Peter Hujar: Portraits in life and death.
Nan Goldin: recent work
Nan Goldin, born in 1953, has
documented the intimate geographies of
her life in an ongoing autobiographical
project. Her photographs take us to
where her life has taken her: from New
York to Japan to Germany, from
late-night clubs to detoxification
hospitals. She has been awarded a
National Endowment of the Arts grant, a
Mother Jones Documentary Photography
Award, and was the subject of a major
retrospective at the Whitney Museum of
American Art in 1996. Several
monographs on her work have been
published, including I'll be Your Mirror, The
Ballad of Sexual Dependency, The Other
Side, and Couples and Loneliness.
Fraenkel Gallery celebrated its twentieth
anniversary in
September 1999. Carleton Watkins, Lee
Friedlander and NASA's
lunar photographs were the gallery's first
three exhibitions and
set a tone and pattern for what followed.
Photography's brief
history lends itself to examination
backward, forward and
sideways in time. Soon came exhibitions of
Eugene Atget,
Walker Evans, Edward Weston and Diane Arbus,
and later, the
Bechers, Adam Fuss, Hiroshi Sugimoto, and
Sol LeWitt. In
addition to its museum-quality exhibitions,
the gallery has
published numerous monographs and exhibition
catalogues.
In
exhibitions such as Open Secrets and Dust
Breeding, Fraenkel
Gallery has brought together work across
media, juxtaposing
photographs with paintings, drawings and
sculpture.
