Juliet Harrison

One of our 2011 Emerging Artists, Juliet Harrison is “cleaning house” providing collectors a nice opportunity.

I have run out of room in my attic for framed work. Before I go through the tedious effort of taking these Silver Prints out of frames to store them more efficiently, I am offering some for sale in a special auction format.

All pieces that I post will start at an opening bid price of $100.00 + Shipping. Bid increments will be set at $10.00 per bid. To bid on a piece all you need to do is to post your bid amount in the comments for that piece. You can post any amount as long as it is more then $100. or the previous bid posted and in increments of $10.

A new exhibition at the Red Filter Gallery includes work by 17 artists from the well known artists’ co-operative: Soho Photo Gallery in New York.

The Soho Photo Gallery was established in 1971 by a group of New York Times photographers striving to break away from the commercial art gallery experience and offer something new. It is now the only non-profit cooperative photography gallery in New York City. The gallery is run entirely by members – over one hundred of them who direct, operate, and financially support the gallery. Well-known photographers have shared in exhibiting at the Soho Photo Gallery as well, including Ansel Adams, Andre Kertesz, Jill Enfield, Jill Freedman, and Joel Sternfeld. Regularly featured in local newspapers, trade and national publications, their website, www.sohophoto.com, offers regular updates with announcements of new exhibitions and other exciting gallery events.

Exhibit will run: January 26 –February 26

At the same time that A Monochrome Winter exhibits, the Red Filter Gallery offers an extended viewing of Kisa Kavass’ Moments de Curiosité, and John Andrulis’ Retrospective in Upstairs Gallery II.

In Passing: Jan Groover, Postmodern Photographer, Dies at 68

Jan Groover, an untitled platinum-palladium print from 1978

A photographer that was instrumental in putting photography on the postmodern art map …. Jan Groover has died.

Instead of feast tables or objects in the rooms of the wealthy, the still-life tableaus that first brought Ms. Groover to prominence in the late 1970s focused on the everyday implements of the kitchen, arranged in the sink: fork tines, spatulas, butter-knife blades, whorled and scalloped cake pans, shot in such a way as to confound perspective and to transform light into a kind of object itself in the reflective surfaces.

The pictures resonated not only as subtle documents of feminism but also as unusually beautiful investigations of the fictions that are inseparable from facts in the conventions of photography – inquiries being similarly undertaken by other artists of the time, like Tina Barney, Laurie Simmons, Cindy Sherman and Richard Prince
