EXHIBITION HIGHLIGHTS
Since 1980, The AIPAD Photography Show New York has been celebrated for exhibiting some of the most important photography from around the world. David Zwirner will feature photographs that address architecture and interior spaces. On view will be recent work by Stan Douglas of unique places from his native British Columbia, works by Philip-Lorca diCorcia created in the 1980s of intimate scenes blending fact and fiction, small-scale domestic interiors from the 1980s by Thomas Ruff, and a selection of images by James Welling from his recent Wyeth series and his project begun in 2006 about the Glass House – the iconic home designed by American architect Philip Johnson in New Canaan, Connecticut.

Michael Hoppen Gallery, London, will exhibit a substantial and important body of work by the Japanese photographer Akira Sato, noted for his graphic and experimental photographs of women. His prints from the 1960s are extremely rare and have been hidden away until very recently. A rare photo sculpture by Robert Heinecken will be on view at Robert Koch Gallery, San Francisco.

The tower of images that rotate on a central axis, Fractured Figure Sections/Beach (Multiple Solution Puzzle,) 1966, is similar to one on view in a survey exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York through June 22, 2014. Powerful images by Heinecken, of a Cambodian soldier holding two severed heads, will be shown by Chicago’s Stephen Daiter Gallery. Heinecken, best known as a pioneer in the postwar Los Angeles art scene, probably used these 1971 works as early “sketches” for his iconic images of the soldier, collaging it onto the pages of fashion magazines, which, in some instances, he put back on the newsstand.

Bonni Benrubi Gallery, New York, will show the work of Richard Renaldi from his new book Touching Strangers. A coinciding show, Touching Strangers Photographs by Richard Renaldi will be exhibited at Aperture from April 3 - May 15, 2014. In his ongoing series, Renaldi randomly approaches people on the street and pairs complete strangers together in his portraits, asking them to embrace or touch, and creating spontaneous relationships brought together by the photographer’s vision.

Brazilian photographer Gustavo Lacerda’s Albino series will be on view at Catherine Edelman Gallery, Chicago. Since 2009, Lacerda has explored the ethereal beauty of albino people who are often marginalized and victimized. A new book by Lacerda will be published this spring by Editora Estúdio Madalene, Brazil.

William Eggleston’s depiction of suburban Memphis from 1972 will be on view at PDNB Gallery, Dallas. The dye-transfer print was shown in a 1976 exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, curated by John Szarkowski. Work by Alec Soth including Peter's Houseboat, Winona, MN, 2002, will be exhibited at Weinstein Gallery, Minneapolis.

San Francisco-based artist Jim Campbell is showing a new photo-based LED work at Bryce Wolkowitz Gallery, New York. The artist currently has his first New York solo museum exhibition at the Museum of the Moving Image, Jim Campbell: Rhythms of Perception, through June 15, 2014.

2Man Ray photographed many of the leading artists of his day, including Meret Oppenheim, a surrealist artist best know today for Fur Tea Cup. The gelatin silver print of Oppenheim from 1931-32 will be on view at Hyperion Press Limited, New York. Paul M. Hertzmann, Inc., San Francisco, will show a rare 1930 rayograph by Man Ray.

A nude by Edward Weston, taken in Mexico in 1925, will be a highlight at Galerie Johannes Faber, Vienna. The silver print was a gift to the sitter. At Barry Singer Gallery, Petaluma, CA, a platinum- palladium print by Irving Penn, Guedras in the Wind, Morocco, 1971, depicts women with their faces mysteriously covered. A sequence of photographs by Duane Michals tells the story of a girl’s dream in a 1969 work at Scheinbaum & Russek Ltd., Santa Fe.

Julie Blackmon is known for her often-comical depictions of young children in slightly surreal domestic situations. Her new work will be on view at Robert Mann Gallery, New York. Also marked by a surreal element are photographs depicting women stranded in nature by Dutch artist Ellen Kooi, shown at New York’s P.P.O.W. Gallery.

The loneliness of being an obese young woman is acutely captured in a new book of self-portraits, Jen Davis: Eleven Years (Kehrer Verlang, 2014), which explores issues of beauty, desire, body image, and identity. In 2011, Davis lost a significant amount of weight. Notes Davis about her most recent work: “You can almost see the realization on my face: I am open to myself.” A number of prints will be exhibited at Lee Marks Fine Art, Shelbyville, IN.

Gygory Kepes’s 1939 portrait of his wife Juliet with one eye covered with a peacock feather becomes an “eye” superimposed on another eye at James Hyman Fine Art and Photographs, London. In her recent series My Pie Town, Debbie Grossman has created an imaginary world populated by women. The images are based on 1940-era pictures of homesteaders and can be seen at Julie Saul Gallery, New York.

Christer Strömholm almost destroyed his prints in the 1980s. They were saved by an assistant and will be on view at Grundemark Nilsson Gallery-Swedish Photography, Berlin/Stockholm, for the first time since then. The 1965 images of women in alluring poses are from a series entitled Place Blanche and were shown that year in a breakthrough exhibition.

