Best's
Studio, Inc. doing business as The
Ansel Adams Gallery® in Yosemite
National Park, was awarded a new
10-year concession contract that
became effective March 1, 2010.
The Ansel Adams Gallery® has been
operating in the park since 1902,
making them the oldest, family
owned and operated concessioner in
the National Park Service. The
Ansel Adams Gallery® is a
photographic and art business with
an emphasis on Ansel Adams and the
history of art and photography in
Yosemite.
In addition to selling Ansel Adams
photography, the gallery also
rents photographic equipment,
sells photographic and art
supplies, park related
publications, and authentic
American Indian handicrafts. The
gallery also provides instruction
in photographic and artistic
methods and complementary visitor
education programs.
Ansel Adams is inexorably
associated with Yosemite and is
recognized worldwide. Images of
Half Dome, Inspiration Point, and
El Capitan made by Ansel Adams set
photographic standards of the
national parks that are still
respected and admired today.
"We are pleased to offer this
concession contract to The Ansel
Adams Gallery®. Art and
photography are incredibly
important to Yosemite, and all
national parks, and there is no
greater example than the work of
Ansel Adams," said Acting
Yosemite Superintendent Dave
Uberuaga.
The Ansel Adams Gallery® is
located in a historic building in
Yosemite Village, where Ansel
Adams lived and printed some of
his iconic photographs. The new
concession contract runs through
February 29, 2020.
