PRESS: ELINOR CARUCCI’s KIN AND SELF

Fotografin Hus’ current exhibition of Elinor Carruci’s Kin and Self received great reviews, one of which states (translated from swedish):

Naket kärleksfullt utan försköning (Naked Loving Without Embellishment)

“There is nothing flattering in Elinor Caruccis photographs. That is why they are so affecting. They stick in the memory, not necessarily because we want to remember them, but rather because we can’t forget them. With her camera Carucci follows the family life that goes on around her…”

“…Without being shocking, Caruccis family suite appears as daring in its ruthless honesty in the portrayal of their own experiences. It is as lovingly as it is nude. She never hesitates before exposing herself and her nearest in everyday intimate moments. The camera examines details as if it was a magnifying glass. Children are breastfed, milk is dripping from a swollen breast, a blood trail winds in the basin. Spouses sulk and reconciliate. Very private and at the same time easy to empathize in. It’s about time passing in ordinary life without embellishment and without moralizing.”

PRESS: DLK’s top photography venues in NY, 2011

Sasha Wolf Gallery is proud to be a part of DLK Collection‘s Top Photography Venues in New York in 2011. We were placed along side many prominent venues, in a comprehensive list of Museums, Contemporary Art Galleries, and Specialist Photography Galleries, reviewed by DLK in 2011.

“I think we would all expect to see names like Janet Borden, Yossi Milo, Bruce Silverstein, and Yancey Richardson among the leaders, given their recent historical strength, but I’d also like to single out newer galleries like Higher Pictures and Sasha Wolf Gallery, who have emerged from the pack with thoughtful and consistently intelligent programming.” -DLK Collection
