    PRESS RELEASE Contact : Amy Wentz Ruder Finn Arts & Communications Counselors [email protected] / 212-715-1551 Limited Edition Platinum Prints of Iconic Images by Robert Capa, Henri Cartier-Bresson, George Rodger and David Seymour to be Published in Unique Hand-Bound Collector’s Book Magnum Founders, In Celebration of Sixty Years Provides Collectors Once-in-a-Lifetime Opportunity to Own Part of Photographic History Santa Barbara, California, June 6, 2007 – Verso Limited Editions, a publisher of handcrafted books that celebrate the work of significant photographers, announced the September 2007 publication of Magnum Founders, In Celebration of Sixty Years . Magnum Founders will include twelve bound and one free-standing rare platinum, estate-stamped prints of iconic images by four visionary photographers who influenced the course of modern photographic history – Robert Capa, Henri Cartier-Bresson, George Rodger and David “Chim” Seymour. The collector’s book celebrates the 60 th anniversary of Magnum Photos, a photographic co- operative founded by these four men and owned by its photographer-members. Capa, Cartier- Bresson, Rodger and Seymour created Magnum in 1947 to reflect their independent natures as both people and photographers – the idiosyncratic mix of reporter and artist that continues to define Magnum today. The first copy of Magnum Founders will be privately unveiled on Thursday, June 21 at the Museum of Modern Art, New York – birthplace of Magnum Photos – during the “Magnum Festival,” a month-long series of events celebrating the art of documentary photography. Magnum Founders will also be on view to the public at the Howard Greenberg Gallery, 41 East 52 nd St., New York, beginning on Friday, June 22.

  • Alec Soth's Journey: Materiality and Time Emily Elizabeth Greer
    Alec Soth’s Journey: Materiality and Time Emily Elizabeth Greer Introduction The photographer Alec Soth is known for series of images and publications that encapsulate his travels through time and place within the American landscape. Each grouping of photographs uses a specific medium and geographical orientation in order to explore unique journeys and themes, such as the loneliness and banality of strangers in a public park, religion and debauchery in the Mississippi Delta, and the isolation of hermits in the valleys of rural Montana. Yet how are we to understand the place of these smaller journeys within Soth’s larger artistic career? How are these publications and series connected to one another, and how do they evolve and change? Here, I will consider these questions as they relate to the specific materials within Soth’s work. Using material properties as a framework illuminates the way in which each series illustrates these specific themes, and also how each grouping of images holds a significant place within the artist’s larger photographic oeuvre. Throughout Alec Soth’s career, his movement between mediums has evolved in a manner that mirrors the progression of themes and subject matter within his larger body of work as a whole. From his earliest photographic forays in black and white film to his most recent digital video projects, Soth creates images that depict a meandering passage through time and place.1 His portraits, still lifes, and landscapes work together to suggest what one might call a stream of conscious wandering. The chronological progression of materiality in his works, from early black and white photography to large format 8x10 color images to more recent explorations in digital photography and film, illuminates the way in which each medium is used to tell a story of temporality and loneliness within the American landscape.

    The Dark Highway Paul Wenham-Clarke Curated by Aaron Schuman Supporting essay by Paul Allen THE ARTIST'S SPACE “I started out as a commercial photographer working for corporate clients such as British Telecom, Hitachi and Hoover, and was one of the first practitioners to embrace the opportunities and potential of digital technologies. This activity generally involved me in being creative in response to the demands of others and producing short-lived outcomes with no social impact beyond generating sales. Throughout this time I was shooting small personal projects about other people’s lives, from documenting the last employees in a bus station before it was knocked down to make way for a shopping mall, to recording the fading charm of Weymouth’s seafront. The shift was realising that I wanted to undertake a more substantial piece of work about a subject of social importance; the result was When Lives Collide. Subsequent projects continued to explore ideas about the road that ultimately led to an aspect of it that was concerned with how I felt about the subject matter rather than it being documentary research. Sacrifice the Birdsong came from a compulsion to explore a lifelong interest in wildlife and mourn its loss on our roads through images that engage the public rather than the art community alone. The Dark Highway is a summary of these works and a record of my changing working processes.” Paul Wenham-Clarke, 2014 Megan on a cold minus 5 degree morning, from The Westway 3 STYLES, STRATEGIES AND SUBJECTS CURATOR'S VIEWPOINT n one sense, The Dark Highway is a somewhat misleading title, in that it implies that the photographic works included in this exhibition are situated in the middle Iof a road, albeit an ominous and metaphoric one.