In 1948, Robert Frank visited Peru and made a series of images with a spontaneity that captured the country’s expansive vistas and rural life. One image from the trip, depicting a young boy standing in the doorway of a dilapidated room where plastic doll parts are hanging on a string like sausages, will be on view at Alan Klotz Gallery, New York.

Matthew Brandt’s Dust series re-creates found images of old buildings being demolished. The images, processed with dust from buildings currently on the sites, will be exhibited at Yossi Milo Gallery, New York, along with work by Alison Rossiter, whose abstract photographs are created without a camera on expired vintage photo paper.

Joel Meyerowitz’s new still life photograph of humble antique objects from Tuscany takes a painterly approach at Howard Greenberg Gallery, New York. “These objects seemed to have a new life, as if 3once more they could express something of their character, which is a touching sentiment to give to things that have been rendered useless,” notes Meyerowitz.

Zhang Bing pieces together urban digital information to create large-scale aerial-view maps of New York City and the Forbidden City in Beijing. The photographs, which take him months to create, will be on view at 798 Photo Gallery, Beijing. Christine Osinski’s images of Chicago from the early 1980s will be shown at Sasha Wolf Gallery, New York City. Richard Misrach’s eerie 1970s images of the desert a night, made using strobe lighting will be on view at Etherton Gallery, Tucson, AZ.

French artist Eric Rondepierre, whose photographs were shown by The Museum of Modern Art, New York, in 1995, works often with frames from long-forgotten films, excerpting them and showing them as large-format prints. They will be on view at Paci Contemporary, Brescia, Italy.

Kikuji Kawada is widely known, both in Japan and internationally, for The Map, a book of photographs published on August 6, 1965, 20 years after the bombing of Hiroshima, which generated heated discussion due to its piercing imagery and has been hailed as one of the most important photography books of the last century. Work from The Map will be exhibited at Photo Gallery International, Tokyo. The entire series of images from the book will be on view at the Tate Modern in November 2014 in an exhibition on war and photography. L. Parker Stephenson Photography, New York, will show work from Kawada’s Last Cosmology, which is little known outside of Japan. Images from the series date from 1969 to 1997. Collaborating with a forensic pathologist, among others, French photographer Raphael Dallaporta, explores dying and its effects on the organs of the body in the 2010 series Fragile, also at Stephenson

Tokyo-based artist Izima Kaoru’s circular photograph Sentosa, Singapore (One Sun), 2006, will be on view at Von Lintel Gallery, Los Angeles. Traveling the world, Kaoru tracked the path of the sun from sunrise to sunset on a single day in one location. Using a fisheye lens and long exposure, he left his shutter open from dawn to dusk, capturing the sun’s progress as it made its way across the sky. Stephen Wilkes’ extraordinary day-to-night landscapes of New York City and San Francisco can be seen at Peter Fetterman Gallery, Santa Monica, CA.

Taka Ishii Gallery, Tokyo, will focus on the work of Teikoh Shiotani, one of the renowned Japanese Pictorialist photographers. A 1940 gelatin silver print entitled Dune shows a vast desert landscape with tiny figures on horseback in the background.

19TH-CENTURY PHOTOGRAPHY
Charles Schwartz Ltd., New York, will show Robert Howlett’s renowned 1857 portrait of Isambard Kingdom Brunel, standing in front of one of the largest steamships of the 19th century. Brunel, the ship’s builder, was one of the most celebrated civil engineers of his time. Howlett was commissioned to document the construction of this massive vessel, and the portrait he made of Brunel posed before the ship’s immense launching chains became one of the century’s most famous photographs. A romantic with a poetic eye, Charles Marville documented 19 th-century Paris and its surrounding countryside. His haunting work will be on view at Charles Isaacs Photographs, New York, Hans P. Kraus Jr. Inc., New York, and Robert Koch Gallery, San Francisco and coincides with an exhibition at 4The Metropolitan Museum of Art through May 4, 2014, entitled Charles Marville: Photographer of Paris.

THEMATIC EXHIBITIONS/SOLO EXHIBITIONS
The work of Roy DeCarava will be on view at Jenkins Johnson Gallery, New York and San Francisco. Since his 1996 retrospective at The Museum of Modern Art in New York, his work has not been shown substantially except for a 2006 exhibition at Jenkins Johnson. Photojournalism will be the focus at Monroe Gallery, Santa Fe, including images of Bobby Kennedy and John Lennon by Bill Eppridge as well as previously unseen images of the Selma March by Steve Schapiro. Steven Kasher Gallery, New York, will show a thematic exhibition focusing on grids. The gallery will present groupings by artists including Miles Aldridge, Melissa Cacciola, Henry Chalfont, and Jerome Liebling. Juxtaposition: History and Continuity in Photography, 1850 – 2000 will be the theme at Contemporary Works/Vintage Works, Chalfont, PA, including work by Gustave Le Gray, Eugène Atget, Brassaï, Henri Cartier-Bresson, André Kertez, and Arthur Tress.
