All Things Art & Photography
Richard Serra walks us through his largest permanent installation Matter of Time at the Guggenheim Bilbao

In the commercial world of portrait, still life and fashion photography everything starts with Irving Penn. There is not one photographer of note up until the 1990’s you could name whom he has not influenced. Photographers based entire careers making pictures informed by Penn’s incredible photographs (that are just as good today as ever). This survey of his work is installed beautifully and all the hits are here to feast your eyes on.

September 12 – November 2, 2013

Sebastiaan Bremer is showing a really amazing group of hand painted photographs in his current exhibition at Edwynn Houk Gallery in New York. Unlike most who simple hand color their photos Sebastiaan adds another layer of meaning with his meticulous handling of paint and line to obscured snapshots. This is a really beautiful exhibition and not to be missed.
