‘EPILOGUES’ SHOWCASES PHOTOGRAPHS AT ROBERT MANN GALLERY JULY 11

avv/gs set 6-25 #704244

NEW YORK CITY — Robert Mann Gallery will present “Epilogues,” an exhibition of photographs by Albert Halaban, Jeff Brouws, Mary Mattingly, Laurent Millet and res July 11–August 24.

The first installment of a continuing theme for future summer shows, “Epilogues” will showcase works created by these artists since their solo exhibitions at the gallery between 2005 and 2007. An opening reception will be Wednesday, July 11, from 6 to 8 pm.

“Epilogues” presents new works in which, since the time of their solo shows, each artist has continued the themes of the series exhibited. Ranging from social and cultural to natural landscapes, the exhibition reveals traceable threads of style and subject matter for each artist and his or her oeuvre.

Halaban’s penchant for photographing the multifaceted urban lives of women trying to balance wealth, opportunity, education, family and self is never more poignant nor complex than in her portraits of mothers living in New York City.

Brouws captures the tension between nostalgia and neglect, development and responsibility in various manifestations across rural, suburban and urban America.

Mattingly further develops “Second Nature,” constructing and photographing an imagined post-industrial civilization. Mattingly’s new images are ever compelling as her futuristic vision is increasingly plausible.

Millet’s most recent work pays homage to Bernd and Hilla Becher and Mondrian with straightforward photographs of small painted glass houses.

In collaboration with Constanza Piaggio, res continues to translate iconic works of Western art from canvas to photograph.

Robert Mann Gallery is at 210 Eleventh Avenue between 24th and 25th Streets, Tenth Floor. For more information, www.robertmann.com or 212-989-7600.
