DANIEL LEE POSTAER is an American artist whose photographs reside in permanent museum collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the High Museum of Art, the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco, Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco and Pier 24 Photography. Postaer’s wide scale prints examine his relationship and experience with time, the photographic pause, and the ways in which humanity reconciles and resists modernity. His debut monograph, ‘Mother’s Land,’ features his series of Chinese photographs taken between 2014 and 2019, published in November 2025 by Deadbeat Club. Daniel was the Artist-in-Residence with RiverLA from 2014 to 2018, and his award-winning photographs have been exhibited nationally and internationally in solo and group exhibitions. Postaer’s Boomtown series of San Francisco photographs was featured in the main gallery of Pier 24 as part of the exhibition Looking Forward. Currently, his work is on view at The de Young Museum in the group show ‘Boom and Bust: Photographing Northern California.’ His work is also now featured in a solo Mother’s Land exhibition at Deadbeat Club Galleries, located at The Reef in Los Angeles.
