Un certificat ne suffit pas toujours à prouver l’authenticité d’une oeuvre ! En achetant ce qu’il pensait être un portait photo de Churchill dédicacé par lui, Michael Smerconish en a fait l’amère expérience... et réclame réparation.
Tout commence en 2000 quand Michael Smerconish, auteur, chroniqueur politique et habitué des plateaux TV et radio, achète à la galerie de Walter Graham Arader une photographie de Yousuf Karsh représentant Churchill. A l’arrière de celle-ci, “Bien à vous, Winston S. Churchill, 1942” écrit de la main de l’homme. Une précieuse acquisition pour ce grand collectionneur des oeuvres et empreintes laissées par l'ancien Pr...

Sandro Miller
Homage: Malkovich and the Masters
May 12 – July 1, 2016
Please join us Thursday, May 12th for a walkthrough with the artist at 5:30pm
Opening reception and book signing, 6-8pm
Yancey Richardson Gallery is pleased to present Homage: Malkovich and the Masters, an exhibition of photographs by Sandro Miller that explores concepts of mimesis and iconicity through the restaging of some of the most iconic photographs of the 20th century and the interpretive abilities of one of the most brilliant actors of our time.
Longtime friends and collaborators, Sandro Miller and John Malkovich first met in the late 1990s on a project for Chicago’s famed Steppenwolf Theater Company. In 2013 Miller proposed to Malkovich the concept of revisualizing forty-one images by legendary masters of phot...
To look upon someone extraordinary, who has achieved greatness against great odds. To be moved by an image of one who has touched upon the lives of thousands. To seek knowledge and understanding. To find inspiration.
These are the experiences we seek when confronted by a great portrait. The figures captured in this exhibition were extraordinary, exuding character and living lives of triumph and disaster. The photographers who captured their essence, by necessity required a technical prowess but more importantly possess depth, empathy and pursue a true understanding of the human condition.
Portraits are certainly the great power in photography. They are the great confluence of documentary and artistry. Our natural voyeuristic condition draws us in and the medium allows us to feel an element of intimacy. A great...
Armenian-Canadian photographer Yousuf Karsh (1908–2002) is celebrated for photographing the most influential people of the Twentieth Century. With a wide range of subjects such as Winston Churchill, Pablo Picasso, Ernest Hemingway, John Steinbeck, Muhammad Ali, Andy Warhol, Joan Baez, Jacques Cousteau, and Albert Einstein, Karsh considered the face as the most interesting and the greatest challenge to photograph. Photographing more than 17,000 heroes of our time and over 150,000 negatives in six decades, this exhibition at the Monterey Museum of Art La Mirada encompasses over fifty international icons.
Considered a master of studio lighting, Karsh became fascinated with theater techniques. By manipulating light, the artist enjoyed having a command of mood and expression, which allowed him to create a new wor...

Durant un demi-siècle, Polaroid a été synonyme de photographie instantanée. Les amateurs comme les professionnels s’enthousiasmaient à l’idée d’appuyer sur le déclencheur de l’appareil pour en voir sortir un petit tirage quelques minutes plus tard. Le format et le cadre blanc font du Polaroid un objet immédiatement identifiable, lequel n’est, par ailleurs, pas un multiple. Peu après son apparition en 1948, le Polaroid s’est imposé comme un objet culte. Dans les années 1960, près de la moitié des foyers américains possédait un tel appareil.
Dès sa fondation en 1937, la société Polaroid a cherché à innover dans de nombreux domaines. Avant la...
ICONIC PORTRAITS OF POWERFUL AND INFLUENTIAL FIGURES OF THE LAST 60 YEARS - EXHIBITION OF RARE VINTAGE AND SIGNED PHOTOGRAPHS
Atlas Gallery announce an important new exhibition of rare portraits by some of the most notable photographers of the last six decades. Curated personally by the gallery's director Ben Burdett, the subjects have been chosen from the fields of politics, sport, the arts, entertainment and science.
The selection of works on show attempts to examine the way in which the camera portrait not only provides the individual with a visual memory and reference for the subjects of the portrait but in some rare cases, when reproduced enough times, provides an almost universal human record.The works chosen have been selected not only for the status and influence of the subjects but for the importance of ...

KOWASA gallery presents "The Vision of the Other: Modernity and the Photographed Face", a group show which attempts to define the way in which the human face was photographically constructed before its abolition by Postmodernism. The exhibition primarily offers a thorough insight into the history of portrait photography with a special emphasis on the shift of the portrait from being a mere "extension of the painted body" to being the photographic genre par excellence. At the same time it highlights the aesthetic and conceptual evolution of early portraiture from Pictorialism towards a modernist experimentation and subjectivity.
The exhibition gathers more than 70 black and white prints whose protagonists are Coco Chanel, Ernest Heminway, André Breton, Marc Chagall, Dalí, Josep Pl...
