Slant Rhymes by Alex Webb and Rebecca Norris Webb
Slant Rhymes is a visual conversation between Alex Webb and Rebecca Norris Webb. Selected from their nearly 30-year relationship (a friendship that evolved into a marriage and creative partnership)—this series is laid out in pairs—one by Alex and one by Rebecca—creating visual rhymes that talk to one another, often at a slant.

Our Gallerist Lucas Zenk
Lucas Zenk has more than fifteen years of experience in the photography gallery world. After studying film at the University of Massachusetts and photography at the New England School of Photography, he gained further experience at Magnum Photos in New York. Before joining Leica Gallery Chicago as Gallery Director, he owned an art gallery and served as Director of Stephen Daiter Gallery. His expertise spans fine photography collecting, photographic reproduction and photobook publishing. Outside the gallery, he enjoys collecting art, reading, home renovation projects and spending time outdoors with his family.
"I am excited to step into the role as Gallery Director at the new Chicago location. It feels especially meaningful to be able to connect Leica’s rich history and influence on the medium with a city that has long been a cornerstone for photographic art."
