Starting in the early 1960s, Joel Meyerowitz went out on the streets, day in, and day out, powered by his passion and devotion to photography, in order to study people and see how photographs described what they were doing. In order to catch the vibes he ranges over the streets of New York, together with Tony Ray-Jones and later with his friend Garry Winogrand. Different from Tony Ray-Jones and Garry Winogrand, Meyerowitz loaded his camera with color film in order to capture life realistically, which meant shooting in color for him. While his first photographs are often determined in a situational way, he starts, early on, putting the subject not only in the centre, but consciously leaving the centre of the picture space free and extending the picture-immanent parts over the whole frame. His dealing with picture space and composition, which consciously differ from those of his idols like Robert Frank and Cartier-Besson, create a unique style.

  • JOEL MEYEROWITZ April 18 – May 31, 2014
    JOEL MEYEROWITZ April 18 – May 31, 2014 EUROPEAN TRIP: Photographs from the Car THE EFFECT OF FRANCE New Still Lifes, 2012-2013 Joel Meyerowitz, Greece, Corfu, 1967. Gelatin silver print; printed c. 1967, 9 X 13 3/8 inches © Joel Meyerowitz, Courtesy Howard Greenberg Gallery, New York New York – Howard Greenberg Gallery will show two exhibitions of the work of Joel Meyerowitz from April 18 to May 31. European Trip: Photographs from the Car presents forty images from 1966-67 made by Meyerowitz as he traveled in France, Greece, Spain, Germany, Turkey, Bulgaria, Morocco, England, Ireland, Wales, and Scotland. The photographs have not been on view since their debut in a major New York museum exhibition in 1968. The gallery will also show Meyerowitz’s new work, The Effect of France, a series of still lifes, mostly made at his home in Provence. “During my European car trip in the 1960s, I often saw remarkable things fly by outside my window, things that would be gone had I stopped to go back to see what they were,” recalls Meyerowitz. “In a way the photographs in European Trip: Photographs from the Car comprise my first conceptual work. I thought of myself as sitting inside a moving camera on wheels, and that the window was the frame which showed me the continuous scrolling of events flying by outside. All those humble instants sped past me and left their heartbreaking beauty on film and in my memory. Life along the roadside still whizzes by at 60 miles per hour, and even though we have all kinds of advanced mechanics, the camera continues to be the only instrument that makes ordinary things seem momentous when we glimpse them in passing and recognize their innocence and beauty.” While living in Provence a few years ago, Meyerowitz was inspired to buy a few odd objects as a gift for a friend he was visiting in Tuscany.

  • Joel Meyerowitz Cape Light
    3-5 Swallow Street, London, W1B 4DE / [email protected] Joel Meyerowitz Cape Light 26 January - 20 February 2016 Beetles+Huxley are delighted to announce the exhibition of Joel Meyerowitz’s Cape Light series. The subject of 350 exhibitions in museums and galleries worldwide and two-time Guggenheim Fel- low, Meyerowitz is one of the most highly regarded photographers of the second half of the twentieth century. Alongside William Eggleston and Stephen Shore, he drove the repositioning of colour pho- Doorway to the Sea, 1982 tography from the margins to the mainstream. Timed to coincide with the recent re-release of Cape Light by the Aperture Foundation, the exhibi- tion will be the first time an extensive selection of the series has been shown in London. Meyerowitz’s first book of photographs, originally published in 1978, Cape Light depicts the coast and small towns of Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Taken with Meyerowitz’s vintage 8 x 10 Deardoff view camera, the photographs meditate on the colour, light and scale of the landscape. In contrast to the chaotic scenes of his famous street photography, Cape Light features serene, luminous landscapes that consider colour as a sensorial, evocative experience. Speaking about his move into colour photography, Meyerowitz has said that colour “describes more things”. Continuing, he explained, “when I say description, I don’t mean mere fact and the cold ac- counting of things in the frame. I really mean the sensation I get from things their surface and colour my memory of them in other conditions as well as their connotative qualities.

  • Remembering September 11: Photography As Cultural Diplomacy
    Remembering September 11: photography as cultural diplomacy LIAM KENNEDY ‘We send these chilling photographs out to the world as a remembrance and as a reminder: a remembrance of those who perished, and a reminder of our com- mitment to pursuing terrorists wherever they may try to hide.’1 With these words US Secretary of State Colin Powell launched the photographic exhibition After September 11: Images from Ground Zero in February 2002. The exhibition, made up of 27 images by the respected American photographer Joel Meyero- witz (the only photographer with unimpeded access to Ground Zero), will travel to more than 60 countries by the end of 2004. Backed by the US State Department and regionally promoted by American embassies and consulates throughout the world, this exhibition is clearly intended to shape and maintain º a public memory of the attacks on the World Trade Center and their aftermath. As such, it is a fascinating initiative in cultural diplomacy that both echoes structures of Cold War propagandizing and raises fresh questions about the role of visual culture in American foreign policy—and more particularly about the role of photography in the shadow war of representation that still ensues over the meanings of ‘9/11’. Selling America’s story to the world As an initiative in cultural diplomacy, After September 11 signals a renewal of belief and activity in a wing of American foreign policy that has long been dogged by uncertain support and has shrunk in power and size in the post-Cold War era. The organizational instability and political vulnerability of cultural diplomacy are in large part attributable to the ideological uncertainty within successive American governments about the role of art and culture in the foreign affairs of the United States.

