On January 20th of this year, Gita Lenz died in New York, 100 years old, having just witnessed the first published monograph of her photographs. She had produced no new work since the 1960s, had not exhibited since the 50s, and had been wiped clean from the slate of art history until her path serendipitously crossed those of Timothy Bartling and his friend Gordon Stettinius, photographer and founder of Candela Books, a Richmond-based press devoted to printing quality publications of the photographic arts.
