Lee Friedlander: The American Monument

In images made in the 1970s, Friedlander complicates notions of commemoration by photographing statues and monuments dwarfed by their environment, or taking on an alternate role within their surroundings.

Black and white photograph out the window of a car of a reflection on a parked car

Lee Friedlander: America by Car

Traversing the country in a rental car, the artist photographs the built and natural landscape directly from the driver’s seat. The car’s mirrors, doors, and windows act as frames for the images, which juxtapose steering wheels and dashboards with roadside bars, monuments, and mountain ranges.

Hiroshi Sugimoto: Photogenic Drawing

In this series, Hiroshi Sugimoto investigates the scientific origins of photography. In 1834, William Henry Fox Talbot produced some of the very first photograms on sensitized paper, setting a variety of botanical specimens directly on the paper’s surface and exposing the paper to sunlight. These experiments eventually yielded rudimentary paper negatives made from a camera obscura. Talbot, however, never created positive prints from many of his negatives. Alongside many prominent museums, Sugimoto is also a collector of Talbot’s early negatives, and by making photographs of these fragile, delicate objects, Sugimoto aims to at last share these very early images with the world.

Hiroshi Sugimoto: Mathematical Forms

In this series, Hiroshi Sugimoto again brings his interest in mathematics and science into the visual realm. “Art resides even in things with no artistic intentions,” Sugimoto has commented. Here, the artist has photographed a series of mathematical models, all of which are sculptural renderings of trigonometric functions. Fabricated in Germany in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, they are now owned by the University of Tokyo.
