MOM & DAD – TERRY RICHARDSON

Posted on 2011-09-26

Terry delves deeply and indiscriminately into the world with his camera revealing the all too personal nature of his life… his family life.
Terry’s images don’t desist to shock, be it following his colourful yet frail mother or tracking his father’s life and the decline of his mental health though his last days…. Terry’s camera has no boundaries, no judgement, just the simple truth of the snapshot, an intimate portrait of his family and in turn more or less a self-portrait of Terry Richardson the son.
Created as a double book, each book will be dedicated to one of his parents and feature a number of portraits and candid photos taken throughout their lives.

Published by Morel Books, the book will be limited to 1000 copies.

JULIUS SHULMAN – 80 YEARS OF PHOTOGRAPHY

Posted on 2011-09-26

This show will include not only his well-known photographs of works by architects such as Neutra, Koenig, Lautner, Frey, and Eames but also early images from Shulman’s personal files.
Julius Shulman is widely regarded as the most important architectural photographer in history. Over a seventy year career Shulman not only documented the work of many of the great architects of the 20th century, but he elevated the genre of commercial architectural photography to a fine art form. It is illuminating to recognize the simple fact that the work of architects such as Neutra, Koenig, and Lautner are virtually known all over the world through the images and perspective of Julius Shulman. As Neutra astutely observed, “His work will survive me. Film is stronger and good glossy prints are easier to ship than brute concrete, stainless steel, or even ideas.”
