Irving Penn - Underfoot at the Pace/MacGill Gallery through November 5
From the website: Studying Penn's prints, its subjects abstracted by intense changes of scale, the viewer might make associations - a pig's head, a Chinese Emperor, the Canals of Mars—in an unexpected experience of discovery and revelation. Presented without embellishment and in sharp-focus, this otherwise forgotten and unremarkable refuse becomes a source of visual intrigue and alluring beauty.
Unfortunately, there's little work by Penn online.
Famous for his fashion work, he is also a master of the still life.
Look for the books below, and others, and be sure to ask the gallery to show you his earlier work.
