Via Gallery Hopper, I found the newest work of the great Michael Kenna, a series of New York City that was exhibited at the Robert Mann Gallery (images here) in New York.It is wonderful to see the unique “Kenna” style, with dark shadows, high contrast and clean lines. His work provides a distinct look of “perhaps” the most photographed city in the world. Few weeks ago I had the opportunity to see some of his prints and I have to say that if you ever get the chance to see a print from Michael Kenna prepare yourself to get breathless. They are so amazing.

I was fortunate enough to catch this show. Kenna’s work seems almost anachronnistic – small, hand-crafted black and white prints have become increasingly rare, and his are very well done.
I agree, small prints, but so well crafted that they are something really special. In times where big appears to be the norm, his exquisite small prints are a “delicatessen” of photography.
Thanks for sharing. Best.
