SFC FINE PRINT PROGRAM

SFC’s Fine Print Program offers collectors the opportunity to acquire exceptional photographs by established and emerging artists with longstanding connections to SFC.

Built over decades, the program brings together a distinctive selection of works by nationally and internationally recognized artists alongside important voices in Bay Area photography. Many are limited editions, with some representing the final print available from an edition.

Fine Prints are offered exclusively through SF Camerawork, providing a unique opportunity to build or expand a photography collection while directly supporting SFC’s exhibitions and artist programs.

In The Greater Good, Anthony Hooker examines the history and legacy of the Tuskegee syphilis study, in which African American men were deceived and denied treatment by U.S. public health officials. Through his photographs, Hooker explores themes of racial injustice, institutional power, and the lasting consequences of medical exploitation. Room With Rear Window forms part of this reflection on a troubling chapter in American history.

In The Greater Good series, Anthony Hooker revisits the enticement of African American males in Tuskegee, Alabama, into a study of syphilis. As images of untreated patients are overlapped with those of the medical facility in which the now-questionable study was conducted, Hooker interrogates the claim made by the United States Public Health Service, in 1932, that the suffering of a few hundred men (at least 15% of whom died) was for "the greater good" of Americans. Hooker’s work is included in several collections, including the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
