1999

About the Item

AP 1 Signed, titled, dated and numbered. Gum print From Salamone series "In 1998 and 2001 I travelled around the province of Buenos Aires (Argentina) with the purpose of making a photographic survey on Architect Francisco Salomone's buildings. His work, developed between 1936 and 1940, in approximately twenty-five towns and cities of the province, was compliant with the plan of Manuel Fresco’s conservative government, which aimed at building slaughter houses, cemeteries, and town halls in several areas of his jurisdiction. My interest towards this issue was first aroused in 1997 by a documentary exhibition held at Borges Cultural Centre. In it, the art critic Edward Shaw presented information on the majority of Salomone's production. Fascinated by the symbolic implications of this building program -symbols that enter the political, historical, literary and, in general, ideological grounds- I made the decision of exploring this architecture by means of the photographic media. Salomone's work is a monumental and wonderfully creative expression of a style in which Art Deco and Rationalism merge. In my view, and analyzing it from the perspective given by the current situation, his task as official architect shows the failure of a country's project. Although Fresco's management was quite successful, behind his ambitious urban program, the failure of the rich agricultural and farming Argentina utopia became apparent once again. And this failure broadens the gap between that fiction we still believe in, and the reality we are not yet determined to accept." - Esteban Pastorino Diaz Esteban Pastorino Diaz was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1972. In the early 1990’s he studied as an engineer planning to join his father’s gunsmith business. After the death of his father and the sale of the family business, Esteban pursued his passion for art combining his engineering studies. Over more than two decades, Esteban has exhibited in solo and group shows in galleries and museums around the globe. Major international museums have collected his work including the Art Institute of Chicago, the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and the Museum of Modern Art, Buenos Aires. While participating in an artist residency in Greece, he started his KAP series. This aerial series was performed with a hand-made camera attached to a kite. The shutter was triggered by remote control. Later, as in the Las Ventas series, he no longer used a kite, which remained a tedious, time-consuming method. His technique changed by photographing from a high perspective with the lens producing short depth of field. Currently Esteban Pastorino has been working on panoramic images made with a hand constructed stereo panoramic camera. This camera is able to turn 360 degrees on a tripod. Or it can remain stationary while moving in a car or having the subject pass by the camera. In June 2011 he made the longest single photograph negative, 129 feet, 8.5 inches, depicting almost 2 miles of Buenos Aires. He was awarded the Guinness World Record for creating the longest photographic negative, which measured 39.54 meters or 129 feet and 8.69 inches in length. A retrospective of his work will soon be exhibited (2017) at the Recoleta Cultural Center in Buenos Aires, which will include a 72 image circular stereoscope, 4.5 feet in diameter.

  • El beso, San Jose, Costa Rica by Mario Algaze, 2005, Silver Gelatin Print
    By Mario Algaze
    Located in Dallas, TX
    El beso, San Jose, Costa Rica by Mario Algaze depicts a couple kissing on the street. The man and woman embrace each other tightly, framed by the decorative bricks of the building wall. Gelatin Silver Print Signed, titled and dated by Mario Algaze Paper size: 16 x 20 in., Image size: 8 3/4 x 18 3/4 in. Mario Algaze was a contemporary Cuban-American photographer whose work celebrated the culture of Latin America. In 1960, at the age of thirteen, Algaze was exiled from Cuba with his family. He relocated to America and settled in Miami, Florida. Miami offered a rich cultural mecca that encouraged Algaze to travel throughout Central and South America. These trips allowed him a glimpse of belonging within a familiar culture. In finding his identity after exile, he began photographing Latin America in the 1970’s while reconnecting with the feeling of home. His photographs embody the everyday of Latin life. Between his travels in the late 70’s, Algaze studied visual art at Miami Dade College. Algaze’s masterful command of light illuminates his street scenes that detail the struggles and victories of Latin culture. Mario Algaze was the recipient of various acclaimed awards, including the Florida Artist Fellowship from the Florida Arts Council (1985), the Cintas Foundation Fellowship in Photography (1991), the Visual Arts Fellowship and the SAF Artist Fellowship sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts. In 1992, he received the National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship in Photography. A retrospective collection of his work was showcased in the important monograph, Mario Algaze: Portfolio, published by Di Puglia Publisher, 2010. Additional monographs by the artist include, Mario Algaze Portafolio Latinamericano, Mario Algaze: Cuba 1999-2000, and Mario Algaze A Respect for Light: The Latin American...

  • Lovejoy AKA Brooklyn, Illinois, Sisters for Ebony Magazine, 1952, by Art Shay
    By Art Shay
    Located in Chicago, IL
    Art Shay Brooklyn: Sisters, 1952 silver gelatin print 24.25 x 20.25 framed ASY103 Art Shay photographed the community of Brooklyn, IL for Ebony Magazine, 1952. These photographs are the result of that experience. Brooklyn (popularly known as Lovejoy), is a village in St. Clair County, Illinois, United States. Located two miles north of East St. Louis, Illinois and three miles northeast of downtown St. Louis, Missouri, it is the oldest town incorporated by African Americans in the United States. It was founded by freed and fugitive slaves from St. Louis, led by "Mother" Priscilla Baltimore in the period of 1829 to 1839. Its motto is "Founded by Chance, Sustained by Courage". “Art Shay’s photography shakes you up, sets you down gently, pats you on the head and then kicks you in the ass.” Roger Ebert “[Shay’s work] ranks with some of the greats of the 20th century.” Ellen & Richard Sandor, Renowned photo collectors “I’ve admired Art Shay’s work for almost forty years, and he keeps getting better. He can do anything with a camera, but what he mostly does is capture real moments and transform them into visual poetry. His work continues to be an inspiration to me.” William Friedkin, Director of French Connection “Art Shay is one of our finest photographers. His work over the past fifty years has artfully captured the beauty, humor, and pathos of America.” Studs Terkel “Art Shay is one of the best photojournalists I know. I’ve been a fan of his work since the early 1950s - before the launch of playboy magazine.” Hugh Hefner Algren, Terkel, Royko, they gave us a voice. Art Shay gave us a face.” Tony Fitzpatrick, Chicago Artist “Art Shay is America’s Cartier-Bresson.” Thomas Dyja, author of The Third Coast “Chicago’s Art Shay in many ways is to American photography what Nelson Algren was to American writing: that rare and absolutely necessary citizen who’s blessed with a cold eye, a clear head, and a warm heart. What is it about Chicago that keeps giving us men like this?” Russell Banks, Novelist “The best images of Simone de Beauvoir and her times have been passed down to us by Henri Cartier-Bresson, Gisele Freund, Robert Doisneau, Georges Brassai, and in America, the Chicago-based Art Shay, all world-class photographers.” Christophe Loviny, Art Editor, Paris “Art Shay is the best photo-journalist Chicago ever produced.” Arthur Siegel...
