For over three decades the Center Quarterly, A Journal of Photography and related Arts, brought forth innovative ideas and imagery
through essays, interviews, portfolios, and served as source of
discovery for new voices in contemporary photography.... Kathleen Kenyon served the longest term as editor from 1982 to 2003. During her tenure, the quarterly reached new heights of excellence by serving as a platform for expanded
dialogues centered around Center for Photography at Woodstock's exhibitions, engaging not only
photography but film, video, and photo-based installation art. Important
issues of the time that were addressed included explorations of race,
gender, sexual identity, cultural politics, and artists from
under-recognized regions and communities. In addition the quarterly began
to present artist portfolios and featured issues dedicated to the
promotion of collecting of contemporary photography through collector
interviews and by highlighting CPW’s annual benefit auction. One issue here is the Workshops listing for 1993, another, # 56, is the Auction catalogue for that year.
