Recent work by the legendary fashion/portrait photographer Irving Penn. It is extraordinary the delicacy and sensitivity of his work, the grace of his portraits reflected in still life images. In exhibition at Pace/MacGill gallery in New York City, from February 21st to March 29th, 2008. See some of the images here.
Mr.Penn (b.1917) has made still life photographs since the beginning of his career. In fact, one of them appeared as his first cover at Voge in October 1943. Now in his 91st year, these new images mark Penn's return to familiar forms. The objects are more than mementos, they are long-time companions. In fact several of the vessels in this exhibition have appeared in previous photographs made decades earlier [from the press release].
