On Exhibit: the delicate art of corporate communications

by Deanna Silberman June 14, 1990August 20, 2021

Once every year, no matter what it usual line of business, every publicly owned company becomes a publisher. Men in red suspenders sit down with men in ponytails to cook up ideas.

On Exhibit: the woman of Edward Weston’s dreams

by Deanna Silberman March 23, 1989August 20, 2021

When photographer Garry Winogrand died, he left some unfinished business. Winogrand had always had a backlog. From the beginning, he insisted on snatching images from the flow of life rather than setting them up, an approach that made it certain he would shoot in quantity. And he was always more interested in hunting the pictures […]

On Exhibit: portraits of mothers and daughters

by Deanna Silberman February 25, 1988August 20, 2021

So what are we to make of Niki Berg’s nude Self-Portrait With Mother–the mother’s ample pink body exposed, belly, scars, and all; the grown-up daughter hiding behind her?
