Opening July 8 Laurence Miller Gallery will feature highlights from our previous exhibition season, along with a preview of the season to come. One of New York City's greatest treasures is the sheer number of galleries showing art, and trying to see everything they have to offer is one of her greatest frustrations.  In addition, museums, non-profits, teaching institutions and graduate shows compete for visibility, making it easy to miss even the most highly-publicized shows. For this reason, we have chosen to dedicate a portion of the summer schedule to the best of our shows that were wonderfully conceived and received, and a preview of those that are on the horizon.

Highlights from upcoming shows include water imagery from Jessica Backhaus's series I Wanted to See the World;  a selection of images from Ojos Privados (Private Eyes), Laurence Miller's private collection; and images by Bruce Wrighton in anticipation of his upcoming exhibition and monograph.

Highlights of the season gone by will include: color and black-and-white photographs by Helen Levitt from her acclaimed Memorial Tribute show, along with First Proofs from the equally acclaimed New York Photographs city-wide initiative;  a new landscape by Peter Bialobrzeski from his series Paradise Now, referencing our Abstracted Landscape show; extraordinary Ray Metzker photographs from the AutoMagic show, along with an important and newly-acquired Nude Composite from 1966 also by Metzker; an image from Stephane Couturier's extraordinary Barcelona Parallel series; a rare Maggie Taylor Girl with a Bee Dress; exhilarating images from the major debut of Denis Darzacq's Hyper series; and of course the wildly popular Philippe Halsman's  JUMP

In this age of so little time to see so much, the Past (Present) Future shows give us the opportunity to continue to keep our artists in the public eye, reward viewers who did not catch things the first time around, and offer a preview of extraordinary things to come.
