Press Release

LAURENCE MILLER GALLERY—AIPAD FAIR PREVIEW
The 2023 Photography Show, presented by AIPAD
March 31 – April 2

Laurence Miller Gallery will present six contemporary photographers—Anastasia Samoylova, Raïssa Venables, Patricia Bender, Barbara Jaffe, Toshio Shibata, and Yoko Ikeda—in conversation with early classic photographs by Andy Warhol, Eugène Atget, Helen Levitt, Ray K. Metzker, Bruce Wrighton, and Eadweard Muybridge. This mix spans 130 years and, when seen together, embraces the great diversity of possibilities inherent to photography.

Anastasia Samoylova's Breakfast With still-lifes playfully pay homage to the greats of twentieth century photography, capturing moments of morning inspiration. Raïssa Venables’ composite photographs of interior spaces both alter space and mimic the role of peripheral vision in sight. Patricia Bender revisits the earliest processes and materials of darkroom photography in her enigmatic (and camera-less) abstractions. Yoko Ikeda finds poetry in the prosaic, and mysteries in the mundane, using photography to create an imaginary world among the commonplace.  Barbara Jaffe’s sensual exploration of the expressive potential of negative photographic images are revealed in her two bodies of work: Dark Sun and Forest of Ghosts.

A selection of Andy Warhol's portraits, including Liza Minnelli and Milton Berle, adroitly examine the nature of 20th century celebrity, while also anticipating  the photographic voyeurism of 21st century social media. Bruce Wrighton’s lush interiors of working class diners and taverns in Upstate New York form a powerful typology.  Finally, the presentation will feature a large selection from one of photography’s earliest and most significant visual breakthroughs: Eadweard Muybridge's late 19th century studies of Animal Locomotion.
