Glitz & Grime: Photographs of Times Square July 9 � September 12, 2009 Summer Hours: Monday � Friday, 10 � 6 p.m.
Yancey Richardson Gallery is pleased to present Glitz & Grime: Photographs of Times Square an exhibition of evocative photographs taken in or inspired by Times Square, the �crossroads of the world�, by both contemporary and classic photographers. The images range from celebratory to sordid, chronicling the changing fortunes of this one hundred year old internationally famous New York landmark of culture, consumption and kitsch. Included are works by Olivo Barbieri, Lillian Bassman, Rudy Burckhardt, Ted Croner, Philip-Lorca diCorcia, Alfred Eisenstadt, Mitch Epstein, Elliot Erwitt, Louis Faurer, Robert Frank, George Gardner, David Hilliard, Paul Himmel, Lisa Kereszi, William Klein, Jeff Liao, Benn Mitchell, Andrew Moore, Stephen Shore, Louis Stettner, Dennis Stock, Brian Ulrich, and Dan Weiner.
The exhibition explores the transition of Times Square from its Broadway heyday through its decline and eventual rejuvenation as the shiny tourist Mecca we see today. Included are photographs dating from 1945 to 2009 and ranging from Alfred Eisenstadt�s iconic wartime image of a sailor kissing a nurse on V-J Day to young New Year�s revelers in festive hats by Dan Weiner to figures silhouetted against the play of neon lights by Louis Stettner, Benn Mitchell, Rudy Burckhardt and David Hilliard.
While Lillian Bassman cast Times Square as a glamorous backdrop for a fashion story, William Klein and Paul Himmel wrought abstractions from the reflections of illuminated marquees that peppered �the great white way�. Robert Frank, Mitch Epstein, Lisa Kereszi and Philip-Lorca diCorcia portray Times Square as a contemporary dystopia while Andrew Moore, Lynn Saville , Ted Croner and Stephen Shore capture the relentless and frenetic energy that best embodies this iconic urban landmark.
PROJECT GALLERY: Lynn Saville Night/Shift July 9 � August 28, 2009 Summer Hours: Monday � Friday, 10 � 6 p.m.
Yancey Richardson Gallery is pleased to present Night/Shift, an exhibition of color photographs of New York at night by Lynn Saville. Well known for her black and white photographs of New York and Paris taken exclusively at night, Saville began photographing in color in 2001. Night/Shift will coincide with the release of her new monograph of the same title by Monacelli Press.
Saville explores the deserted, overlooked and unremarkable neighborhoods of greater New York, transforming them into sites of mystery and beauty by using the alluring effect of ambient light � twilight and dawn, moonlight, street lamps, and billboard lights. In a forward to Night/Shift, Arthur Danto compares Saville�s photographs to Atget�s early morning images of Paris, stating �Saville is his New York counterpart, the Atget of vanishing New York, prowling her city at the other end of the day, picking up pieces of the past in the present, just before it is swallowed by shadows.� As the artist herself explains, �I am a roamer of limbo regions, one of our last frontiers - places that seem unloved and overlooked, cracks in the urban fa�ade.�
Based in New York City, Saville�s work has been exhibited internationally and is held in the collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, The Museum of the City of New York, and the New York Public Library. Her first book, Acquainted with the Night, was published by Rizzoli in 1997.
Upcoming Fall schedule: Hellen van Meene, September 17 � October 31, 2009 Andrew Moore, November 5, 2009 - January 9, 2010
