ALEC SOTH – UNTIL NOW
2014-03-25This exhibition is a retrospective of 35 photographs taken between 1998 and 2014 by internationally recognized Minnesota-based photographer, Alec Soth. Included will be photographs from the well-known projects Sleeping by the Mississippi (2004), NIAGARA (2006), Dog Days, Bogota (2007), Fashion Magazine: Paris/Minnesota (2007), Last Days of W. (2008), Broken Manual (2010) and Siren (2012). In addition, Weinstein Gallery will be debuting a new photograph taken during the Minnesota winter this year. The photograph, Lake Calhoun, 2014, was prominently featured in the New York Times Magazine.
Working in the photographic traditions of Robert Frank, William Eggleston and Stephen Shore, Soth captures large format color images with his 8 x 10 inch film camera. Guided by research, happenstance and curiosity, Soth seeks out the quiet beauty of the every day. The photographs in Until Now take the viewer from the Surf Ballroom in Iowa, where Buddy Holly played his last concert, to chic Paris fashion shoots to rural and desolate landscapes of the American West.
