  • Friedlander Dog's Best Friend PR March 2019
    Andrew Smith Gallery Arizona, LLC. Masterpieces of Photography LEE FRIEDLANDER SHOW TITLE: Dog’s Best Friend Dates: April 27 - June 15, 2019 Artist’s Reception: DATE/TIME: Saturday April 27, 2019 2-4 p.m. “I think dogs are happy because people feed them fancy food, treat them nicely, pedicure and wash them, take them into their homes.” Lee Friedlander Andrew Smith Gallery, in its new location at 439 N. 6th Ave., Suite 179, Tucson, Arizona 85705, opens an exhibit by the eminent American photographer Lee Friedlander. The exhibit, Dog’s Best Friend, contains 18 prints of dogs and their owners, one of Friedlander’s ongoing “pet projects.” Lee and Maria Friedlander will attend the opening on Saturday, April 27, 2019 from 2 to 4 p.m., where the public is invited to visit with America’s most celebrated photographer and view “the dogs.” The exhibit continues through June 15, 2019. Lee Friedlander is one of America’s legendary photographers. Now in his eighties, he still photographs and makes his own prints in the darkroom as he has been doing for 60 years. In the 1950s he began documenting what he called “the American social landscape,” making pictures that showed how the camera sees reality (different from how the eye sees). In his layered compositions, what are normally understood to be separate objects; buildings, window displays, people, cars, etc., are perpetually interacting with reflective, opaque and transparent surfaces that distort, fragment and bring about surprising, often humorous conjunctions. Friedlander has been photographing virtually non-stop these many decades, expanding the vocabulary of such traditional artistic themes as family, nudes, gardens, trees, self-portraits, landscapes, cityscapes, laborers, artists, jazz musicians, cars, graffiti, statues, parks, advertising signs, and animals.

  • How I Learned to See: an (Ongoing) Education in Pictures
    For immediate release How I Learned to See: An (Ongoing) Education In Pictures Curated by Hanya Yanagihara Fraenkel Gallery 49 Geary Street, San Francisco June 30 – August 20, 2016 Fraenkel Gallery is pleased to present How I Learned to See: An (Ongoing) Education in Pictures, Curated by Hanya Yanagihara, from June 30 – August 20, 2016, at 49 Geary Street. The exhibition brings together a varied array of photographs that Yanagihara has chosen for their significance to her growth as an artist. The overarching theme is one of a writer looking deeply at other artists’ creative work—specifically, photographs—as a process of learning and discovery. Hanya Yanagihara is an American novelist whose most recent book, A Little Life, was a finalist for the 2015 National Book Award and shortlisted for the 2015 Man Booker Prize and the 2016 Baileys Prize for Fiction. She has been a periodic visitor to Fraenkel Gallery for 17 years. Yanagihara remarked: The challenge for any artist, in any medium, is to find work that inspires her to re-see the things and people and places she thought she knew or understood. So much of my artistic development is directly linked to the images and photographers I encountered through years of visiting Fraenkel Gallery; the work here has, in ways both direct and not, influenced my own fiction. How I Learned to See is organized by six sections or “chapters” on the subjects of loneliness, love, aging, solitude, beauty, and discovery. Yanagihara has selected an idiosyncratic mix, with iconic and less familiar works by 12 artists: Robert Adams, Diane Arbus, Elisheva Biernoff, Harry Callahan, Lee Friedlander, Nan Goldin, Katy Grannan, Peter Hujar, Ralph Eugene Meatyard, Richard Misrach, Nicholas Nixon, Alec Soth, and Hiroshi Sugimoto.

On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the book's original publication 15 May , a new edition was published by Steidl. As he has done for every edition of The Americans , Frank changed the cropping of many of the photographs, usually including more information, and two slightly different photographs were used. Much of the criticism Frank faced was as well related to his photojournalistic style, wherein the immediacy of the hand-held camera introduced technical imperfections into the resulting images. Becker has written about The Americans as social analysis:. Help Learn to edit Community portal Recent changes Upload file. Where are we going? It could seem as if Frank threw his Leica into the world and let it catch what it could, which happened, without fail, to be something exciting—fascination, pain, hilarity, disgust, longing.

  • The Photograph Collector Information, Opinion, and Advice for Collectors, Curators, and Dealers N E W S L T R
    THE PHOTOGRAPH COLLECTOR INFORMATION, OPINION, AND ADVICE FOR COLLECTORS, CURATORS, AND DEALERS N E W S L T R Volume XLI, Nos. 7 & 8 Summer 2020 AUCTION REPORTS AND PREVIEWS IN THE AGE OF COVID-19 by Stephen Perloff Edward Burtynsky: Colorado River Delta #2, Near San Felipe, Baja, Mexico, 2011 ($15,000–$25,000) sold well above estimate for $52,500 at Christie’s, New York City. SPRING AUCTION REPORT continued Peter Beard: But past who can recall or done undo (Paradise Lost), 1977 ($70,000–$100,000) found a buyer at $118,750 at Christie’s, New York City. Christie’s online Photographs sale ending June 3 totaled $2,422,125 with a 50% buy-in rate. There were a few good results, but overall this must have been a disappointment to both Chris- tie’s and its consignors. In these unprecedented times this is not a reflection of just Christie’s, but a sober reflection on the state of the photography market. Clearly safe bets like Irving Penn and Peter Beard were at the top of the heap, but at prices well below the highs of just a year or two ago. Still, it is heartening to see that Penn’s Small Trades series is getting the recognition that his other series have had. The top ten were: • Peter Beard: But past who can recall or done undo (Paradise Lost), 1977 ($70,000– $100,000) at $118,750 • Irving Penn: Rag and Bone Man, London, 1951 ($40,000–$60,000) at $106,250 Irving Penn: Rag and Bone Man, London, 1951 IN THIS ISSUE ($40,000–$60,000) collected a bid of $106,250 at Christie’s, New York City.