    Exhibition History 1971 - present The following list is a record of exhibitions held at The Photographers' Gallery, London since its opening in January 1971. Exhibitions and a selection of other activities and events organised by the Print Sales, the Education Department and the Digital Programme (including the Media Wall) are listed. Please note: The archive collection is continually being catalogued and new material is discovered. This list will be updated intermittently to reflect this. It is for this reason that some exhibitions have more detail than others. Exhibitions listed as archival may contain uncredited worKs and artists. With this in mind, please be aware of the following when using the list for research purposes: – Foyer exhibitions were usually mounted last minute, and therefore there are no complete records of these brief exhibitions, where records exist they have been included in this list – The Bookstall Gallery was a small space in the bookshop, it went on to become the Print Room, and is also listed as Print Room Sales – VideoSpin was a brief series of worKs by video artists exhibited in the bookshop beginning in December 1999 – Gaps in exhibitions coincide with building and development worKs – Where beginning and end dates are the same, the exact dates have yet to be confirmed as the information is not currently available For complete accuracy, information should be verified against primary source documents in the Archive at the Photographers' Gallery.

  • The History of Photography: the Research Library of the Mack Lee
    THE HISTORY OF PHOTOGRAPHY The Research Library of the Mack Lee Gallery 2,633 titles in circa 3,140 volumes Lee Gallery Photography Research Library Comprising over 3,100 volumes of monographs, exhibition catalogues and periodicals, the Lee Gallery Photography Research Library provides an overview of the history of photography, with a focus on the nineteenth century, in particular on the first three decades after the invention photography. Strengths of the Lee Library include American, British, and French photography and photographers. The publications on French 19th- century material (numbering well over 100), include many uncommon specialized catalogues from French regional museums and galleries, on the major photographers of the time, such as Eugène Atget, Daguerre, Gustave Le Gray, Charles Marville, Félix Nadar, Charles Nègre, and others. In addition, it is noteworthy that the library includes many small exhibition catalogues, which are often the only publication on specific photographers’ work, providing invaluable research material. The major developments and evolutions in the history of photography are covered, including numerous titles on the pioneers of photography and photographic processes such as daguerreotypes, calotypes, and the invention of negative-positive photography. The Lee Gallery Library has great depth in the Pictorialist Photography aesthetic movement, the Photo- Secession and the circle of Alfred Stieglitz, as evidenced by the numerous titles on American photography of the early 20th-century. This is supplemented by concentrations of books on the photography of the American Civil War and the exploration of the American West. Photojournalism is also well represented, from war documentary to Farm Security Administration and LIFE photography.

  • Two Exhibitons by Joel Meyerowitz
    TWO EXHIBITONS BY JOEL MEYEROWITZ BETWEEN THE DOG AND THE WOLF and MORANDI, CÉZANNE AND ME HOWARD GREENBERG GALLERY September 7 – October 21, 2017 Joel Meyerowitz, Provincetown, Massachusetts, 1977 Copyright Joel Meyerowitz, courtesy Howard Greenberg Gallery, New York NEW YORK – Two exhibitions of photographs by Joel Meyerowitz will be on view at Howard Greenberg Gallery from September 7 to October 21, 2017. Between the Dog and the Wolf presents images from the 1970s and 80s made in those mysterious moments around dusk. Many of the works will be on display for the first time. Morandi, Cézanne and Me surveys Meyerowitz’s recent still lifes of objects from Paul Cézanne’s studio in Aix-en-Provence and Giorgio Morandi’s in Bologna. The exhibitions will open with a reception on September 7, from 6 to 8 p.m. Two new books of photographs by Meyerowitz are to be published: Joel Meyerowitz: Cézanne’s Objects (Damiani, October 2017) and Joel Meyerowitz: Where I Find Myself: A Lifetime Retrospective (Laurence King, January 2018). The exhibition title Between the Dog and the Wolf is a translation of a common French expression “Entre chien et loup,” which refers to oncoming twilight. As Meyerowitz notes, “It seemed to me that the French liken the twilight to the notion of the tame and the savage, the known and the unknown, where that special moment of the fading of the light offers us an entrance into the place where our senses might fail us slightly, making us vulnerable to the vagaries of our imagination.” The majority of the photographs in the exhibition are from a period when Meyerowitz was spending summers on Cape Cod and had just begun working with an 8x10 view camera.

By Peter Schjeldahl “Yucatán, Mexico, 1990.” A search for fresh astonishments has kept Shore peripatetic. Courtesy the artist / 303 Gallery tephen Shore, the subject of an immersive and staggeringly charming retrospective S at the Museum of Modern Art, is my favorite American photographer of the past https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/12/11/stephen-shores-offbeat-sublimities 1/7 12/4/2017 Stephen Shore’s Offbeat Sublimities | The New Yorker half century. This is not purely a judgment of quality. Shore has peers in a generation that, in the nineteen-seventies, stormed to eminence with color lm, which art photographers had long disdained, and, often, with a detached scrutiny of suburban sprawl, woebegone towns, touristed nature, cars (always cars), and other familiar and banal, accidentally beautiful, cross-country phenomena. The closest to Shore, in a cohort that includes Joel Meyerowitz, Joel Sternfeld, and Richard Misrach, is his friend William Eggleston, the raffish Southern aristocrat who has made pictures unbeatably intense and iconic: epiphanies triggered by the hues and textures of a stranded tricycle, say, or of a faded billboard in a scrubby eld. While similarly alert to offbeat sublimities, Shore is a New Yorker more receptive than marauding in attitude. I fancy that Eggleston is the cavalier Mephistopheles of American color photography, and Shore the discreet angel Gabriel.
