Photo by Katey Barrett<\/strong><\/p>\n

LEXINGTON, KY (Dec. 5, 2014)<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 The Keeneland Library has acquired the collection of prominent Southern California equine photographer Katey Barrett. The material includes some 12,000 color slides, as well as print photographs and race track programs.<\/p>\n

\u201cKatey is a true pioneer in Turf photography, and her work is a great blend of artistry and documentation,\u201d Keeneland Library Director Becky Ryder said. \u201cThe material spans the 1970s to the present and picks up after the Keeneland Library\u2019s other photography collections end. It is the Library\u2019s first collection of color photography and our first that comprehensively documents West Coast racing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m so happy because I know the work will be archived and will be taken care of,\u201d Barrett said of the project.<\/p>\n

Now in her early 80s, Barrett grew up in Hibbing, Minn., and after college moved to Hollywood with an eye on show business. She appeared in episodes of such programs as \u201cMy Three Sons,\u201d \u201cBonanza\u201d and \u201cDragnet\u201d and in the motion picture \u201cThe Shakiest Gun in the West.\u201d<\/p>\n

While a production assistant on \u201cMission Impossible,\u201d Barrett wanted to increase her knowledge of camera work and photography, so she purchased an inexpensive 35-mm camera and taught herself the basics. That led to freelance photography jobs from her Hollywood friends, some of whom owned show jumpers. TV producer and racing enthusiast Ed Friendly introduced Barrett to Santa Anita, where she became enamored with the track\u2019s unique downhill turf course that grew to be a favorite subject. She became known for her unusual photographs that captured the movement, power and beauty of the horse.<\/p>\n

The Keeneland Library, the world\u2019s largest repository of materials on the Thoroughbred, was established in 1939 and serves fans and researchers who value and enjoy Thoroughbred racing and its history. In addition to thousands of books and newspaper and magazine articles, Library holdings include the negative collections of photographers Charles Christian Cook and Bert Morgan; archives of\u00a0Daily Racing Form<\/em>; caricatures and cartoons by Pierre Bellocq (\u201cPeb\u201d); and the library of\u00a0Thoroughbred Times<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The Library also lends artifacts to area museums, hosts a lecture series with authors of recently released books and works to expand the collection and its availability to the public.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
