Experience a Century of Photography at Leica's Landmark Exhibition in Los Angeles
Celebrate A Century of Leica
The Leica Store & Gallery in Los Angeles is proud to announce a major exhibition titled "100 YEARS OF LEICA," marking a remarkable centennial in the world of photography. This exhibition features the work of acclaimed photographers Joel Meyerowitz and Barbara Davidson, showcasing the pivotal role Leica has played in transforming photography over the last century.
Exhibition Overview
Opening on March 1, 2025, this immersive exhibition aims to reflect on Leica’s influential journey since the launch of the Leica I, the first mass-produced 35mm camera, which debuted at the Leipzig Spring Fair in 1925. The exhibition brings together an eclectic collection of images that capture the evolving landscape of photography from the bustling streets of the 20th century to the contemporary visuals of today. It will be on display throughout March 2025, coinciding with a year-long celebration of Leica's 100th anniversary.
The Artists
Joel Meyerowitz, born in New York in 1938, has enjoyed a prolific career as a photographer, with over 350 exhibitions worldwide showcasing his pioneering work in color photography. Meyerowitz’s philosophy of photography evolved over time, prompting him to shift from traditional incident-based photography toward deeper, more meaningful imagery that narrates complex stories within each frame.
Barbara Davidson, a multi-award-winning photographer and photojournalist, focuses on social justice themes in her work. Through her lens, she explores the dynamics of inequality and hope across the modern American landscape. Davidson’s collaboration with Leica reflects on America’s evolving social fabric, particularly in light of the gun violence epidemic, revealing narratives of resilience and dignity amid adversity.

This exhibition sets the stage for countless events slated throughout 2025 in various major cities worldwide, including Dubai, Milan, New York, Shanghai, and Tokyo. Each location will host special exhibitions and celebrate Leica's legacy of innovation and artistic excellence.
