June Events & Book Signing

Friday, June 5, 6:00 to 7:30 pm
Lynn Saville: Night/Shift
Book signing
ICP Museum Store
1133 Avenue of the Americas at 43rd Street
New York
212.857.9725

From the publisher: Lynn Saville photographs New York during the time of transition from daylight to night, the fleeting moments when natural light gives way to streetlight, moonlight, window light, and advertisement and surveillance lighting. Subdued tones and shadows reveal a geometry hidden beneath the visual distractions of daylight. Saville has sought out places that seem questionable—deserted factories, back alleys, the shadowy infrastructure of urban highways and bridges that suggest the city’s exoskeleton.

Doug DuBois: All the Days and Nights
Artist's Talk and Book Signing
Aperture Gallery
547 West 27th Street
New York, New York
(212) 505-5555

From the publisher: In his first monograph, All the Days and Nights, Doug DuBois turns the camera on his own family, both before and after his father's near-fatal fall from a commuter train and his mother's subsequent breakdown. The unblinking eye of DuBois's camera captures the nuances of his family's intensely personal struggles and relationships.




Wednesday, June 10, 07:00PM - 08:30 pm
Anthony Goicolea Fictions
Strand Book Store
828 Broadway (at the corner of 12th Street)

From the publisher: Anthony Goicolea's third book is an amalgam of photographs and drawings. Though the artist no longer uses himself as a model, he continues to use the motifs of his earlier work. All male, and under thirty, Goicolea's subjects seem to have left their public schoolboy roots behind, and matriculated in an environment which is otherworldly, replete with codes and rituals unfamiliar to the viewer.



Thursday, June 11, 2009, 6:30 pm
Dan Winters, Periodical Photographs
Talk, Book Signing, and Reception
Aperture Gallery
547 West 27th Street, 4th floor
(between 10th and 11th Avenues)
(212) 505-5555

From the publisher: Periodical Photographs, the long-awaited first monograph from top editorial photographer Dan Winters, provides an overview of his assignment work as a contributor to some of America’s most prestigious magazines, including New York, Esquire, Rolling Stone, and the New York Times Magazine. With an emphasis on his iconic portraiture, this volume considers the body of work of a top photographer whose unique sensibility is both adaptable and instantly recognizable. Winters is responsible for the definitive portraits of some of Hollywood's most photographed A-listers (Gwyneth Paltrow, Denzel Washington, Leonardo DiCaprio) and music superstars (Bono, Eminem, Willie Nelson). His voracious passion for the quirky and the creative also draws him to visual artists, scientists, architects, and everyday, extraordinary Americans.



Tuesday, June 16, 2009, 6:30 pm
Lyle Rexer, Abstraction in Photography
Lecture and Book Signing
Aperture Gallery
547 West 27th Street
(212) 505-5555

From the publisher: From the beginning, abstraction has been intrinsic to photography, and its persistent popularity reveals much about the medium. The Edge of Vision: The Rise of Abstraction in Photography is the first book in English to document this phenomenon and to put it into historical context, while also examining the diverse approaches thriving within contemporary photography. In addition to Rexer’s engagingly written and richly illustrated history, this volume includes a selection of primary texts from key practitioners and critics, such as Edward Steichen, László Moholy-Nagy, and James Welling.
