Photographic: A new gallery in lower Manhattan
While out looking for photos yesterday near the Brooklyn Bridge, I happened upon a new art gallery specializing in photography. The gallery is called Photographic and it's at 252 Front St., not too far, but fortunately not too close to the Seaport. Their website says they're open Wed-Sat. 2-9pm, Sun 12-7, or by appt. Their phone number is 212.252.2280.
The debut exhibition features two photographers, Keith Van Sickle and Barbara Mensch. The Van Sickle photographs are from Paris in 1955 and from New York in 2005. I prefer the black and whites of the Paris photos, but there are some interesting city perspectives and moods in the recent photos as well.
Ms. Mensch's photos are terrific portraits of the workers at the since relocated Fulton Fish Market. The collection is a mix of candid and posed (or placed) images. The images successfully and beautifully convey the flavor (odor?) of the characters at the market.
