Gagosian Britannia opens an exhibition of eight new photographs by Vera Lutter

Gagosian is presenting “Turning Time,” an exhibition of eight new photographs by Vera Lutter. Lutter has created pinhole-camera photographs of architecture, landscapes, cityscapes, and industrial sites since the early 1990s. “Turning Time” comprises two series, one depicting ancient temples in the southern Italian town of Paestum, the other the Effelsberg Radio Telescope at the Max-Planck-Institut für Radioastronomiey in Germany, a radio telescope used for scientific research and recording cosmic activity in outer space. These studies of historical monuments and pivotal technological innovations reflect Lutter’s deep relationship with the forces of time. At each site, Lutter transformed a standard-size shipping container into a camera obscura, one of the oldest image-capturing technologies, whereby light enters into a dark camera space through a pinhole, projecting an image into the interior onto a sheet of

Clark Art Institute presents noted drawings from the Eugene V. Thaw Collection

Over the past fifty years, New York art dealer and philanthropist Eugene V. Thaw assembled one of the world’s finest private collections of drawings. The collection, known for its breadth and exceptional quality, charts the high points of drawing from the Renaissance through the twentieth century and features works made by pivotal artists at key moments in the history of the art form. Mr. Thaw donated his collection of more than 400 drawings to the Morgan Library & Museum, New York, which celebrated the gift with the September 2017 opening of Drawn to Greatness: Master Drawings from the Thaw Collection, an exhibition that has drawn critical acclaim for the diversity and quality of the works presented.
