photo l.a. opens tonight
Thursday, January 13, 2011
Tonight the 20th anniversary of photo l.a. kicks off with a benefit for the Wallis Annenberg Photography Department at LACMA. William Eggleston and Stephen Shore will be the honored guests. I plan to be there this evening, so if you're attending, please say hello!
Elliott Erwitt, Venice Italy, 1949
The longest running art fair west of New York, photo l.a. brings together photography galleries from around the globe, displaying excellent examples of contemporary photography, video and photo-based installations along with masterworks from the 19th century to over 10,000 attendees.
Michael Kenna, , from "Huangshan: Poems from the T'ang Dynasty"
Brooke Shaden, "Dream State"
Graham Nash, "Joni." from "Love. Graham Nash"
Programming for photo l.a. includes:
· A panel discussion with world-renowned photographer Stephen Shore examining the La Brea Matrix, an exploration of the cross-cultural exchange between art photographers on both sides of the Atlantic that examines the iconic power of the photograph Shore took on the corner of La Brea Avenue and Beverly Boulevard in Los Angeles on June 21, 1975.
· Collecting seminars with Chrissy Crawford Malone (ArtStar.com & LittleCollector.com), Weston Naef (founding curator, J. Paul Getty Museum Department of Photography) and W.M. Hunt (New York-based collector, curator and consultant).
