Bruce Davidson Fans...East 100th Street Gallery Show

(copy from www.nyartbeat.com)

Founded in 1981, The Howard Greenberg Gallery (41 East 57th Street) which was originally known as Photofind, exhibits photojournalism and 'street' photography, as well as photographs from a variety of genres and styles spanning from Pictorialism to Modernism, in addition to contemporary photography and images conceived for industry, advertising, and fashion.

In 1970, The Museum of Modern Art exhibited ground-breaking works from Bruce Davidson's photographic essay, 'East 100th Street.' MoMA's esteemed curator, John Szarkowski, selected 43 photographs and we are pleased to have the opportunity to exhibit these actual prints in precisely the state and manner in which they were exhibited in 1970. The MoMA show was accompanied by the publication of the first edition of Davidson's book, 'East 100th Street.' Through this exhibition, the gallery has strived to present an historically accurate re-creation of a memorable MoMA exhibition and insight into Szarkowski's curatorial process. In the south gallery, the gallery is exhibiting a selection of photographs that was inspired by the expanded edition of 'East 100th Street,' published in 2001 by St. Anne's Press, and not included in Szarkowski's edit.

Wow!! I'll be going...let us know what you think about the show!!

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!!

PPANJ members and spouses enjoyed last night's party and had fun dancing the night away to the music of DJ Village Entertainment (Tommy C.) --his Dad is a State President Martin Comiskey.

Flint and Terry took great souvenir photos. Here's one of Terry, Pat and Leslie (l-r).

Whatever holiday you celebrate--enjoy! Here's to a fabulous 2010!!!

Who Was Alice Austen??

We're always looking for the new and different when it comes to photography exhibits and shows. How great to find an unknown photographer (at least to me!!)

Who was Alice Austen? (1866-1952)

Grab your camera or sketch pad and find out. A visit to the museum that was her home for almost 80 years offers a glimpse into the life and work of this fascinating individual, one of the first woman photographers. In addition to an exhibition of Austen's photographs, there are regular shows related to her work and that of associated 19th- and 20th-century artists. A restored parlor in this elegant gingerbread cottage, built in the 1690s, showcases some of the Austen family's furniture and heirlooms, as well as examples of period decorative arts. Clear Comfort —as the estate is also known—and its Victorian gardens sit above the entrance to New York Harbor, offering spectacular views of Manhattan, the Statue of Liberty (see separate entry) and the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge.
