Joel Meyerowitz Exhibition
Howard Greenberg Gallery
This event has ended.
The gallery has announced its worldwide representation of Joel Meyerowitz, whose first solo show with the gallery will be a full survey of the artist’s career in two parts: November 2–December 1, 2012, and December 7, 2012–January 5, 2013. One of the foremost photographers working today, Joel Meyerowitz is renowned for his crucial role in the establishment of color photography as a fine art. His work has appeared in over 350 exhibitions in museums and galleries around the world. The exhibition coincides with the publication of a major book from Phaidon Press in November.
Joel Meyerowitz Part I and Part II will feature images from the 1960s to 2011 from many of his most famous series. The exhibition includes his seminal street photography – both color and black-and-white, intimate images of American life, and landscapes exploring luminous scenes from Cape Cod to Tuscany.
Among the highlights in the exhibition will be a number of images that show the artist’s witty take on street scenes: "Times Square, New York City," 1965, offers a black-and-white shot of a movie theater with a couple kissing underneath a marquee that reads “Kiss Me Stupid.” A photograph from St. Louis in 1978 depicts a rundown street corner with a sign offering “Brains 25¢.” Recent work made in Provence last year will also be on view, as well as many other images on exhibition to the public for the first time.
