Herzog has received significant critical attention over the past five years, beginning with his first major exhibition at the Vancouver Art Gallery and the publication of his first monograph FRED HERZOG: VANCOUVER PHOTOGRAPHS, in 2007. Especially in Europe his celebration of American cars and culture, offhand points of view and a rich palette have garnered much attention and resulted in major publications and exhibitions, and a comparison to fellow European Robert Frank.
This increased attention inspired Herzog to look more closely at original slides previously overlooked and never before printed. Our exhibition includes twenty works from 1957-2001, taken in Vancouver as well as Portland, Kansas City and Curacao. In addition to a marvelous eye for color, this selection also reveals his strong sense of abstraction.
