Read the Full History
Originally named Best’s Studio, we have been operated in Yosemite Valley by the same (Ansel Adams) family since 1902. In the summer of 1902, a landscape painter and political cartoonist for the San Francisco Chronicle by the name of Harry Best took an excursion to Yosemite Valley to camp and paint. Little did he know that this trip would have, indirectly, such an impact on so many, or that we, his descendants, would be telling this story now, over a century later.

Represented Artists
The Ansel Adams Gallery represents over 20 artists, in addition the work of Ansel Adams, whose artwork embodies the stunning landscape and soul that is Yosemite National Park and the American West. Several of our represented photographers are former assistants of Ansel Adams or students. Each artist has a unique view on Yosemite, and the world at large, which is the result of years working behind a camera, easel or studio table as well as in the field.
