Shalini Passi Instagram – IRVING PENN: KINSHIP
Pace Gallery (@pacegallery ) presents Irving Penn: Kinship, curated by artist Hank Willis Thomas, at its 508 West 25th Street gallery in New York.
On view from November 15 to December 21, this show spotlights work produced by Penn throughout his 70-year career, including selections from his Worlds in a Small Room series, his iconic portraits of artists, actors, and writers, and other genres of his images. These photographs are exhibited within an installation designed by Thomas to replicate a structure that Penn used to photograph many of his high-profile subjects.
Penn has left an indelible mark on the history of photography. His inventive fashion photographs, which transformed American image-making in the postwar era, continued to appear in the magazine up until his death in 2009. The artist was also highly accomplished and experimental in the darkroom, having engineered, among other innovations, a complex technique for making platinum-palladium prints.
