Ghosts

One of my favorite antique showrooms is on the West Coast in Los Angeles.  When I lived there I would visit frequently and peruse the dark rooms with the most amazing and magical lighting that illuminates each piece so mysteriously.  Obsolete is like a museum full of the most perfect curiosities.  Their styling and photography is genius in which it captures the collection like ghosts revealing secrets and stories from the past.

Archaeology

 

Plumbing parts, steel fragments, bolts, bones, bits and pieces. Stacked, broken and upright...these are the amazing still life photographs of Irving Penn made between 1979 and 1980.  The platinum photographs have rarely been seen, but will be on exhibit beginning October 28th through January 18th. at Pace/MacGill Gallery.  I am very much looking forward to viewing Irving Penn's cabinet of curiosities!
