SmithDavidson Gallery is the official gallery for Janette Beckman with access to the full collection.
British-born photographer Janette Beckman began her career documenting punk rock for publications such as The Face and Melody Maker, photographing bands as The Clash and Boy George as well as three Police album covers. She moved to NYC in 1983, capturing the emerging hip-hop scene with portraits of legends like RUN DMC, Slick Rick and Salt-N-Pepa.
Her dedication to documenting the outliers of society remains evident in the works she creates surrounding subjects such as Manhattan based dirt bike gang, The Go Hard Boyz, an illegal girl fight club in Brownsville, New York, and the hard-nosed rodeo riders of the River City Rodeo in Omaha, Nebraska.
Janette Beckman's work has been shown in galleries and museums worldwide including the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Kunsthal Rotterdam and Foam Amsterdam Museum.
