Over the past decade, Dutch photographer Bert Teunissen has documented hundreds of old European homes. These are rudimentary yet cultured settings aglow with a warm, timeless atmosphere; spaces in which a primary interior feature is that of natural light. Made in numerous countries, including the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Italy, France, Great Britain, Spain, and Portugal, his poignant photographs capture and record architecture—and a way of life—that is quickly disappearing.

Inaugurating its 2007 exhibition program, Aperture Gallery presents On the Wall: Aperture ’05–’06, the first in what will become a biennial exhibition, showcasing work by all the living artists featured in the previous eight issues of Aperture magazine.

Lola Alvarez Bravo (1903–1993) is widely recognized as Mexico’s first woman photographer. The exhibition at Aperture Gallery, which is curated by Elizabeth Ferrer, a New York–based independent curator and writer specializing in Mexican and Latino art, features fifty-five vintage photographs spanning Alvarez Bravo’s entire career and is the first major representation of her work in over a decade.
