First experimenting with photography in the 1980’s, Dirk Braeckman’s work has evolved into a singular form that evokes minds of sensual ambiguity and intimate solitude.

Mississippi

13 June - 18 September 2015 There are worlds within worlds in Coahoma County, writes artist John Chiara.

It is a landscape enlivened by a photographic... Read more

New Works

14 March - 30 May 2015 Known for his highly formalized and uniquely rendered landscape photographs, this work from German artist Elger Esser’s draws inspiration from mythology and romantic lore.

Freeways

15 February - 12 April 2014 Robbert Flick is a quintessential Los Angeles artist who has continually investigated the city’s conceptual landscape in a career that spans over 40 years. Freeways is the latest iteration of the artist’s continued exploration of photographic subjectivity, space/time and seriality. Over the past ten years Robbert Flick has focused intensly on the landscape as seen by car or train during his regular commute between work and home. He arranges the images captured during each journey into signature tracts of color, treating every frame like a brushstroke in a larger work. Read more

Excerpts from Silver Meadows

1 December - 26 January 2013 A highly personal yet fictionalized return to what Todd Hido refers to as the “architecture” of his childhood, Excerpts from Silver Meadows is a body of photographs brimming with sensuality and rich narrative threads. Read more

Read more

New Dyes

13 October - 24 November 2013 William Eggleston’s vision is deceptively casual and sometimes brutally direct. The results are often unsettling. Whether he is making portraits, landscapes, interiors, still-life’s or street scenes, he works with unflinching, unsentimental candor. By marrying this sensibility with sophisticated color, Eggleston continuously rediscovers the mundane world. Read more

SIGN/SKIN

26 September - 16 November 2013 This work, produced during a residency with The Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is both a startling departure from the past and an innovative use of her iconic style honed over the past decade. In 2012 she was invited by the museum to work with a local business and produce a new body of work based on the unique materials, history and processes associated with the host institution, which in this case, was Heinz, a brand synonymous with the city’s legacy. Sawada, who is acclaimed for her humorous and extensive self-portraits, collaborated with Heinz to investigate branding as a form of portraiture. Read more

Los Angeles 1964/2012

17 August - 21 September 2013 Bruce Davidson first came to Los Angeles in 1964 on assignment for Esquire magazine. As a young New Yorker in LA, he found himself at odds with what he described as a “cultural desert with acrid air, bumper-to-bumper traffic, tall palms, and seedy Hollywood types.” Nearly 45 years after Davidson first visited Los Angeles, he returned to the city with a vastly different shooting agenda. The crowded and buzzing social landscape of 1964 now serves as a distant backdrop for the quiet integrity of Davidson’s clawed up yuccas, attenuated palms, and parched hillsides. Read more

By Night in LA

17 August - 14 September 2013 In the series By Night in LA, Vergara returned to the familiar structures he photographed during the day. The buildings take on new character and significance when daylight’s brightness gives way to darkness. Vergara writes, “it was not the stars that illuminated the LA night, it was electric lights. Contrasting with the day view, light at night often came from the buildings themselves…fences and spikes illuminated from behind and alleys lit with patches of yellow tungsten, white fluorescent, and neon lights.” Read more

Redheaded Peckerwood

29 June - 3 August 2013 Redheaded Peckerwood is a work with a tragic underlying narrative—the story of 19 year old Charles Starkweather and 14 year old Caril Ann Fugate who murdered ten people, including Fugate’s family, during a killing spree across Nebraska to their point of capture in Douglas, Wyoming. The images record places and... Read more

Ametsuchi

17 May - 22 June 2013 In Ametsuchi, Rinko Kawauchi presents the field burning at Aso and the cyclical nature of life as a central motif. Along with this ritual, which has been passed down from generation to generation for thousands of years, Kawauchi also includes images of three other subjects, which emphasize ancient ideas of time, motion, interconnectedness, and the confluence of heaven and earth: the Shiromi Kagura festival (a theatrical Shinto dance ceremony in the Miyazaki Prefecture), scenes of people praying at the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem, and abstract drawings made with a laser pointer on a starry planetarium ceiling. Read more

