Exhibition: Sage Sohier, Easy Days

The Center for Photographic Art is proud to present Easy Days, a solo exhibition by acclaimed photographer Sage Sohier. In celebration of Sage's latest monograph, CPA partnered with Nazraeli Press to create this retrospective exhibition which includes a selection of the artist's photographs from her series Americans Seen, Passing Time, andEasy Days, which is also the title of Sage's new book (Nazraeli, 2025). We’re honored that Sage will be here in person to discuss her long career and sign copies of her latest beautiful monograph. Come early to hear Sage in conversation with SFMOMA curator of photography, Shana Lopes, about These photographs that were made between 1979 - 1986 when Sage was a young photographer living in Boston. In that pre-digital and less paranoid era, families––and especially children and teenagers––used to hang out in their neighborhoods. A kind of theater of the streets emerged from the boredom of hot summer days and it was a great time to photograph people outside.
Sage Sohier has received fellowships from the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, the No Strings Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Massachusetts Artists Foundation. She has published eight monographs of her work and has had solo shows at multiple venues including The Museum of Contemporary Photography in Chicago, and Blue Sky Gallery in Portland, OR. Her work has been included in group shows at the Museum of Modern Art, NY, Fotografiska in Stockholm, the International Center of Photography, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and many other venues. Sohier’s work is in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, the Portland Art Museum, the Davis Museum, Wellesley College, and the Brooklyn Museum, to name a few.
Don’t miss this rare opportunity to meet this accomplished artist, hear her talk about her decades long career, and see her beautiful and poignant vintage silver prints in person.
