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. -
Memphis, Eggleston, About 1965
J. Paul Getty Museum Education Department Exploring Photographs Information and Questions for Teaching Memphis, William Eggleston Memphis William Eggleston American, Memphis, Tennessee, about 1965–1970 Gelatin silver print 9 1/2 x 6 1/4 in. 2002.38.8 William Eggleston made this image from a two-person table in a Memphis diner; the collection of shakers and condiment jars on the tabletop in front of him are blurred by the camera's close proximity. Eggleston focused on an older woman having coffee at the next table, who returns his gaze. A bright stripe on the wall behind her and a nearby neon clock sign also vie for the camera's attention. The sign's message, "Payroll checks cashed free," addresses the diner's working-class patrons—a friendly message in an alienating interior. Diners are ubiquitous places, fixtures of American road culture where inexpensive food can be had quickly. The diner is also an iconic subject of twentieth-century American art; it featured in Edward Hopper's paintings of the 1930s and Robert Frank's photographs in The Americans, published in the 1950s. Eggleston's image extends their theme of lone city-dwellers sitting forlornly in harshly lit © Eggleston Artistic Trust eating establishments, looking as if they are trapped there. About the Artist William Eggleston (American, b. 1939) William Eggleston assumes a neutral gaze and creates his art from commonplace subjects: a farmer's muddy Ford truck, a red ceiling in a friend's house, the contents of his own refrigerator. In his work, Eggleston photographs "democratically"—literally photographing the world around him. -
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. -

Ansel Adams by Ross Loeser February 2010
Ansel Adams By Ross Loeser February 2010 Ansel Adams is one of the most fascinating people of the 20th Century… a photography pioneer whose art captured the imagination of millions of ordinary people. Most of the information in this paper is from his autobiography – written in the last five years of his life. I found the book a joy to read. Adams (1902-1984) was born in San Francisco and lived most of his life in that area. For his last 22 years he lived in Carmel Highlands. Some key formative events in his early life were: In 1916, when he was 14, he influenced his family to go on vacation in Yosemite after reading the book, In the Heart of the Sierras by J.M. Hutchens. During that trip, he received his first camera – a Kodak Box Brownie. He returned to Yosemite every year of his life thereafter.1 He was hired as a “darkroom monkey” by a neighbor who operated a photo finishing business in 1917, which enabled him to learn about making photographic prints. As he grew up, one major focus was music – the piano. “By 1923 I was a budding professional pianist…”2 On a bright spring Yosemite day in 1927, Adams made a photograph that was to “change my understanding of the medium.” The picture was of Half Dome, and titled “Monolith, The Face of Half Dome.” The full story is included later in this paper, but, in a nutshell, he captured how he felt about the scene, not how it actually appeared (e.g. -

JAN FEB MAR 2018 FROM THE DIRECTOR A collaborative effort between Findley Elementary School students, their teacher Lisa Hesse, and artist Dave Eppley, whose major site-specific installation is included in the In late September, The Links, Drawing in Space exhibition, resulted in Mile-a-Minute Rainbow Incorporated, a not-for-profit corporation Ivy, 2017, being installed on the Richard Meier building during of African-American women leaders, held the month of November. their 60th anniversary celebration at the Art Center. The evening also showcased the many works by African-American artists in our permanent collections. It was an especially rewarding collaboration for everyone involved. The Links is now continuing this special partnership with a gift of $1,000 to support an education- based internship at the Art Center in 2018 for African-American students. The Art Center, like many museums across the country, is striving to introduce young persons of color to employment in the field in an attempt to increase their numbers in the museum career pipeline. This project will help do so. Another exciting partnership occurred in October with the Iowa Civil Rights Commission. The group held a board meeting at the Art Center where the members toured our recent exhibition, I, too, am America, with Assistant Curator Jared Ledesma. Later in October, the Iowa Civil Rights Commission organized a public symposium, which featured a break-out session entitled, I, too, am America, inspired by the show. This is a wonderful example of the power of art to inspire, illuminate understanding, and engage broad audiences. In early November, the Art Center celebrated the creation of a temporary, large-scale mural on the exterior of the Richard Meier building with a public reception. -
Ag 1 Center for Creative Photography
AG 1 CENTER FOR CREATIVE PHOTOGRAPHY DESCRIPTION Records, 1975 - , of the Center for Creative Photography. Includes records pertaining to all phases of the Center's operation -- exhibitions, publications, acquisitions, and administrative activities -- which evidence the evolution of the Center through its growth in programs and collections. The collection is still active. 206.5 linear feet. PROVENANCE The archives of the CCP were first brought together in 1983 by archivist, Charles Lamb, who organized and described them. After 1983, records have been transferred from the originating offices to the Research Center at the end of each fiscal year. RESTRICTIONS As an institution funded by the State of Arizona, the Center's records are public and are open to research with a few exceptions. All personnel files are restricted. Some confidential correspondence is restricted. Some financial records are restricted. Consult the Archivist for further information. AG 1 Center for Creative Photography SCOPE AND CONTENT The quality and quantity of documentation in the Director's Subject Files make them central to an understanding of CCP activities. In the Center's early years (1975 - ca.1979), these files represented the entirety of CCP records, with all staff members putting their records in these files. Although the Center's records have become more dispersed since 1979, it is important to check the Director's Subject Files, in addition to other series that might seem more relevant, when searching for records pertaining to any CCP activities. The Center's active exhibition and publication programs are well documented by printed materials (publications, posters, exhibition announcements, checklists, etc.), correspondence, press releases, news clippings, and other records. -
The Museum of Modern Art
The Museum of Modern Art For Immediate Release January 1988 FACT SHEET TITLE GARRY WINOGRAND DATES May 15 - August 16, 1988 ORGANIZATION John Szarkowski, Director, Department of Photography, The Museum of Modern Art SPONSORSHIP The exhibition and its accompanying publication are part of the Springs Industries Series on the Art of Photography at The Museum of Modern Art and are generously supported by a grant from Springs Industries, Inc. Additional support for the exhibition has been provided for by the National Endowment for the Arts. CONTENT This retrospective of the photography of Garry Winogrand (1930-1984), perhaps the most influential photographer of his generation, is comprised of more than 200 photographs. The exhibition is presented in nine segments: Eisenhower Years; The Street; Women; The Zoo; On the Road; The Sixties, Etc.; The Fort Worth Fat Stock Show and Rodeo; Airport; and Unfinished Work. The last section shows a fragment of the work that was unedited at the time of his death. This work, which exceeded one-third of a million exposures, was developed posthumously, aided by a grant to the Museum from Springs Industries, Inc. The Museum first exhibited a substantial body of Winogrand's work in 1962 in FIVE UNRELATED PHOTOGRAPHERS. This was followed by the influential NEW DOCUMENTS (1967), with Lee Friedlander and Diane Arbus; THE ANIMALS (1969-70), his first one-man show; and PUBLIC RELATIONS (1977), which generated an exceptional range of critical opinion. The complexity of Winogrand's photographs and his disregard for conventional ideas of good design resulted 1n what looked to many like extraordinarily busy snapshots.
