‘The sharp perception only a woman can bring to observing other women’: Dorothy Bohm’s photographs go on show at Lee Miller’s former home

A new exhibition titled 'About Women' featuring seven decades of work by photographer Dorothy Bohm opens at Farleys House & Gallery, the former home of photographer Lee Miller. The show highlights Bohm's female-focused street photography, spanning from black-and-white to color work, and draws a direct connection to Miller's legacy.

This exhibition matters as it signals a growing recognition for unsung women photographers, with Bohm's profile rising through recent acquisitions by major institutions. It also underscores the historical network of support among women artists, revealing how Bohm was instrumental in resurrecting Miller's own photographic legacy decades earlier.