  • Lee Friedlander Luhring Augustine Press Release 2020
    Lee Friedlander September 12 – October 24, 2020 Luhring Augustine is pleased to announce a solo exhibition of acclaimed photographer Lee Friedlander, opening in our Chelsea location on September 12. The exhibition is Friedlander’s first with Luhring Augustine and his first New York gallery show since 2013. The presentation will highlight Western Landscapes (2016), produced after the artist’s major retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art in 2005. The second gallery will feature a selection of work from other series, such as the rarely exhibited bodies of work Dressed Up: New York Fashion Week (2015) and Chain Link (2017), as well as choice photographs from America by Car (2010). Western Landscapes includes 190 images from his road trips through the 1990s and 2000s. Many of the black and white square-format photographs interweave background and foreground into cohesive images of pattern and texture; others give breadth to expansive vistas and atmosphere. Friedlander focuses on moments of overlap between the mundane and the beatific, the dramatic and the banal. He applies his trademark eye for contradiction to these sweeping, sublime landscapes by shooting from unexpected perspectives, clashing grandeur with the prosaic, and overturning the viewer’s expectation of nature’s majesty and splendor. The selection will underscore the artist’s singular compositional style, offering an overview of the wide-ranging subjects on which the photographer has trained his lens. From cityscapes and portraiture, to still lifes and landscapes, the images reveal the overlaps and intersections between these motifs which Friedlander skillfully and deliberately merges within a single frame. Friedlander’s vast oeuvre is marked by a voracious and nonhierarchical cataloguing of visual information.

  • Street Photography – for the Purist Words & Photos by Chris Weeks
    Street Photography – For the Purist words & photos by Chris Weeks forwards with photos by: Severin Koller – Austria Michael Kaiser – Germany Matthew Craig – United States of America Rainer Pawellek – France Deborah Delasio – Italy Errol Lyons-Rainey – United Kingdom Darren Abate – United States of America Massimiliano Mortillaro – Czech Republic Bernhard Wolf – Austria Patrick Kahn – Los Angeles/Paris Forward by Severin Koller – Austria (edited by Chris Weeks) When I started photography about two years ago I had a compact digital camera with no mentionable resolution. I soon started to focus on structures and abstract photography because anything else wasn't possible due to the low quality. It soon led me to architectural photography, which turned out to be the subject and style I master the best. It also makes my living at the moment. With that small digital camera, street photography were just ridiculous attempts that never turned out as they should have. As I investigated new photographic gear about a year ago, I still had the opinion that digital is the way … the future. Last summer I got the Canon Eos 1Ds Mark II, which I use for my commissions and some conceptual and architectural work. I used it for personal work sometimes as well. The moments you want to make should be personal, intimate, close and unobtrusive photos … you can throw these 7000 bucks in the rubbish bin !! My point is … I fell in love with street photography the moment I started analogue photography. I never took portraits. I never did journalism. I never dared to do street photography the classic way.

  • Gian Paolo Barbieri? Perché, Mai? Al Culmine Di Un Anno Di Appuntamenti Fotografici Organizzati, Allestiti E Svolti Sotto L’Egida Di Mat2019
    In forma di prologo Raramente, mi esprimo in prima persona, preferendo frequentare la forma impersonale del “noi”. Non lo faccio per evitare eventuali responsabilità di e dalla scrittura, ma per una malaugurata assenza di autoreferenzialità (e, forse, di terribile timidezza), che antepone l’argomento affrontato e trattato a qualsivoglia personalismo, o presunto tale. Però, qui e oggi, per mille e mille motivi, certamente tutti leciti e plausibili, scrivo in prima persona singolare: “io”, invece di “noi”. Lo faccio in triplice rispetto; in questo ordine, in questa graduatoria: anzitutto, verso il pubblico, referente principale, che ha così modo di percepire l’intimità delle considerazioni espresse; quindi, per l’autore Gian Paolo Barbieri, affinché sappia a chi riferirsi individualmente, magari sdegnandosi senza sbagliare mira; infine, di coloro con i quali ho condiviso e condivido il cammino di Coscienza dell’Uomo, all’interno del cui contenitore viene allestita l’attuale selezione Tahiti Tattoos, che sono all’oscuro del contenuto che sto per esprimere, e dal quale hanno così modo di prendere probabili distanze. M.R. Gian Paolo Barbieri? Perché, mai? Al culmine di un anno di appuntamenti fotografici organizzati, allestiti e svolti sotto l’egida di Mat2019. Coscienza dell’Uomo potrebbe anche risultare chiaro, perché chiarito a lettere schiette e sincere, oltre che energiche, determinate ed evidenti. Perfino, coraggiose.Coscienza dell’Uomo ha scartato a lato convenzioni e retoriche che, almeno qui da noi, in Italia, nel nostro paese, inquinano la riflessione sulla Fotografia, qualsiasi cosa questa significhi per ciascuno di noi. Dunque, Coscienza in quanto tale e non dipendente dall’esuberante apparenza dei soggetti avvicinati e fotografati.
