Memory Unearthed: The Lodz Ghetto Photographs of Henryk Ross at the MFA Boston

When you suppress a memory, it returns as trauma. This Freudian chestnut takes on shockingly literal form in the exhibition Memory Unearthed. Henryk Ross, the official photographer of the Jewish ghetto in Lodz, Poland, took hundreds of photographs of his fellow countrymen and women as they suffered under the Nazi […]

Susan Rankaitis: Grey Matters at Robert Mann Gallery, New York

When I first saw Susan Rankaitis’s work almost 20 years ago, I felt like I was entering the Cave of Altamira. I had never seen anything so chemical, so metallic, and the shimmering surfaces of those giant prints were like looking into the material origin of photography. But if Rankaitis […]

Daniel Gordon: Selective Color at M+B, Los Angeles

Daniel Gordon: Selective Color at M+B through June 24 could and possibly should be the set for a music video. It’s easy to imagine Feist or even Sheryl Crow dancing in front of his still lifes and patterned abstractions, a smart cinematographer playing up the work’s meta sunniness, drawing attention […]

Irving Penn: Centennial at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York

There is a famous story about Irving Penn that epitomizes the formal perfection of his work: After being presented with 500 lemons from which to select the singular best of the bunch, he proceeded to take 500 photographs of that one lemon to arrive at l’image juste. Such uncompromising rigor […]

Le Gendarme Sur La Colline: Photographs by Alessandra Sanguinetti at Aperture Gallery

This spring, the world watched as French voters locked horns over the fate of their country and the nature of its character. The winner, we know now, was a gentler, more global vision of France. But the battles persist. In American photographer Alessandra Sanguinetti’s series Le Gendarme Sur La Colline, […]

Matthew Brandt at Jackson Fine Art

Los Angeles artist Matthew Brandt is known for using an experimental process that incorporates something of the subject in the development of the photograph, such as sweat for portraits or lake water from lakes in a landscape. When he found out he’d be doing a show in Atlanta, at Jackson […]

Lauren Greenfield: Generation Wealth at the Annenberg Space for Photography

The election of Donald Trump gave a new gloss of legitimacy to the status-seeking, fortune-building ambitions that Lauren Greenfield so astutely documents. If her work felt timely in the ’90s, when she started chronicling our consumerist, image-driven culture, it’s now nothing short of urgent. Generation Wealth, on view at the […]

Matjaz Tancic: 3DPRK: Portraits of North Korea at happylucky no.1

Given the current political backdrop and the heightened tensions between the United States and North Korea, the photography show currently at happylucky no. 1 in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, is especially relevant. Through May 14, the gallery is showing Slovenian photographer Matjaz Tancic’s 3D portraits of North Koreans – farmers, steelworkers, hairdressers, […]

Bill Jacobson: figure, ground at Julie Saul Gallery

There were plenty of people inside the Julie Saul Gallery on a recent Saturday afternoon, but the atmosphere was subdued. Perhaps it was out of solidarity with the photographs from Bill Jacobson’s new body of work, figure, ground, seven of which were on view through May 28. You could almost […]
