FOR 8/31

JOANN VERBURG AT PACE/MACGILL GALLERY SEPT. 6

avv/gs set 8/21 #709686

NEW YORK CITY — Pace/MacGill Gallery will present “JoAnn Verburg,” an exhibition of recent color work, September 6–October 13.

The exhibition features more than ten large landscape and portrait photographs and coincides with the exhibition, “JoAnn Verburg: Present Tense,” on view at the Museum of Modern Art, New York City, until early November. A book signing and reception will be held at the gallery on September 27 from 5:30 to 7:30 pm.

Verburg works extensively in Italy and features the Umbrian countryside in much of her work. She began photographing olive trees in Spoleto and the woods of Monteluco because of the many holm oaks there. The ancient Romans believed them to be sacred, the first trees created by God.

Her picture convey the ethereal quality of early morning and evening light and provide subtle commentary on the ephemeral nature of time as represented by the constantly shifting angles of the sun through ancient olive groves.

Spoleto is also frequently the site of the Verburg’s portraits of her husband, the poet Jim Moore. Her images of Moore apply the intimacy of her landscape work to the representation of her husband in the close frame of their shared environment within the more expansive context of the world (and time) at large.

Pace/MacGill Gallery is at 32 East 57 Street. For information, www.pacemacgill.com or 212-759-7999.
