Vickery, Atkins & Torrey opened in San Francisco on Grant Avenue in 1888. After its first location was destroyed in the 1906 earthquake, the firm relocated to 550 Sutter Street. While the gallery primarily showed etchings and paintings, including Duchamp's Nu descendant un escalier n° 2, it also highlighted the work of local photographers Edward Weston, Arnold Genthe, and Ansel Adams.
