Sally Mann’s latest body of work, Proud Flesh opens Tuesday, September 15 at Gagosian Gallery in New York City coinciding with Aperture’s publication of her monograph by the same name. A deeply personal and moving project, these candid nudes of her husband, Larry Mann, explore subtle complexities between both man and woman, and artist and subject. Her unique production process gives a painterly feel to the images, which are contact prints from wet-plate collodion negatives that are produced by coating a sheet of glass with ether-based collodion and submerging in silver nitrate.  Be sure to attend the opening reception of this inspirational body of work from one of contemporary photography’s icons.
