Laura McPhee : The Home and the World, a View of Calcutta
Benrubi Gallery is pleased to announce Laura McPhee’s The Home and the World: a View of Calcutta, the artist’s fifth solo show with the gallery, and her first since the gallery relocated to Chelsea in January of this year.
McPhee’s images are less an overview of this city of 15 million than a few frank glimpses into its complex, often conflicted soul. The frame is for the most part contained and classic.

Group exhibition : GLOBETROTTING
Bonni Benrubi Gallery is pleased to announce a group exhibition, GLOBETROTTING. Presenting new work by the gallery’s stable of contemporary photographers alongside classic mid-century work, this exhibition invites the viewer on a voyage around the world.

Highlights include Doug Hall, a new gallery artist, who not only photographs soaring urban landscapes and interior spaces from around the world, but also reflects on tourists as they enjoy holiday moments at well-known attractions such as the Pantheon. New color work by Abelardo Morell brings the Italian landscape inside; infusing physical context and enchantment into the interior spaces he transforms into room-sized Camera Obscu...