Los Angeles

23 March - 11 May 2013 Though L.A. is a one of the most habitually photographed cities on the globe–a city built on image–Chiara’s depictions of it defy precedent and expectation. His Los Angeles is neither idyllic rural Eden nor sprawling urban hell. It is not the mythic city of glamour nor the spectacle of exploitation... Read more

SHE

31 March - 8 May 2012 This series of photos was made over a long period of time (2005-2009) in Oakland, Berkeley, San Francisco and Los Angeles, California; and Phoenix, Arizona. They represent moments borrowed from four women: Christine, her sister Gina and Christine's two daughters Sloane and Sasha. Christine's instability, Sasha's melancholy, Sloane's repeated transformations... Read more

On Hollywood

25 February - 26 March 2012 Lise Sarfati describes the women she photographs as "toys of strange and terrible fates they are aware of but which they never seem to achieve any control over". The underlying theme of these pictures is thus, the way these women choose to project themselves and the tension between their illusions and life's actualities in modern day Los Angeles. Read more

Voyage en Egypte

3 December 2011 - 18 February 2012 ROSEGALLERY's exhibition marked the debut of Voyage en Egypte in the United States and was the first in-depth presentation of Esser’s work in Los Angeles. Read more

Reflection

9 July - 17 September 2011 ROSEGALLERY is pleased to present REFLECTION our second exhibition of photographs by renowned Japanese artist, Tomoko Sawada. In her series, Mirrors, Sawada once again tackles the issue of identity by questioning the boundary between one’s own appearance and the self-image reflected in a mirror. The dual images in each photograph are presented like twins and while they bear a striking resemblance to one another, a closer inspection reveals how different they truly are. Read more

Murmuration

14 May - 25 June 2011 In the devastating aftermath of the recent earthquake and tsunami in Japan, artist Rinko Kawauchi ventured outside with her Rolleiflex and took a photograph of the sun. As with many of Kawauchi’s images, her subject was something we all come across everyday. But on that particular day in light of ongoing turmoil, everything seemed to take on new meaning and something rather ordinary was transformed into a lyrical and quiet revelation through Kawauchi’s act of rediscovery. Read more

Retratos Pintados

12 March - 30 April 2011 ROSEGALLERY is pleased to present Retratos Pintados, a collection of hand-painted vernacular photographs from Northeastern Brazil, on view 12 March through 30 April, 2011.

All Things Parr

asor

24 July - 18 September 2010 Amongst the pictures chosen for asor one won’t find Iturbide’s iconic images of the Zapotec people or photographs of the ritual goat slaughter by the Mixtec in Oaxaca that brought her to an international audience. Rather we are shown another side of Iturbide’s photographic quest. In a book without text... Read more

Six American Sunsets

6 December 2008 - 7 February 2009 ELGER ESSER's photographs walk a line between painterly concerns and photographic documentation, unapologetically beautiful images that document an emotional presence in the synchronicity of light and color. Six American Sunsets is the product of a two-month residency with The Lapis Press in Culver City, CA. Read more

Bride

7 June - 23 August 2008 ROSEGALLERY is pleased to present Tomoko Sawada’s newest work, BRIDE, a meditation on the dichotomies of old and new, east and west, tradition and fashion, and the instability of one’s identity when confronted with these divisions.

Three from Britain

8 March - 31 May 2008 ROSEGALLERY is pleased to announce an exhibition of photographs by Chris Killip, Martin Parr and Graham Smith taken in Great Britain from the late 1970s through the 1980s.

Read more

Ojos en los ojos

The Eyes in His Eyes 15 September - 31 October 2007 This exceptional collection of prints represents an Álvarez Bravo whose creative output can be distinguished by a virtuosity and daring characteristic of contemporary photographers of a much larger generation than his own. Read more

Götz Diergarten

24 March - 31 May 2007 From 1995 through 2001 Götz Diergarten used his camera to rigorously document various forms of vernacular architecture throughout Europe. During this time he created two bodies of work, each using the typographic style of German photographic formalism to reveal various details of the built environment around him. Diergarten’s work, distinctly void of the human form, explores the very nature of the architectural forms we create around ourselves, to provide an in-depth look at human nature. Read more

