Keith de Lellis Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of postwar Italian landscape photography by Mario Giacomelli and his contemporaries: Valentino Bassanini, Gianni Berengo-Gardin, Ulisse Bezzi, Augusto Cantamessa, Tino Carretto, Romeo Casadei, Arturo Crescini, Ferruccio Ferroni, Eros Fiammetti, Guiseppe Goffis, Carlo Monari, Enzo Passaretti, Santo Piano, Ezio Quiresi, Pietro Todo, Piero Vistali, and Umberto Vittori.
With upbringings rooted in traditional values, the photographers of postwar Italy considered the landscape to be an integral part of their lives and photographic practice. For these photographers, the Italian landscape served as a symbol for life, religion, and their reverence for their homeland. Ranging from the representational to the abstract, their depictions of their surroundings share an inclination towards experimentation with composition, contrast, and repetition.

Yossi Milo Gallery is pleased to present Direct Positive, an exhibition of new sun-burned photographs by Chris McCaw. This is the artist’s second solo exhibition at the gallery.
McCaw’s most recent work with high powered optics and vintage gelatin silver papers are collaborations between the artist and the sun. Remaining grounded in the tradition of landscape photography, McCaw has begun using lines burned by the sun as abstract elements to create pieces akin to line drawing. Direct Positive features complex pieces from the Heliograph and Poly-Optic series, as well as his most ambitious multi-panel Sunburn pieces to date.

David Zwirner is pleased to present press++, a new series of works by Thomas Ruff.
Working in distinct series since the late 1970s, Ruff has approached different genres of photography, including portraiture, architecture, astronomy, the nude, surveillance footage, reportage, and photograms. Using a wide range of technological approaches, and often pushing the limits of photographic representation in the process, he has reinvented historical conventions and expectations of the medium.
Shown here for the first time, press++ features large-scale photographs of archival media clippings from American newspapers that relate to the theme of space exploration. Ruff scanned the front and back of the original documents, which he has been collecting over several years, and combined the two sides in Adobe Photoshop. Interested equally in the subject matter (and any touch-ups) on the front of the paper and the words, stamps, signatures, and smudges on the back, he thus created seamless montages of image and text, in the process compromising the integrity of the former as well as adding relevant context.
