Art Museums, the International Center of Photography, and the Yale University Art Gallery.

She received the 1978 Mary Elvira Stevens Traveling Fellowship from Wellesley College to spend a year in Greece developing her Nudes in Water series. Since then, her work has been represented by galleries in Boston, Wellfleet, Washington DC, Seattle, and Santa Fe where it is exhibited regularly. She has also had exhibitions at venues such as the Fogg Museum Print Room, the Firehouse Arts Center in Newburyport, and the Howard Yezerski Gallery.

Rosenthal received a LEF Foundation Grant to assist in the publication of her book and was awarded the 2006 Ultimate Eye Foundation Grant for Figurative Photography. Since 1995, she has served actively on the Planning Committee for New England Women in Photography. Rosenthal has taught workshops in the Figure and the Landscape since 1996.
