LAURENCE MILLER GALLERY TO PRESENT ‘PAST (PRESENT) FUTURE’ JULY 9

avv/gs set 6-25 #704244

NEW YORK CITY — Opening July 9, Laurence Miller Gallery will present the exhibition “Past (Present) Future 1,” featuring highlights from the previous exhibition season, along with a preview of the season to come. The exhibit will be on view through August 16.

One of the most asked questions in galleries today is the ubiquitous, “Did I miss the Arbus, Gursky, Wolf Kahn or (fill-in-the-blank) show?” With more than 500 art museums and galleries in New York City, many people miss what they would like to see because of the sheer quantity of offerings.

For this reason, the gallery has chosen to devote the summer schedule to the best in those shows that were wonderfully conceived and received, and previews of those that are on the horizon.

Highlights of the season gone by will include: Diane Arbus, “Junior Interstate Ballroom Dance Champions” paired with Helen Levitt’s “Amazed Boy,” a selection of city stills from the gallery’s AIPAD solo Ray K. Metzker show; color landscapes by Toshio Shibata from Japan and Peter Bialobrzeski from Germany; seascapes and landscapes by DoDo Jin Ming; and Julie Mack’s “Stallion Suite” from her inaugural exhibition.

Highlights from upcoming shows include Burk Uzzle’s color photograph, “Prada Store, Marfa, Texas,” anticipating his September opening; a recently acquired Ray K. Metzker composite that hints at things to come in the late fall when Metzker’s retrospective opens in Lausanne, Switzerland, and a concurrent show here; and recent Cranbrook Academy graduate Jonathan Keller’s 1.5-minute video Living My Life Fast, a mobile self-portrait spanning a period of eight years.

The gallery is at 20 West 57th Street. For information, www.laurencemillergallery.com or 212-397-3930.
