This summer Pace/MacGill Gallery is exhibiting portfolios by six legendary artists: A Box of Ten Photographs by Diane Arbus, Portfolio by Robert Frank, Fifteen Photographs by Lee Friedlander, A Visit With Magritte by Duane Michals, Portfolio I by Robert Rauschenberg and Fifteen Photographs Garry Winogrand.

Aperture has featured many of these photographers in one form or another, particularly Diane Arbus. Diane Arbus: An Aperture Monograph is a 25th anniversary edition survey of her work, Diane Arbus: Magazine Work is a remarkable collection of portraits, Diane Arbus: Untitled demonstrates Arbus’s remarkable visual lyricism, and the upcoming Diane Arbus: A Chronology is the closest thing possible to reading a contemporaneous diary by the daring, influential, and controversial artist. She was also featured in issues of Aperture magazine: Aperture 199 and Aperture 168.

You can also see Duane Michal’s work in the recently released publication Photographic Memory: The Album in the Age of Photography, a book that traces the rise of the album from the turn of the century to the present day, showcasing some of the most important examples in the history of the medium.

An exhibition of Duane Michals’s series, “Photographs from the Floating World,” is now on view at Pace/MacGill Gallery. The exhibition features images from Michals’s early experimentation with non-commercial color photography coupled with original descriptions. He has described this body of work as revealing “the real world of appearances in which we live.” Michals was featured in the Fall 2008 issue of Aperture for his “Chromophilia” series wherein he was commended for his ability to “exercise the prerogative of allowing his work to evolve and change.”
