Pare’s prints were recently showcased in a solo exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, New York. By documenting the work of architects in the Soviet Union following the 1917 Revolution, he shows how some of the most radical buildings of the 20th century were completed by a small group of architects. As a result, a new architectural language in support of social goals of communal life was born. More work can be seen at Howard Schickler Fine Art, Sarasota, FL.

From 1984 to 1987, Tress made a series of large-scale color photographs of installations that he created in New York City and Paris. This installation work, most of which was made from found objects and built in an abandoned hospital on New York's Welfare Island, is a largely unknown facet of this artist's extensive career. After Tress photographed the installations, the hospital was torn down and the work destroyed before it could be shown to the public. An interview with the artist about the series can be found on You Tube.
