These primordial substances, which make possible all life on earth, are the subject of Hiroshi Sugimoto’s Seascapes series. For over thirty years, Sugimoto has traveled the world photograph- ing its seas, producing a body of work that is an extended medita- tion on the passage of time and the natural history of the earth. Sugimoto has called photography the “fossilization of time,” and the Seascapes photographs simultaneously capture a discrete mo- ment in time but also evoke a feeling of timelessness. This volume, the second in a series of books on Sugimoto’s art, presents the com- plete series of over 200 Seascapes, some of which have never before been reproduced. All are identical in format, with the horizon line precisely bifurcating each image, though at times the sea and sky almost merge into one seamless unit. Each photograph captures a moment when the sea is placid, almost flat. Within this strict format, however, he has created a limitless array of portraits of his subjects. An essay by Munesuke Mita, Professor of Sociology at the University of Tokyo, examines contemporary art through a socio- logical lens, comparing the recent history of art with mathematical predictions of population growth.

Yet in this case the photographer is Dennis Hopper and the photographs, remarkably, are never before published. Shot in Taos, New Mexico, where Hopper was based following the production of Easy Rider in the late 60s, the series was tak- en with disposable cameras and developed in drugstore photo labs. This clothbound collection documents Hopper’s friends and family among the ruins and open vistas of the desert land- scape, female nudes in shadowy interiors, road trips to and from his home state of Kansas and impromptu still lifes of discarded objects. These images, capturing iconic individuals, wide-open Western terrain and drug-addled fun, create a captivating view of the 60s and 70s that combines political idealism and opti- mism with California cool. Dennis Hopper(1936–2010) was born in Dodge City, Kansas. He first appeared on television in 1954, and quickly became a cult actor, known for films such asRebel Without a Cause (1955), Easy Rider (1969), The American Friend (1977), Apocalypse Now (1979), Blue Velvet (1986) and Hoosiers (1986). In 1988, he directed the critically acclaimed Colors.

Here Meyerowitz looked at, touched, studied, and connected with the more than 250 objects that Morandi painted. Using only the warm natural light in the room, he photographed Morandi’s objects: vases, shells, pigment-filled bottles, silk flowers, tins, funnels, watering cans. In the photographs, each object sits on Morandi’s table, which still bears the marks the painter drew to set the positions of his subjects. In the background is the paper that the artist left on the wall, now brittle and yellow with age. Meyerowitz’s portraits of these dusty, aged objects are not only works of art themselves, but they offer insight into the humble subjects that Morandi transformed into his subtle and luminous paintings.

  • List of Errors Something Personal
    Avedon: Something Personal, list of errors in formation in consecutive order 1 1. Revlon’s “Wine with Everything” (with Rene Russo) is years later than this 1975/6 New Year’s Eve time period. 2. Avedon did not have “silvery” hair in this time period (1975). From his 1975 passport: hair “black” with accompanying photo. 3. The whole 1975/6 New Year’s Eve scene in the book is counter to Stevens’ 2009 recorded oral history that she recorded for The Richard Avedon Foundation. 4. Avedon did not have a personal relationship with Marilyn Monroe, nor did he have her personal phone numbers (though he did have fictitious ones – from his novel). 5. The Almay model from the late 1960s is not Swedish, and Norma Stevens (then Norma Gottlieb Bodine) did not participate on any Almay shoot with Avedon in the late 1960s. 6. Stevens’ positive response to the Saran Wrapped model in the book is 100% counter to her 2009 recorded account (“it was just horrible and the client hated it, and I hated it.” 7. Suzy Parker’s was not the first belly button in an American high fashion magazine. 8. Christina Paolozzi’s bared breasts were not the first in an American high fashion magazine – not even for Avedon. 9. Naty and Ana-Maria Abascal were not part of a ménage à trois (they are twin sisters). 10. donyale Luna is not the first haute-couture “black beauty,” not even for Avedon. 11. With regard to Stevens’ “innumerable” Avedons she claims she owns, this statement runs counter to legal testimony she gave during an Avedon Foundation forensic audit in 2009 claiming that she owned almost no Avedons.

Catalogue by Linda Zillman, M.A., History of Photography; Design & Layout: Dick Harrison The Warhol Photographs The Owl Undated 5” x 7” black and white print It is sheer luck that we received this photo, UMPI’s owl mascot, from the Warhol Foundation. We have made the pairing of The Owl and The Pussycat in honor of Edward Lear’s poem and with the thought that it is just the kind of association Warhol would have made. In 1978 Martha Graham created a dance entitled The Owl and the Pussycat using the words from Lear’s famous poem. Rudolph Nureyev danced and Liza Minnelli was the narrator. The Owl and the Pussycat played at Covent Garden and in New York City. ( Diaries, p. 229-230) Andy was present at the Covent Garden opening on July 23, 1979. ( Diaries, p. 230) Both The Owl and The Pussycat share the same white background as well as interesting shadows in the photographs. Not exactly dancing “by the light of the moon,” as Lear wrote, but use your imagination! The Warhol Photographs The Pussycat Undated 5” x 7” black and white print In 1976, Andy Warhol did an acrylic and silkscreen ink on canvas portrait of a cat.

  • Studio 54: Night Magic
    NIGHT MAGI C EN TLISG CRISRANH PT #Studio54AGO Irina Moore West Studio 54: Night Magic Known for its celebrity-studded parties, extravagant décor, and dazzling disco nights, the nightclub Studio 54 offered a magical escape from the turbulent 1970s in America. At Studio 54, political scandal, financial collapse, and the aftermath of the Vietnam War could be forgotten; race, sexuality, and creed didn’t matter. People from all walKs of life—from ordinary people to A-list celebrities—gathered together to dance the night away. This exhibition tells the story of how two Brooklyn-born entrepreneurs transformed a former Manhattan opera house and television studio into one of the world’s most legendary nightclubs. The innovative scenery and soundscapes of this disco hotspot are represented here in couture and street fashion, photographs, films, and ephemera. Though its doors were open for less than three years (from April 1977 to February 1980), Studio 54 left a glittering impression on popular culture and changed nightlife forever. Studio 54: Night Magic is organized by the BrooKlyn Museum. It is curated by Matthew YokobosKy, Senior Curator of Fashion and Material Culture, BrooKlyn Museum.
