Robert Mann Gallery 210 Eleventh Avenue NY 10001 New York États-Unis

Robert Mann Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of new photographs of New York City by Michael Kenna. New York / New Work will be on view from November 29, 2007 through January 26, 2008. An opening reception for the artist will be held on Thursday, November 29 from 6-8pm. Never afraid to confront iconic subject matter, with this new body of work Michael Kenna turns his lens on New York City. Infinitely rendered by masters and tourists alike, the city is transformed through Kenna's eyes. Recalling Kertész perched on his window over Washington Square Park, or Stieglitz peering up at those shiny new skyscrapers, Kenna romanticizes even the most frenetic landscape by seeking out those quiet moments at dusk and dawn. With exquisite toned silver prints, he imposes order and tranquility on the otherwise chaotic city streets. Engaging the strong, modernist lines of the urban grid, Kenna's formal precision is more clarified than ever. The exhibition also coincides with the publication of Michael Kenna's newest monograph, Mont St. Michel (Nazraeli, 2007). Photographs from the book will be featured in the exhibition. Whether capturing a misty French castle or the elongated span of the Brooklyn Bridge, Kenna's photographs "are beautiful and achingly solitary." (ARTnews, Hilarie M. Sheets) Michael Kenna was born in Widnes, England in 1953 and graduated from The London College of Printing in 1976. His work is part of such public collections as The National Gallery, Washington, D.C.; the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; the Bibliothèque Nationale de Paris; The Museum of Decorative Arts, Prague; and The Victoria and Albert Museum, London. His recent publications include Hokkaido (Nazraeli, 2006), Retrospective Two (Nazraeli, 2004), Ratcliffe Power Station (Nazraeli, 2004), and Japan (Nazraeli, 2003). He lives and works in Seattle, Washington.
