ABOUT FACE
2011-08-01About Face, is a group show featuring twenty-five contemporary photographers: Steven Alvarez, Tina Barney, Rita Bernstein, Donald E. Camp, Paul Cava, Kelli Connell, Edward Dimsdale, Jen Davis, Martine Fougeron, David Graham, Yuichi Hibi, Henry Horenstein, George Krause, Serge J-F. Levy, Andrea Modica, Caitlin Teal Price, Richard Renaldi, Liz Rideal, Jason Robinette, Nadine Rovner, Manjari Sharma, Rafael Soldi, Phillip Toledano, Neil Winokur, and Davin Youngs.
This exhibition concentrates on recent portraiture concerned with the face. There are few things more varied and interesting than the face. It embodies our individuality and projects it to the world in a way that nothing else does. Yet at the same time, there are few things more ubiquitous than a face. We are confronted with other faces (and occasionally our own) on such a routine basis that we stop examining them with any great amount of care. Like buildings in a city, only the most striking ones stand out, and the rest blend together as part of the context of daily life.

ERNST HAAS – COLOR CORRECTION
2011-08-01Ernst Haas is unquestionably one of the best-known, most prolific and most published photographers of the twentieth century.
He is most associated with a vibrant colour photography which, for decades, was much in demand by the illustrated press. His colour work, published in the most influential magazines in Europe and America, also fed a constant stream of books, and these too enjoyed great popularity. But although his colour work earned him fame around the world, in recent decades it has often been derided by critics and curators as “overly commercial”, and too easily accessible – or in the language of curators, not sufficiently “serious”. As a result, his reputation has suffered in comparison with a younger generation of colour photographers, notably Eggleston, Shore and Meyerowitz.
Paradoxically, however, there was also a side of his work that was almost entirely hidden from view. Parallel to his commissioned work Haas constantly made images for his own interest, and these pictures show an entirely different aspect of Haas’s sensibility: they are far more edgy, loose, complex and ambiguous – in short, far more radical than the work which earned him fame.
