Biographical / Historical Arthur Tress (Nov. 24, 1940- ) has had an extremely active career and is well published, with much of his work incorporating his role as both director and photographer. His photographs engage a rich visual symbolism, often presenting dream-like, childhood states. He has also documented San Francisco in the 1960s and composed and photographed fantasy toy stage settings, such as the Teapot Opera. Over his career his work has been constantly inventive, often playful, always psychologically probing. Born in Brooklyn in 1940, Tress began his photography career as a teenager, photographing the dilapidated buildings and denizens of Coney Island. Early on he developed an interest in ethnographic photography and the production of photographic narratives, which led to a commission from the New York State Council on the Arts to produce Open space in the inner city; ecology and the urban environment (1971). His book, The Dream collector (1972), with staged photographic work based on his interviews with children and employing these same children to perform their dreams is now considered a classic in the photobook literature. With Theater of the mind (1976) Tress moved to adult fantasies and begins a period of overtly erotic work. In Facing up (alternatively titled Phallic phantasy, (1980), Tress moved to overtly gay photographic work. In more recent years Tress has continued in the “directorial mode,” and worked in color with miniature stage settings, producing The Teapot opera and the Fish tank sonata. He continues to actively photograph and exhibit. Immediate Source of Acquisition Anonymous gift ; 2017. Accession MSS 2017-111.

This book is devoted to a recently discovered series of photographs made in 1964 by Arthur Tress, who was at the time an unknown artist at the very beginning of a long and distinguished career. Tress arrived at an opportune moment in the city’s history, a year marked by civil rights demonstrations and political pageantry never before seen in this part of the country. With a unique sensibility perfectly attuned to this quirky metropolis, he set about to capture the colorful This striking catalogue was overseen by the spectacle of San Francisco with his camera, Museums’ director of publications, Karen Levine, producing more than nine hundred negatives in with the assistance of managing editor Leslie little more than four months.

    MUSE Honoring The Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation Mickalene Thomas and Racquel Chevremont 1 2019 Aperture Gala MUSE Monday, June 3 Honoring The Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation Mickalene Thomas and Racquel Chevremont Follow @aperturefnd and #ApertureGala 3 Honorees The Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation The Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation was established by Robert Mapplethorpe in 1988, the year before his death, to protect his work, advance his creative vision, and promote the causes he cared about. Serving as the first president on its board of trustees, he established mandates of furthering the recognition of photography as an art form deserving the same respect as painting and sculpture, and supporting AIDS and HIV medical research. In keeping with Mapplethorpe’s wishes, The Mapplethorpe Foundation has provided support for photography programming at the institutional level, including exhibitions, acquisitions, and publications—in the form of financial grants or gifts of original Mapplethorpe artworks—at art institutions ranging from the world’s major art museums to small university galleries. It also continues to support AIDS and HIV medical research, prevention, and education. The Foundation is dedicated to protecting and expanding Mapplethorpe’s artistic legacy by publishing books and encouraging museum exhibitions of his work all over the world. The Mapplethorpe Foundation first supported Aperture in 1991 with a grant for Sally Mann: Immediate Family, in addition to supporting projects with Zanele Muholi, Hank Willis Thomas, Richard Renaldi, Mickalene Thomas, and George Dureau. Mickalene Thomas and Racquel Chevremont Mickalene Thomas (born in Camden, New Jersey, 1971) earned her BFA in painting at Pratt Institute in 2000 and an MFA at the Yale University School of Art in 2002.
