DIANE ARBUS: FAHEY / KLEIN GALLERY

© The Estate of Diane Arbus, LLC

"There's a kind of power thing about the camera. I mean everyone knows you've got some edge. You're carrying some magic which does something to them. It fixes them in a way." –Diane Arbus

  

In 1967, Diane Arbus was included with her contemporaries Garry Winogrand and Lee Friedlander, in the hugely significant exhibition “New Documents” at the Museum of Modern Art, New York curated by John Szarkowski. A posthumous retrospective of her work was exhibited at MoMA in 1972, one year after her death.

Fahey/Klein Gallery presents a special Diane Arbus exhibition opening March 28. This exhibition includes several important Arbus photographs such as: Russian midget friends in a living room on 100th Street, N.Y.C., 1963; Lady Bartender at home with a souvenir dog, New Orleans, L.A., 1964; Jack Dracula, the Marked Man, N.Y.C., 1961; Two ladies at the automat, N.Y.C., 1966; and Circus fat lady and her dog, Troubles. "Diane Arbus remains one of the most influential and revered artists in the history of photography." –Fahey/Klein

MICHAEL AVEDON: VMAN and the Artists

Portrait of Artist Chuck Close
Photograph (c) Michael Avedon

In ART RUBY, photographer Michael Avedon states, "Photography is largely in part a mystery to me. I am drawn to faces, and when I received my first camera as a gift from my grandmother that is where I began. Friends’ faces, strangers’ faces, my own face. As of recently I have found a particular interest in photographing artists at work in their studios. Each space ends up being a reflection or extension of the artist within it, and it therefore seems to be the ideal natural environment to capture some sort of truth about that person." Read "Meet Michael Avedon: Art Ruby's Newest Contributor"

25th Issue of VMAN | Guest Edited by Carine Roitfeld, includes
The Artists Are Present: Photographs by Michael Avedon

The Artists Are Present...these 6 rising artists are just starting to make a name for themselves, as is the young man who shot them, Michael Avedon, 21-year-old grandson of iconic photographer Richard Avedon.–VMAN

As guest editor of VMAN's 25th issue, Carine Roitfeld, former editor-in-chief of Vogue Paris, featured photographs by Michael Avedon of emerging artists shot with his preferred black & white 35mm film. Also check out "Michael Avedon: A Portrait of the Artist" which includes one of my favorite self-portrait's ever!

WILLIAM CLIFT: Photographs + Books

Charis, Bandelier, N.M., 1974
Photograph Copyright (c) William Clift

Intuition precedes everything. When I look back at my first photographs taken around 12 years old, I'm surprised certain things are there so early in one's life. You have no idea where the hell it comes from.

+ + +

WILLIAM CLIFT is recognized for his exquisite New Mexico landscapes, of Mont Saint-Michel, France, for documentation of our nation’s courthouses, the New York State Capitol in Albany, and the Hudson River Valley. Past publications include, Certain Places (1987), A Hudson Landscape (1993) and A Particular World (2008). He grew up on Boston's Beacon Hill and now lives with his family in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

As early as 10 years old, Clift was already working in his own darkroom from images he'd taken with his Brownie camera. He saved his money summer after summer caddying until he'd saved enough to purchase a Polaroid camera in 1956. As film was expensive, he was very careful to take only a very few images. Not taking quantities of pictures has seemingly become a habit that's lasted throughout his career.

At 12, he photographed the luminous image, Barbara's Table, Boston, Mass., 1956 (the frontispiece of his book, Certain Places) with his Poloroid. At 15, he took his first photography workshop with Paul Caponigro. He became the youngest member of the Association of Heliographers (named after the 1929 sun-imagery process) founded by Walter Chappell, along with Caponigro, Marie Cosindas, and a few other established photographers.

WILLIAM CLIFT's latest book, A Particular World, may be one of the most exceptional photography books of this decade. An assembly of 25 color photographs by William Clift taken with a Polaroid Spectra camera of his family and home.

Stone Walls: Personal Boundaries (Damiani, 2011)

Stone Walls: Personal Boundaries was conceived by Mariana Cook, the last protégé of Ansel Adams, at her home on Martha’s Vineyard on the day before Thanksgiving in 2002. After 56 cows strayed through a crumbling section of the stone wall she shares with her neighbor, Cook studied the tumbled wall and was struck by its beauty. With that inspiration, Cook spent eight years traveling to farms, towns, and temples in Peru, Great Britain, Ireland, the Mediterranean, New England, and Kentucky in pursuit of dry stone walls.

Work by Mariana Cook is in the collections of The Museum of Modern Art and The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; the Los Angles County Museum and the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles; the Corcoran Gallery of Art and the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C.; and the National Gallery and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, among others. Previous books: Fathers and Daughters, Mothers and Sons, Generations of Women, Couples, Faces of Science, and Mathematicians. She lives in New York City with her husband and daughter.

Anne Frank: A Private Photo Album
“I don’t think of all the misery but of the beauty that still remains.”

Anne Frank (2nd from left) with her friends on her 10th birthday.

The Leica Photographs of Otto Frank

"As an amateur photographer, Otto Frank focuses on a single theme: the life and times of his family, wife Edith and daughters Anne and Margot. Nothing we see in the snapshots of daily life captured by Otto Frank – one of the first users of the 35mm Leica camera - reveals the horrors the Frank Family will later endure."

+ + +

"Anne Frank was a German-Jewish teenager who was forced to go into hiding during the Holocaust. She and her family, along with four others, spent 25 months during World War II in an annex of rooms above her father’s office in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

After being betrayed to the Nazis, Anne, her family, and the others living with them were deported to Nazi concentration camps. In March of 1945, Anne Frank died at Bergen-Belsen. She was fifteen years old.

Her diary, saved during the war, was first published in 1947. Today, The Diary of Anne Frank has been translated into 67 languages and is one of the most widely read books in the world."

+ + +

"Through a unique partnership with the Leica Gallery, The Anne Frank Center USA presents Anne Frank: A Private Photo Album on view from September 22, 2010 through October 30, 2010.

Featuring 70 black-and-white photographs, many of which have only recently been discovered, this exhibition provides viewers with an intimate glimpse into Anne Frank’s life as a young girl."
