Cody Cobb: Eons at Foster and White Gallery, Seattle

The American West has been so over photographed, it can seem like a plastic, prefabricated destination. Cody Cobb’s first solo exhibition at Seattle’s Foster and White Gallery, Eons, was an unconventional take on American landscape photography – reviving a genre that too-often feels like it’s been done to death. For almost […]

JR: Horizontal at Perrotin

A 36-foot-tall human figure scaled the building that houses the Perrotin gallery in New York City’s Lower East Side, peeking into one of the gallery’s windows. The large-scale photograph was a conspicuous introduction for the artist JR’s first New York City solo show. It also begged the question: How important is […]

Judy Dater: Only Human at the De Young Museum

Evolving aesthetic mastery and a desire to portray human individuality are robust notes in Judy Dater: Only Human, on view at the de Young Museum through September 16. This tightly curated exhibition of the Bay Area artist’s work is the first in 20 years to consider the breadth and depth […]

Liz Deschenes: (Rates) Frames per Second at Miguel Abreu Gallery

Liz Deschenes’s new photograms never quite settle, but reveal details of their production as viewers move in front of them. Exposed in trays of developer outdoors under the moonlit sky before being developed and toned, each of her pieces becomes an index of the surrounding buildings’ stray light or the […]

Icons of Style: A Century of Fashion Photography, 1911-2011 at the J. Paul Getty Museum

In January, the seductive, sometimes disturbing fashion photography wunderkind Juergen Teller published portraits of Rihanna in Paris Vogue. It took U.S. critics six months to realize the problem: they looked just like the work of artist Mickalene Thomas. Teller had riffed on her languorous poses, her palette, and patterns. The […]

Malick Sidibé: Love Power Peace at Jack Shainman Gallery

Malick Sidibé’s photographs are internationally recognized for their narrative exploration of identity and a particular swagger born of youth culture in 1960s Mali. Emboldened by their nation’s recent independence from France, his subjects confidently revel in their stature as members of an emerging modern decolonized nation. Accordingly, TWIST! Avec Ray Charles, 1969-2008, […]

Fred Herzog: Modern Color at Laurence Miller Gallery

“I call Canada America. I’m talking about North America,” the photographer Fred Herzog said in an interview with photography website American Suburb X in 2013. “I don’t differentiate that much.” In terms of the aesthetics of street photography, America and Canada don’t differentiate much either – they’ve both got big […]

Melanie Schiff: Lay Lie Lay, Patron Gallery, Chicago

Minimalist nudes and quiet still lifes comprised Melanie Schiff’s first solo exhibition at Patron Gallery, titled Lay Lie Lay. Since the early 2000s Schiff has consistently sought a feeling of stoned euphoria in her portraits, landscapes, and light studies. This exhibition extended her quest for beautiful stillness into the […]

Justine Kurland: Girl Pictures, 1997-2002 at Mitchell-Innes & Nash

On view at Mitchell-Innes & Nash through June 29, this show of Justine Kurland’s Girl Pictures (1997-2002) is well timed. It’s the 20thanniversary of the first printing of the series, 69 staged photographs of adolescent girls living (apparently) off the grid. A lot has changed – and too much hasn’t – […]
