NEWS: SFMOMA DEBUTS FIRST MAJOR TOURING EXHIBITION OF GARRY WINOGRAND’S WORK IN 25 YEARS

• The first retrospective in 25 years of work by artist Garry Winogrand (1928–1984) will debut at SFMOMA on March 9 and run through June 2, 2013.

• Jointly organized by SFMOMA and the National Gallery of Art, Garry Winogrand brings together the artist’s most iconic images with newly printed photographs that have never been exhibited or published until now.

• Known primarily as a street photographer, Winogrand captured everyday strangers on the street and the rich and powerful; protesters and politicians; airports and zoos. The photographs in the exhibition and accompanying catalogue will paint a vivid portrait of the artist as a chronicler of postwar America.

• After premiering at SFMOMA the exhibition will travel to Washington, D.C., New York, Paris, and Madrid.

• For more information, read the full press release.

Saw and loved these at the NADA art fair in Miami Beach. Your picture is better than mine, Blake.

DAILY PIC: Disposable cameras, given to 24 artists to do with as they please, then offered for sale for $1,000 each – with no instructions for what the buyer should do with the camera, its film or the images on it (if any). This project, by W/ (pronounced “with”) of New York and on view at the NADA art fair, was one of my favorite works at this week’s artfest in Miami Beach. It poked fun at the obsessive act of shopping and choosing that art fairs are all about, and short-circuited any normal connoisseurial impulse. Buyers were simply asked to put themselves in the artists’ hands, and trust that good would come of it. If I were to buy one of these signed cameras, I’d keep it unopened, allowing hope and potential to rule the day.

This untitled photo is from The Louvre and Its Visitors, a photo series spanning three decades (1965-1994) by Alécio de Andrade (1938-2003). Andrade, to me, is a Brazilian Garry Winogrand in Paris. Their photography has strikingly similar balance of humor, voyeurism, and empathy. They also both seem attracted to the same subjects: street scenes, women, animals, animals with people, and people at museums.

Every time I look at this photo I took at the American Museum of Natural History, I have trouble believing it’s real life and not a diorama. (AMNH is on Tumblr.)