Subway

16 September - 28 October 2006 For an entire year in the early 1980s Bruce Davidson dwelt in New York City's underground; traversing six-hundred miles of subway lines with a Canon T-90, and a sunpak strobe hooked to the battery pack at his hip. Before the days of guarded subway depots and homeland security incentives, Davidson roamed freely amidst subterranean grafitti grottos, aiming his lens at the vibrant and virulent. ROSEGALLERY is pleased to present the culmination of Bruce Davidson's exploration—the only body of color work by New York's legendary photographer. Read more

The New Life

1 April - 31 May 2006 For Lise Sarfati, a native of France, the new life is the same wherever she happens to be taking photographs. It is that which her young subjects are questioning, and it is where their search will take them as they transform beyond their current adolescent reality. The new life, simply put, and beautifully rendered by Sarfati in a series of American-based images, is the so-called void into which each person she photographs stares, and the uncertainty of their very next move. Read more

Think of England

21 January - 28 February 2006 ROSEGALLERY is pleased to present its third exhibition of photographs by this unforgiving artist and photo-journalist; a hard-hitting, and hilarious exposure of Englishness particular to Parr’s own perspective of the world at large. The nostalgia and tacky traditions of British society are revealed in tight and unrelenting snap-shots that are as grotesque as they are romantic Read more

South Texas

23 April - 18 June 2005 A photographer for whom the human subject is often at the crux of her own self-discovery, Graciela Iturbide has recently relinquished her usual preoccupation with the indigenous people of her country in order to confront the solitary natural environment Read more

Americans in Kodachrome

11 December 2004 - 5 February 2005 A phenomenal testimony to an often idealized memory of postwar democracy, Americans In Kodachrome is an assembly of the nostalgic, conceptualized and brought to fruition by renowned conceptual artist, photographer, and printer, Guy Stricherz. Read more

William Eggleston

18 September - 27 November 2004 By now, William Eggleston's once seditiously catholic treatment of subject matter in photography has been consecrated in the liturgy of contemporary art. A generation of photographers inspired by Eggleston's innovations have attuned their eyes and cameras to the nuances of the seemingly innocuous. A generation of canny viewers possess a... Read more

Juke Joint Revisited

10 July - 28 August 2004 A child of the 1950s segregated South, Birney Imes embraced photography in part as a means to explore the social facets of the community from which he was withheld during his youth. Initially, Imes' subjects were the people themselves, the occupants of that unfamiliar culture. His subsequent photographs of local... Read more

Vintage Silver Gelatin Prints

3 April - 26 June 2004 ROSEGALLERY's exhibition of vintage silver gelatin prints includes several of Lange's iconic FSA images. This familiar context, however, frames an expansive collection of Lange's often surprising later oeuvre, including many previously unpublished images. Pedestrians and commuters from the "City Life" series are carefully plucked from their anonymity by Lange's camera. ROSEGALLERY's exhibition includes selections from Lange's work in regions as remote as North Africa and Hong Kong, and as intimate as her yard. The result is a testament to the honesty of vision, longevity and consistency of an artist already venerated but perhaps not entirely understood. Read more

Pájaros

29 March - 10 May 2003 The birds are Graciela's birds and the territory they describe are a microcosm of the topology she has long-since hewn with her distinguishing eye. Read more

Carnival Strippers

17 January - 6 March 2003 In the early 1970s, Susan Meiselas frequented small town New England carnivals, documenting the affiliated strip shows, their performers, employees and customers. The advancing women's movement of the era is the most obvious frame through which to regard Meiselas' consideration of this inflammatory subject. Meiselas' photographs share with the work of her contemporaries an ambiguity which is born not of descriptive inadequacy, but a thorough and uncompromising fidelity to her subject. Meiselas makes no reductions for the sake of indulgence or symbolic simplicity. The dramatis personae of Poverty, Oppression and Dignity are nowhere in evidence within Meiselas' bizarre microcosm. Read more

Time of Change

16 November 2002 - 25 January 2003 In 1961, Bruce Davidson traveled to Montgomery, Alabama to photograph the Freedom Riders. His experience there was the beginning of a five year entanglement with the Civil Rights Movement. Davidson's photographs, however, are not tributes to inviolate righteousness: they are a frank depiction of a tumultuous and disparate society whose future and whose character were still far from certain.
