NEW WORKS

Gallery Fifty One Fine Art Photography is pleased to present the second exhibition by Katy Grannan. The show will features works from two new series, titled "Sugar Camp Road" and "Morning Call." Both of the series show portrets of average people that responded to Grannan's ad published in local newspapers. Each project explores the desire to be immortualized in a still image.

'... Grannan is not only one of the best portrait photographers working today, she may be a legitimate heir to Diane Arbus.' Jerry Saltz of the Village Voice , NY

The works of the new color series entitled "Sugar Camp Road" are large scale c-prints and were all made outdoors in public parks around Massachusetts, New York, and Pennsylvania.

The new black and white series entitled "Morning Call" consists of small scale portraits made in the private homes of her sitters.
Grannan begins this series around Allentown, PA and photographs the inhabitants and interiors of an area documented by Walker Evans in the 1930s and 40s. Grannan also uses a documentary style in a subjective description of the complex psychological landscape of her sitters and the dynamic between the artist and her subject.

Katy Grannan received her BFA from the University of Pennsylvania and her MFA from Yale University. The artist has exhibited at the Guggenheim Museum, Bilbao; The Palm Beach Institute of Contemporary Art; Los Angeles County Museum of Art, CA; and The Orange County Museum of Art, LA, CA, among others. Her work is in the collections of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY; and The Guggenheim Museum, NY.
