Art Pick: Classic Photos L.A.

What started as a small group show at the Michael Dawson Gallery in 2010 has become an annual art fair celebrating both classic and contemporary photography. Marking its 10th anniversary, Classic Photographs Los Angeles at Bergamot Station gathers more than a dozen galleries from around the country ? even Paris and Shanghai ? to showcase works by such names as Andre Kertesz, Edward Weston, Eadweard Muybridge, Bruce Davidson, Garry Winogrand and Jim Marshall, some dating back to the 19th century.

With an emphasis on the West Coast, the mostly black-and-white prints give a glimpse into historic California, whether it's Big Sur, Yosemite, Venice Beach, Sunset Boulevard or the Pacific Coast Highway.

ROSEGALLERY at Bergamot Station, 2525 Michigan Ave., Santa Monica; Fri., Sept. 6, 6-8 p.m.; Sat., Sept. 7, 11 a.m.-7 p.m.; Sun. Sep. 8, 11 a.m.-5 p.m.; free. (310) 264-8440, classicphotographsla.com.
